Would you prefer "long and hot?"

You ok with no runs in 6.2?

Did you see this? He makes your point extremely well. -
Gunnar. Highest reward to risk investment. Scott Boras notwithstanding.

I believe that it is not a specific pitch or pitch-shape that is the culprit. I think it is the desire to throw harder and to spin the ball more. Check out this discussion: -
For those of you following at home: Pedantic = "someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter." Buzzkill = "a person or thing that spoils the mood or the pleasure of others."

I voted over. Bat to ball skills are elite. He will hit. He has defensive value that will show as he gets more comfortable at 2B. His speed and base running also add value. He's at least a 3 fWAR player.

Keep putting his name in the lineup. He's gonna hit.

What do we know about his current catch and throw skills? My recollection is that he was not a defensive wizard as a youngster. Have these improved? I also recall some questions about conditioning and the ability to be behind the plate during the Dog Days of summer.

Big day for Bradish. Here's to 3 IP with 40+ pitches. In PRP we trust....

I've always been wary of the injury bug and its effect on elite catchers. I'm in the camp that says ride him hard and don't extend him. Get as much value out of his time before FA. Spend the money extending Henderson, Holiday and Cowser.

Along this line of thinking, solo HRs happen when you are pounding the strike zone and limiting walks. When you have stuff like Grayson pounding the strike zone makes total sense. These are MLB hitters, after all, you will yield a few long balls. It's best not to have men on base when you do it.

Not entirely sure what yours was either.

There appears to be a reasonable number of " organizational space fillers," at Bowie as well.

If you were GM, what would you do about the AAA depth?

I would prefer not to argue semantics with you. Can we agree to disagree?
