euphronius posted:Is Dylan Cozens going to be good or was that a fluke year. He's got a long way to go but he could be good. I don't think he'll ever hit as good as he did in Reading but I think he could hit in the majors after a couple seasons of development. Maybe like a .260/.320/.460 line? I think Hoskins has a better shot at success hitting though. tadashi posted:That home ballpark also led to Darin Ruf hype. Darin Ruf was older and never as well regarded as Cozens was before 2016, though. e: Also Cozens might actually stick in the outfield whereas Ruf was basically a 1B by the time he even hit AA.

Oh wow Hoskins is a year older but crushed AA as well. Well at least the Phillies seem to have some real power in the minors. First time since... Howard ?

I guess the exciting thing about Mookie Betts is his ability to do the grapevine while tracking down routine fly balls? https://twitter.com/MLB/status/846402698467512321

FlamingLiberal posted:Jose Fernandez was amazed at the concept of free refills and a buffet This reminds me of a story from SI about a Japanese pitcher (I thought it was Mac Suzuki but he supposedly learned English in his teens) when he came over to the U.S. During Spring Training, he went to a McDonald's and went up to the counter, and the cashier kept asking "Would you like a Big Mac?" and he kept nodding and answering "Hai!" before a teammate noticed what was going on and helped him figure out how to pay and all that. He ended up ordering something like 7 Big macs and finishing 5 of them.

To be fair, Matheny and top management went into spring training with "this season is going to be all about baserunning and defense!" He excels at those two things by far. And then they said, nah, you are going to be platooned. So, if this platooning is due to his poor spring, it makes it even worse. Of course, however, it does make sense to platoon him. But, management is going back on all their talk about defense and baserunning, then. I'm unsure why Jhonny Peralta has seemingly locked up third base though. He was very bad coming off the injury last season and is 35 years old. Gyorko should be filling in time at 3rd, 2nd, and 1st. Not just platooning with Wong. And the whole Carpenter is a first baseman now leaves Matt Adams with zero games. Unless they are literally going to trot him out to LF to murder Dexter Fowler on gap shots, which again, goes against all this defense and baserunning poo poo Matheny and Mo have been spouting.

I would like Addy to improve his OBP and Willson to not regress much as he gets more regular playing time. I would like for Juliana Zobrist to write an even catchier walk-up song for Ben. I would like a good moment to put in front of a moon in 6-8 months. also a repeat blah blah

Maddon actually lets Russell steal bags like he's said he wants to, and Addy has himself a 20/20 year. Baez is also a candidate for 20+ steals but I'm not sure if he'll generate enough contact to hit 20 bombs.Popete posted:Kyle Hendricks to continue clowning hitters with an upper 80's fastball. Also this, please don't regress to hard Kyle.

breaks my heart to see eddie in the racist hat there. also according to his DL they're putting him up in a locker room or something? shameful organisation. my hopes for the jays this year are: 1. pillar offensive breakout season 2. a healthy rotation all season 3. offense between 2015/2016 levels while maintaining last years pitching quality and a world series. edit: oh I needed to pick one, alright make it the offensive breakout season for kp and throw in a gold glove while you're at it The Walrus fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Mar 27, 2017 |
