A lot of us are dreaming on this kid. Seems like he has a shot to be really good. Hope that arm strength thing isn't real over time. I get why he's pretty low on the list though. Doesn't have amazing pedigree, is very young and like everyone else he hasn't played much over the last year.

So we're basically dreaming on a kid who looked good over relatively SSS. That mutes the enthusiasm a bit, but he apparently did look really good.

I think the fact that he's all of those things you mentioned and still this high on the list tells you how much I like what I've heard about him. I'm looking forward to seeing him play in 2021.

Tony, I love that you're referring to this spot on the list as high. In year's past, this was no man's land. Now it's actually a sign that you have a shot. That's awesome.

The depth goes out to 25 really. After that it's get a bit sketchy but some still with upside. Honestly, I haven't even considered the new international signees because they are so inexperienced, but several of them could be on the list next year.

      Gunnar or Witt try to be impartial? part2

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I think the point about Gunnar being left handed does swing this in his favor, if it’s an Os specific question. No sense in having your main stud player hitting warning track lasers that would be HRs in 29 other ballparks, over and over again. We may find out exactly how frustrating that is when it comes to Mayo the next couple years  Hopefully we find out! As for the speed, Witt is of course faster. But Gunnar had 20+ stolen bases himself this year. Not like he’s slogging around out there. And Gunnar is a fantastic baserunner overall   I think the defense is closer than people think too. Easy to be biased negatively because Gunnar struggled for a bit there. But there’s a reason we were all so surprised by that - he’s been rock solid otherwise.    Lastly if we had Witt, we wouldn’t have Adley.  Which still matters despite his tough second half. That element (which I realize isn’t necessarily part of the question) makes it a complete no-brainer.

      I'm sure they had to hold a certain number of decent seats back for MLB and corporate sponsors for the playoffs.

      Maybe a groundball back to Cano.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By dzorange · Posted

      They've upped the prices back to $77. They've also opened up a lot more sections for purchase. I found this very frustrating when I went to a game a few weeks ago. Many sections appeared sold out and then they added seats for purchase a couple of weeks before the game. Perhaps it has to do with season ticket holders deciding to not go to the game and then the tickets become available?

      WC Playoff roster vs KC

      I reckon it’s because Bowman is a contact guy. I know his strikeout rate was 8 with the O’s, but historically he’s been more of a 7 SO/9, so Selby does bring more of the strikeout potential. Although, ideally, you don’t want either of those guys pitching in the playoffs. But hey, maybe Selby ends up being That Guy for us.

      I know you know, but we gotta adjust from just to cover innings over 162 to playoff time. We won’t need more than Burnes, Eflin, Coloumbe, Cano, and Dominguez. Maybe one of Akin/Perez.
