It’s the assurance that we intend to run our small market organization with the foresight of other successful small market and or/ analytics driven teams. And the peace of mind that we will spend money for the right players. I don’t really want to be in a position in 5 years where we have to talk about trading Rutschman because we have no choice.

All good answers so far. I think the biggest developments for me would be to lock up Gunnar and Adley with massive extensions.

Wow. Would love someone to ask him a question about it on Twitter.

Basallo might be my favorite prospect in the system right now. If he moves off catcher, is 1b his only option we think? I wonder how he’d play in RF.

I might be more excited for ST than I am OD Also completely forgot about Prieto. Excited to see what he can do.

Yea I read that in the original article but still think it’s a bit wild to drop a player 50 spots in one year when that player clearly made adjustments at two different levels and reached a third level. I guess I’ve never really cared about Law before, but his rankings this year were the closest evidence I’ve seen of a bias against us, implicit or otherwise.

Didn’t he have him in the mid 50a last year? And to omit him the following year, after he plays at three different levels and stays healthy, seems hard to defend. But back to McDaniel’s list. Hell yes. Sorry to hijack

I’m honestly questioning whether Law legitimately just forgot about Cowser.

Agree that a timing mechanism like a toe tap or leg kick isn’t as significant but a weight transfer and hip turn, imo, are part of the actual swing and much more significant.

Hmmm I think those are all crucial aspects of the swing as a whole though.

Then were the big adjustments he was making last year solely related to swing decisions?

Very excited for Westburg too and I could maybe see him making the OD roster if he rakes in ST AND god forbid, we suffer a few injuries in the infield, but chances are we won’t see him til June. But yes, I think he has a shot to be our Marwin Gonzales/Ben Zobrist if not even better.

His mom wouldn’t let him.

That would seal the deal for a Cohen Brother’s biopic ‘Inside Lewin Diaz’

Ehh nah, that’s an easy 80 I’d say.

Agree, it makes no sense. Infuriatingly risk adverse.

I love this thread because we can use it in season to discuss the playoff race too.

He looks intriguing though. His swing looks a bit long and in an in-game video I watched his bat was slow. But then looks much quicker in a BP video. Also, at least a 70 grade name.

Just looked up some videos and they show him hitting from the right side.

Jacob Wilson.

“Help us help you”

Haha

Exactly. The same could and most likely will happen to Boegarts and Judge but the difference is there is apparently nothing on either of their physicals to concretely site this as a reason not to give those contracts. It just sucks for Carlos.

Everyone except Wieters, I think.

maybe they’re both white knights!
