FlamingLiberal posted:The Marlins hired Rays' GM Peter Bendix to be their POBO. Adding onto that other post, I think the problem is not that no Rays front office guy is capable of functioning outside the org, I think the problem is that owners either think “Rays exec + large payroll = rings” or “Rays exec + no payroll = postseason every year” without, like, the player development system or scouting to go along with it to keep the 90-win seasons and fleecing trades coming. The second was a bigger issue before the wild card expanded again but since you can limp into the postseason easier than ever, eh.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:He did lead all LF in assists in 2023 I haven't run the correlations or w/e but I'm pretty sure outfield assists are still the driving metric behind outfield gold gloves. What I'd like to find out is how many assists were direct throws vs throwing the ball and it results in an out via a cutoff throw. I guess he'll have to play LF, again, next year when Juan Soto is the DH. So, hopefully, his fielding takes a step back in the right direction. tadashi fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Nov 6, 2023 |

Hitting the cutoff man in the right position for him to turn and throw quickly is a skill too

I remember Benji Gil coming up in 1993 heralded as a huge prospect and franchise savior. I want to say I was even at his debut game or at least one very shortly after. What a massive bust he turned out to be. Edit: Also massive lol that I am now getting SPRING TRAINING PRESALE emails from the Rangers. Who the gently caress buys Spring Training tickets in November?

I can't imagine a scenario in which he'd be willing to deal with the Mets. Like, every owner/front office is probably a pain in the rear end, but an owner who will trash you to the press?

It'd be very Mets for them to blow it. And after the Giants signed their obvious pick in like 48 hours, I wonder if the Mets are blowing it.

In general I find the “Manager X is just a front office puppet” an extremely stupid and obnoxious complaint. Baseball Managers are middle managers. They serve at the pleasure of their boss. They are expected to communicate the team’s player development vision to players and manage personalities. This is no different from any other middle management position. If they ignore their boss or consistently go against their boss’s directives then they’re not going to last long in their job. But there’s a large contingent of fans who seem to think it’s still 1910 and John McGraw is out there making roster moves and scouting talent.

Gotta say I'm not feeling great about Stephen Vogt as the new manager but we'll see, I guess. Given he only had one year as a bullpen coach for the Ms I'm not... optimistic and would have liked someone with a bit more experience. But, oh well.
