Don't we owe it to Mounty to get every rbi possible for him?  Where was all the mercy when the Yankees hit Gunnar and threw at his head the night before?  

We were not throwing at Judge.  He is just a baby.  

If it was up to me I would have poured it on even more, but a message has been sent today and maybe the Yankees organization will stop running their mouths.

    • I don’t think Baseball Savant is the best measure of first base defense. It only considers plays where first baseman is the first player to touch ball and doesn’t consider receiving throws at all.  For this reason, I think DRS is better for first base.
    • Elias isn’t doing anything close to that for 2 years of control 
    • It depends on the guy and the situation.   Mayo spent from June 30, 2022 to July 9, 2023 on the Baysox and from July 14, 2023 to now on the Tides.    Basically, a full year at each stop.  Westburg had 158 games at Norfolk.    Now I am going to say this for maybe the 25th time: I don't care how ready Basallo's bat becomes, he won't be promoted to the majors until (1) the O's decide he's ready defensively, or (2) they decide he isn't going to be a catcher.    They are NOT going to call him up to play half-assed catcher defense, not even if he's only catching 25% of the time.   They. Will. Not. Do. It.   And if that means he spends an extra half-season or even full-season in the minors after his bat is 100% ready to go, that's what they're going to do.   
    • well    Prospects with Enormous upside. Getz will probably ask for 2 of 3 …Holiday, Basallo and or Mayo, Plus more   https://www.lafbnetwork.com/los-angeles-dodgers-rumors-garrett-crochet-trade-offer/
    • I actually don’t think Elias is anywhere near that rigid in principle. However, he is very disciplined in wanting the value exchange to be even. He’ll maybe stretch a little but not much.  Practically, that limits the possibility for blockbuster trades. 
    • I did a project many years ago (which I posted about here) where I looked at the outcomes for every prospect from 1991-2005. In that period, there were only 8 hitters with >150 PA in the Eastern League at age 19 or younger (out of 1854 players in the EL age 26 or less overall). Exactly one (Dioner Navarro) had a OPS >.800. Others in that age-19 group included Edgar Renteria (0.717) and Jose Reyes (0.757). Only 12 hitters at age 20 in the EL had OPS >.800 in that span, and that list includes a massive number of future stars: Ryan Zimmerman, Jim Thome, Joe Mauer, Grady Sizemore, Cliff Floyd, Edgardo Alfonzo, Luis Castillo, Jhonny Peralta. Basallo's presence in the EL at his age is incredibly rare, and his performance at that age nearly unmatched. High performance at that age does not guarantee anything - nothing about prospects is guaranteed - but it makes major league success far more likely than for other young prospects, and in particular gives the highest chance of future stardom.
