  1. FB up to 97 with 20" movement. Potential plus breaking ball. Inconsistent delivery, but potential for solid mechanics.
  2. He’s not blocked by anyone. He’s not much of a fielder, but if he hits, they’ll find a place for him.
  3. There's only three weeks left.
  4. I'd be excited if they got Crews or Langford, ambivalent if it's Skenes, happy with Clark or Jenkins, pissed if they pick Teel, or anyone else.
  5. Holding him back! He's 21 with half a season in AA and a week in AAA, and less than 700 total minor league at bats. He has a lot to work on.
  6. He was regularly touching the upper 90's during rehab, and with his extension that gets on you in a hurry, but coming off an injury, you can expect inconsistency as you build up arm strength and settle into a routine.
  7. Nope, he’s gone before August 1
  8. Apparently they didn't think much of any of this years free agent options.
  9. As far as i know, he only missed significant games with injury once two years ago.
  10. They needed a shooter on the wing, and they got one on an expiring deal, and picked up a couple 2nds. The have assets to do other things, if they want.
  11. Shouldn't, take who has the higher grade. If it's a pitcher, fine, quality defender, fine. Trust your scouts. If players don't pan out, get better scouts.
  12. Positional value is accounted for in the players grade. It would be a poor approach to draft based on need or position played, rather than overall grade.
  13. Crews, but it's close, maybe the one who will take less. Any of the clear top five, not Teel, unless he took a huge discount.
  14. Even I don't want to be in any group that would have me as a member.
  15. I thought it was his body double?
  16. Exactly, he acts like there are only two sides, hater or sycophant. Is Harris a good GM? We don't know yet. Are the Tigers playing good baseball? Sometimes, but not consistently. Do they have enough talent to compete in the playoffs? No. Do they have a pipeline of good, young talent? Some, but not enough. Is there hope for the future? Of course, there's always hope.
  17. No one defended anything, except the absurdity of jumping to conclusions based on irrational assumptions.
  18. Correlating that to the practice of calling players up is a non sequitur. Gaining an extra year of control and being thorough regarding developing players can have good baseball value not simply a "business approach". Further we have no track record yet on Harris, so there is no reason to assume any predilection.
  19. What I'm saying is; that opinion has no basis.
  20. Your theory has no basis.
  21. I only see one FCL (a 9-4 loss in which Jobe pitched) and two DSL.
  22. What are you talking about? They used to have two rookie Florida ss teams, now they have one, they've also lost the higher ss team that was in Connecticut. They've long had two latin teams, so they are down two ss teams and have contracted the total number of players.
  23. Since creating RBI is proven not to be a skill possessed by certain players, but rather the result of circumstances, there is no reason to place more "value" on them.
