but Phil Hughes is wearing the wrong hat. MLB changed this year to the "performance headwear," and the under sides of the bill of the cap is now always black. They're showing a bunch of closeups of Huges on YES on MLB.TV, and Hughes' bill is greyish white - last year's model.

Didn't Wells get in trouble for wearing an old Yankee hat a few years back instead of the one he was supposed to be wearing?

I'm not suggesting he get ejected or anything, but if Trembley or someone on the bench noticed and made a point of it, maybe a little gamesmanship could rattle the kid.

Random thought, I know, but maybe someone on the bench has a laptop and notices this thread;)

Wow...you need a hobby. Why not come obsess over Matt Wieters with the rest of us? You can do that here, here, and here! :D

MATT WIETERS MATT WIETERS MATT WIETERS MATT WIETERS!!!!

Ugh. No. Can't you read??? I said that David Wells is in the stands wearing a Matt Wieters jersey. And eating 14 hot dogs.

I am glad that you didn't say that Wieters was in the stands with a Yankee cap on, sitting next to Jack Cust and being interviewed by Amber while at the same time text messaging Mark Teixeira! :D

As a "people like us" I can say the following:

1) As much as I read Uni Watch, Paul Lukas' "no purple, no black and everyone should wear '70s style stirrups" thing is getting really old...

2) I distinctly recall Sam Perlozzo wearing last years cap earlier this season. With the Yankee$ having last changed their home uniform in 1867, I'm sure their guys turn up in new old gear all the time...

I agree with both of those assessments (except for one point). I may be a Patriots fan, but I do like the Ravens too and I think they pull off wearing purple (and black) with class. It works for them.

I do think baseball players should dress like baseball players instead of kids getting ready for bed. Stirrups, or at least high socks, get two thumbs up from me. Pajama pants do not.

      See, you just can't help yourself.  You gotta get personal haha.  Never fails.  I see that a lot on internet message boards and to me it is always a sign of weakness and/or they have no argument.    Be better.

      Basallo for Crochet?

      ESPN (Kiley McDaniel) provides notes and re-rank of his top50.  Note that he removes players who have already lost or projected to lose eligibility in next week or so (meaning no guys like Cowser on O’s or Langford on TEX).  Link to post (note is behind paywall). Holliday #2 and 65 FV tier (along w/Skenes who jumped to #1 overall) Mayo #6 and 60 FV tier Basallo #16 and 55 FV tier Kjerstad #47 and 50 FV tier Fangraphs (Eric Longenhagen) provides update to his top100.  Unlike Kiley/ESPN, this list does not yet reflect any changes or projected changes to rookie eligibility (ie guys like Langford and Chourio are still in the top100 list).  Link to top100 list and his separate write up post. Holliday #1 Basallo #9 Mayo #22 Kjerstad #26 Povich #92

      Exactly, your point about his upside is one of reasons I advocate him to play CF . And yes our personnel has an opening at CF . Jackson is 20 now and still at AAA . What better time to start crash course on CF than now ?

      I don't disagree but they've been extraordinarily fortunate w/ their contact. Feels a little like the 2014 Royals series..... everything's a hit.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      This is crazy to me.  Holliday has shown 29 fps sprint speed in a very short stint up, which is plus-plus speed.  Sprint speed doesn't even peak until like 23 or 24, so he might go even higher.  Sprint speed is one of the universal hallmarks of raw athleticism and a Holliday is really fast.   The argument for athleticism applies doe people like Juan Soto, who is a once-in-a-generation hitter but appears to be pretty mediocre as an athlete by MLB standards.  There's no way Holliday fits that description.   And if athleticism benchmarks are too specialized, just look at his defense.  He's rated at +2 at 2b in only 2 weeks by OAA, and he hasn't even looked his best.  A mediocre athlete wouldn't be able to handle the dynamic movements of a MI position the way Holliday has.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      My first 2 choices to trade would be Holliday and Heston of the guys who really haven't played on the Os much yet.  I think you could get almost whatever you want for Holliday (big time starter) and add in a couple of pieces with Heston and get 2 really good relievers.    And before you ask me who?  We have all seen the names on here but guys on other teams are really not by forte.  I will leave that to the experts.  Anyway..... Bingo, your pitching staff is much better.  You can win a WS this year and have pitching for next year.  All without hurting the team this year and maybe not even next. BTW in this scenario I resign Santa in place of Heston.
