Sisco profiled here as one of the league's biggest gainers in FB Pull% last year.

https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/2019-review-fb-pull-surgers/

His track from ~11% to ~22% almost exactly Juan Soto's directionally, except for the, ummm, power thing.  He was a stark opposite field guy previously, so the doubling just gets him to within shouting distance of league average.

Yeah, it was pretty clear that Sisco was trying to pull the ball more for power. That approach has hurt his average and caused him to strike out more. He was a much better all fields hitter, but I guess baseball is getting away from that approach and wants dingers, so dingers he will try for!

I've written him off and they should pick the best player available.  Even if Sisco is somehow hitting .400 into June and Rutschman has asserted himself as the #1 pick, they should still take him.

No need to pick Posey with Wieters tearing up the minors.

Nothing. I just don’t know what reasonable thing he can do to get to where Rutschman is. I mean sure if he starts showing double plus raw or barrels elite pitching to a ridiculous level, but thos

Think his increase in "pull hitting" could be attributed to him cheating a bit at the plate and starting his swing earlier (also hence the strike outs), vs. letting the ball travel more and going opposite field?

I've always thought he cheated on fastballs to offset his less than stellar bat speed.

I'm pretty bearish on Sisco at this point.  He's below average defensively by all accounts, so he needs to hit, and hit well, to be a player of any import to a good team.  I'm not getting the sense he'll do that, but we'll see how 2020 goes.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      Yes my mistake I thought those were eligible. They may be eligible after winter meetings. Manfred seems to like the idea of making more picks available for trade.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I always compare where we are in attendance to payroll. As it stands our attendance will be 19th in the league and payroll 22nd. The Twins are at 19th with 130 million dollar payroll which is 22 million higher than ours. I expect the Nats and Tigers to spend a little this offseason so that 130 million mark for 19th place may move closer to 140. Still gives this team 50-60 million to spend on either resigning guys or free agents.

      Well, the changes to the flex plans this year led both me ($1200 plan) and my friend ($2500 plan) to not renew for next year. The decision to more severely limit playoff presale access and dramatically reduce the discount on food and drinks at the park just didn’t make it worth it to tie up that much money in advance. So, we’ll likely go to far fewer games next year. Given the press reports and online reaction, I have to think we weren’t alone in our decision making.

      Rivera and Soto are hitting.   Holliday and Mayo are not.

      Holliday could fill the role of pinch runner that Mateo would fill.

      AL playoff picture

      Yeah. I don’t get that either. SEA would win head to head tie with HOU and push HOU into WC race but it’s irrelevant if the loses don’t match.

      Maybe, just maybe, theres a ray of hope

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Regardless of how down I've been about their recent play, there's always been some hope. Getting some guys back in time for the post season will definitely help.    The way this team has been built requires a group effort. I mean,  Gunnar is a huge star, but the lineup when healthy can be competitive top to bottom. I'm not knocking NY here, but if you can eliminate Judge(almost impossible), you stand a chance vs them. I'm not implying that they will go on a deep run because we've seen how bad it can be, but simply saying that getting healthy and having a shot is the best we as fans could have hoped for with the way this season has gone.
