Everyone cools off after leaving Albuquerque. It's one of the most hitter friendly ballparks in all of baseball. It's very commonly >95%ile in...
Interestingly he pushed his already high TTO numbers from 55% in AAA in 2023 to to 61.5% this year. That's Joey Gallo level (career 59% TTO)....
Ryans is betting big on those guys' leftover upside. Both were top 10 overall draft picks a few years ago....
This is wild to me. On so many levels. 1) that the commercial lists are so off, cuz Melton to my knowledge was getting the least hype of the...
I have zero insider knowledge but IMHO there's no rush to get this guy on a mound in full season ball. He's never pitched above 47 IP in a...
Is this something you've mentioned before because it's news to me. Internally i had Melton 3rd in the grouping but you're telling me Brown (and...
Doubt this is primarily a service time manipulation. He had a 1/3 of a season at AAA and ran a 32.6% K rate and 79 wRC+. He definitely can use...
I forget, was this guy the poor man's Javier? Invisiball without the nasty slider?
Don’t forget last off season was abbreviated as possible. Long World Series run with early build up due to the World Baseball Classic. hopefully...
ST stats are a notoriously poor predictor of in-season performance. For every JD Martinez there’s 20 guys who look amazing and later flop in the...

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/hows-my-driving/ Interesting retrospective from Eric Longenhagen, the Fangraphs head prospects guy. He looks back at...
Yea, the runway for this guy to be a useful big leauger is short. He's likely going to be old-for-level at every stop. That's going to be make it...
Sounds like a total lottery ticket. Inquiring minds wonder why a 20 y/o who put up a 181 wRC+ in the DSL played another season there.
This is a jumbled mess of logic. Team pre Ime: Athletic but very poorly coached. Fairly low BB IQ besides Sengun Team with Ime: Similar...
RIP hope he’s got a stew going wherever he ends up
well... the bar is completely different for the two players. We're still figuring out what Cam can be. Jalen we know he can probably tear up a...
It fits with Dana Brown's high upside > high floor mentality. Puts a lot of stress on the player development team but may as well gamble on one of...
Sad. Billy didn't get it this year.
i think he gets a pretty long leash as the 7/8th guy out of the bullpen. He gets all the Seth Martinez ultra-low leverage innings.
