1984Echoes

They're going to make the playoffs in 2023.

PS: That really was a filthy pitch...

Me likey... He's a big guy too at 6' 5" 190#'s...

Heads... must... roll.

I would be interested in Pages, from the Dodgers...

I ADORE the Ukrainians nimbleness, flexibility, competence and resourcefulness... ... and valor.

Yeah... the constant telegraphing is terrible military strategy... Unless they're consciously trying to reduce pressure in Donetsk... Until better equipped to both hold the line in Donetsk as well as make a move on Kherson and not caring whatever reinforcements were brought in by the Russians... which would speak to an extremely high level of confidence which I DO approve of...

I like Melton too... He seems like he has some development upside. Not power... I don't think he gets to higher than low-to-mid 90's, where he's already at... but his secondary pitches could get a real nice bump so... we'll see.

The heat has been turning up higher though, lately... Time for a change of plans... It's now time to run for President in order to avoid prison...

Yeah, that's why.... 2003.

There's some grainy silent film on...

"Great range for a 1B'man, and better arm than usual for the position... Great in-game power, but highly susceptible to swing-n-miss on sliders..."

"I would give a thousand pelts..."

He actually made a truthful statement? I'm SHOCKED!!!

Probably.

We have a boatload of guys (pitchers) in MLB, or almost there, from the late rounds (for whatever reason): Brieske, 2019, 27th round. Garrett Hill, 2018, 26th round. Chance Kirby, 2018, 25th round. Brendan White, 2019, 26th round. (Fernander and Chentouf in 2018, 35th & 36th rounds if either makes it to MLB as a reliever... not out of the question...). Will Vest was a 12th in 2017, and we've also called up Drew Carlton, 2017 32nd rounder... Who knows what the staying power is of any of these guys... but it's pretty remarkable, I think, to have this many late-round pitchers all of a sudden knocking at MLB's door, or already there... in the same time frame.

Seth Stephenson, OF. See...? All your prayers are answered....!

Kerry Carpenter was drafted in the 19th round.

Aren't they going to start at the Lakeland Complex first? And they might even get some FSL time (sorry for the old nomenclature... I forget the new ones...). I don't think you have to worry about moving guys up or out... just yet.

I like Jung and Graham. And Melton too. After that it looks like utility guys but I do like their first 3 selections so far...

I didn't remove MLB at all. SO FAR... my numbers are exactly correct. And to your point... if Tork comes back up here on a tear, in his next 180 PA's, he easily surpasses Kelenic. It's just... yet to be determined.

I'm good with Troy "Jacob" Melton...

Right. What would you trade Tork for....? Start from there and then add/ subtract to get to Kelenic. Even if the bloom is off the rose...
