Why?

if a guy is bad over a long time, he’s just bad.

he can start in the minors but not at the MLB level.

Bad one season in AAA.  Not bad over a long time.  I want him to do it at the major league level but you're way overstating your case, atomic.

He was bad in 1 season in Norfolk and downright awful in 1 season of Norfolk/Baltimore.

His Spring Training right now is giving him a huge advantage in the offensive category for the 25 man roster, but his regular season is key. Same with everyone else.

Wow, 3 in three official at bats, 7 RBI.    That will get your attention.   

I am happy for him, but if we cant be happy for Wright and his production in 4 innings, the same applies to Chance.

The question here, is, we know he can bat, but his play behind the plate was below average and thats not going to cut it.

If -.2 WAR is awful and 0. WAR is replacement that leaves -.1 for bad?

I think you are exaggerating his difficulties just a tad.

It would be kind of poetic if part of Hyde's opening act is getting a lot from Sisco by making him feel comfortable after the story that Buck stopped Wieters-hazing in his early days as skipper.

For any roto-heads out there, I have an option to keep Sisco for $5 in my AL-only.  This was an easy no until about today.  March 1 is keeper declaration day.

He put up a .736 OPS in 2017 as a 22 year old in Norfolk - a difficult place to hit.  I wouldn't call that bad.  He only had 150 at bats their last year.  

He obviously struggled significantly in his limited time in Baltimore last year.  I think there is some hope for him based on how good he was the rest of his minor league career.  

Perhaps he has made some serious adjustments and will be a break out player for us this season.  Not counting on it, but not writing him off based on a lousy 2018.

How deep are the rosters, and how many teams?

    • I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if he changed nothing in terms of strategy.  Look at what he traded recently right handed batters. I feel like it is more important to him to be innovative, and develop players that have been forgotten or have failed in the major leagues than it is to actually win a World Series. Obviously, that’s the end goal of all the things he’s doing, but he wants to do it in a way that looks innovative, and it looks like he knows more about the players that failed and how to fix them than any other person. I honestly believe that is why Hyde has been here so long. He does everything that he’s told and they don’t want to bring in a manager that won’t do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a lineup made up for him every day and I also wouldn’t be surprised if the whole game plan was planned out for him. What do you do when and where.. Obviously the numbers mean a lot in baseball and are extremely  helpful but they’re not everything. 
    • I'll celebrate whoever we get in a high echelon of MLB talent, but unfortunately unpacking this season too soon I think I don't even really want to win the Burnes bidding. Elias will value the next half season of information on Felix, Grayson and Bradish to figure out who goes with Eflin.     The growth he showed this year winning the Burnes and Eflin trade markets adds confidence he'll staff the top of the pitching roster appropriately in July 2025. If he is very risk averse with Kremer, Povich and Suarez, people would flip out but people like Kyle Gibson, Patrick Corbin and Jose Quintana hit me as safe innings he might actually pursue.
    • The team's valuation only matters at time of sale. The owner's wealth in an uncapped sport like MLB determines how much the team can spend. Steve Cohen by any metric available has tons more millions to SPEND than Hal Steinbrenner. Steve Cohen has even operated at a deficit over 100 million before which I believe was in 2023. And most importantly he has the WILL to get into the deepest of pools when it comes to FA as he has already shown in his short time owning the Mets.
    • I think Bregman would be an awesome fit. I don’t know how you decide westburg/JH and who plays second, but Bregman would be that veteran RH hitter who has experience and enjoys the big moment. Maybe we try JH at CF officially. Maybe he’s super utility next year, but that would be a weird way to develop a #1 prospect. but I would love it if we got Bregman. 
    • The Musgrove deal was viewed as a team-friendly hometown discount extension at the time.
    • Richest owner and richest team are different things. If you go by most valuable teams the Yankees are very high up there. If you go by richest owner it's the Clippers owner.
    • It's actually the Cowboys but I don't think they need any pitching.
