Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1.

It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything. 

So, it doesn’t matter which list he is #1 on as long as it’s one list?    Fangraphs is clearly going to be an outlier.   It’s doubtful that Baseball America, Pipeline, ESPN, Just Baseball, The Athletic, etc., etc.  are going to have Basallo #1 based on previous rankings.

Fangraphs is the same place that didn’t have Cowser in our top 10.

I’ll give you a half pat on the back because someone had Basallo #1.   The full pat on the back comes when another major site does it.

I think I saw he was 13th on the MLB list.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      By StottyByNature · Posted

      You're being obtuse.  He would have had the job for good if he had played reasonably well.  He looked completely overmatched in those first 30 AB's so they rightly sent him down.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By e16bball · Posted

      I think dropping the cutter was a big development for him. He used that a fair amount (15%) through the end of his ML stint in July, but then they totally shelved it after that. Seems he replaced it primarily with more use of the sweeper, which proved to be a more effective pitch. After he came back up in August, he had a 4.25 ERA and a 3.47 FIP, which are both very solid numbers for a rookie starter. He did that against a pretty tough slate of opponents, including BOS (x2), DET (x2), LAD, HOU, and MIN.  More specifically, he had a 6.27 xFIP against RHHs up until August, and the cutter was one of his weapons against them. After coming back up (and discarding the cutter), he had a 3.82 xFIP against RHHs. That’s a game changer, and the next step is probably getting that changeup polished up to be the other weapon against righties.

      I think green bar above the color coded line is Swing and the brown bar below the color coded line is Take. So data from each zone straddles its color coded line. So he was bad when he took pitches in the heart, and bad when he swung at them in the shadow.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      Ward is a good option because he’s still playable against RHP’s and is decent defensively. He K’d a lot this year but he doesn’t chase much and his whiff rate is fine. Not sure if he’s available, but Lars Nootbar would be a great option. He’s LH, but he doesn’t chase, doesn’t whiff, walks a ton, is a decent fielder, and is almost as good against LHP’s as RHP’s. He would be a perfect lead off option to allow Gunnar to hit 3rd.

      Agree. Eflin and Grayson are likely to miss some time on the IL with something hopefully minor. Suarez is 35 and who knows. No guarantee that Bradish and Wells are options.

      That chart on the right is confusing AF. I see -14 swing runs in the shadow and -13 runs on take but the chart on the left says -16 runs total in the shadow. I dunno.  I do know it backs up what we show with our eyes and that he missed or took way too many hittable pitches this year.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      I'd like to add another question.  A serious one. How do we improve our first inning performance.  We had a lot of 1-2-3 starts to games, unless Gunnar was hitting a home run.  Who is the answer to a high OBP guy (or two) at the top of the lineup?  All we have are guys we "hope" can do it, but hope is not a strategy.  I'd prefer someone that has maybe proven it at the MLB level.
