: Hey everybody, welcome to the chat
|
| 2:02 |
: Who’s the most effective beginning pitcher prone to be accessible and which prospects should the Orioles deal to get him?
|
| 2:02 |
: I imply, the BEST? Crochet
|
| 2:02 |
: I believe the White Sox are going to need a haul, although, and rightly so
|
| 2:03 |
: He’s an fascinating case, I’ve been doing numerous due diligence on mover and shaker sort pitchers for the commerce worth record
|
| 2:03 |
: coming at you on the finish of the month, and many others
|
| 2:04 |
: I’m actually not fairly positive what to do with guys like him, Skubal, mainly the folks in Dan’s article immediately
|
| 2:04 |
: so okay, Skubal and Crochet are each free brokers after the 2026 season
|
| 2:05 |
: we expect they’ll each be glorious over these years
|
| 2:05 |
: like, 8-ish WAR in 2.5 years, that’s a reasonably good projection for a pitcher
|
| 2:06 |
: but additionally… by the identical projections, Coby Mayo, for instance, is at 8 for these years
|
| 2:06 |
: I’d commerce Mayo for both of these dudes
|
| 2:06 |
: however I’m struggling to wrap my head round how the league will behave
|
| 2:06 |
: Which fringe-ish pre-Statcast period participant do you would like we had the brand new numbers on? I would like Wily Mo Pena exit velocities.
|
| 2:07 |
: We’ve talked about this one earlier than, and sure, it’s Wily Mo after which I’d love bat monitoring on Bonds
|
| 2:07 |
: his homers per swing obtained so ludicrous at his steroid-aided peak
|
| 2:07 |
: like, it might simply be a spectacle
|
| 2:07 |
: So Volpe appears to be a median hitter to this point (sizzling begin and trending down in the direction of 100 wRC+, not nice statcast sliders). How assured are you that he’ll turn into a very good hitter?
|
| 2:08 |
: I’m above common assured that he’ll find yourself within the 100-120 wRC+ vary
|
| 2:08 |
: which is nice for a plus defensive shortstop
|
| 2:08 |
: I believe there’s little or no debate on that entrance, btw
|
| 2:08 |
: baserunning and protection dude with marginally plus hitting, he’s like Lindor Lite
|
| 2:09 |
: works for me!
|
| 2:09 |
: giants homestand appeared good! I really feel just like the ahmed correctly center infield combo is best than the correctly estrada proper now, any ideas on that?
|
| 2:09 |
: I used to be at two of the video games and watched many of the relaxation, feeling very Giants-y of late
|
| 2:09 |
: man, that is powerful
|
| 2:09 |
: surprisingly i really feel just like the one you must play is Properly?
|
| 2:10 |
: the otehr two can’t hit
|
| 2:10 |
: i would desire Properly SS Estrada 2B although
|
| 2:10 |
: I can’t fairly discuss myself into Ahmed
|
| 2:10 |
: Is Paul Skenes a high 10 pitcher but
|
| 2:10 |
: Any hope that the Nats may signal Soto?
|
| 2:10 |
: I hope that is Cheng, in that case hello
|
| 2:10 |
: if not, although…. I imply, it’s throughout the realm of risk
|
| 2:11 |
: I don’t suppose it’s probably, but it surely will get much more probably if the Yankees do worse than anticipated adn the Nats have a loopy good second half
|
| 2:11 |
: What have you learnt or think about groups is perhaps doing with synthetic intelligence instruments? Have you ever heard of anybody digging in to this matter?
|
| 2:11 |
: There was a extremely good sequence on growing velo within the Athletic final week
|
| 2:11 |
: I’d extremely suggest studying that
|
| 2:12 |
: I’m undecided to what extent that is mirrored throughout the sport however they’d some interviews with the Driveline people speaking about utilizing AI to attempt to develop optimized pitching mechanics
|
| 2:12 |
: Assist us Obi-Wan Clemonobi, you’re our solely hope!
Begin Bregman or Large Royce Lewis in a H2H factors this week? And is it time to chop Carroll for Wyatt Langford in the identical league? |
| 2:12 |
: I couldn’t reduce Carroll, however I’d strat Royce I believe
|
| 2:12 |
: Vladdy reduce his hair on June 19 and is slashing 409/435/932 with 6 HR and a wRC+ of 282 since then. If he shaved his head utterly, what would these numbers appear to be?
|
| 2:12 |
: I’m guessing… 282 wRC+
|
| 2:13 |
: Vladdy Samson is a enjoyable story, although
|
| 2:13 |
: I’m rooting for it to maintain going
|
| 2:13 |
: Heliot Ramos – actual, sustainable, and many others.?
|
| 2:13 |
: I wrote about him final week (I believe? possibly two weeks in the past)
|
| 2:14 |
: Primarily I believe that it’s on the entire actual, I believe he’s made some significant changes since his prospect star light
|
| 2:14 |
: I do suppose that he’s going to undergo some rising pains, although, b/c primarily he’s labored out a very good adjustment that’s getting him forward in counts
|
| 2:14 |
: however pitchers will most likely toss something new at him
|
| 2:14 |
: Cleveland’s catchers rank 2nd in MLB in WAR (massive shock, to me). Is {that a} results of counting all 211 of David Fry’s PAs in the direction of catcher WAR? Or are solely these PA/innings behind the plate counted?
|
| 2:14 |
: okay so, I don’t see that?
|
| 2:14 |
: right here’s our leaderboard with positional cut up ‘as C’
|
| 2:15 |
: it has cleveland tenth, with 57 PA and 1 WAR from Fry there
|
| 2:15 |
: ah yeah, use ‘positional cut up’ and never ‘main place’
|
| 2:15 |
: if you wish to solely rely after they’re on the spot
|
| 2:16 |
: we now have each so that you simply don’t need to do dumb issues like take a look at the record of catcher WAR and have adley lacking b/c he DH’s
|
| 2:16 |
: however I like utilizing positional cut up once I’m taking a look at groups
|
| 2:16 |
: It positive does get messy when your workforce underperforms for a couple of straight years… So the present main underachievers appear to be the Jays and Cubs. They each have their GM’s in place for a number of years, and Each groups have had some accidents however IMO the foundation chase of steady frustration is roster building. I think about each GM’s really feel the warmth. They’re between a rock and a tough place. How do both or each of them salvage something by staying the course and never buying and selling for prospects or buying and selling for the prospects. It nearly looks as if each of them regardless are useless males strolling. Successful, is that the one factor that can,maintain,Atkins or Hoyer employable as GM?
|
| 2:16 |
: employable as a GM? I don’t actually suppose so
|
| 2:17 |
: folks appear to be extra re-employable than I’d count on
|
| 2:17 |
: that mentioned, I believe that solely profitable can repair each of those conditions. if the Cubs lurch again right into a rebuild, why would you retain Hoyer? And the Jays put collectively this grand decade-long plan and nicely, if it doesn’t bear fruit, possibly somebody new ought to take the helm
|
| 2:18 |
: Are there any real looking consumers for Lane Thomas?
|
| 2:18 |
: i believe so, however I believe the market is gonna be fairly tender
|
| 2:18 |
: I’m avoiding particular commerce proposals in immediately’s chat, b/c we’re gonna do sufficient of these as we get later into July
|
| 2:18 |
: however I believe that Thomas has simply gotten too near the top of workforce management to be an enormous commerce piece
|
| 2:19 |
: and he’s taking part in nearly completely within the nook, now, so there are numerous these varieties with higher bats accessible
|
| 2:19 |
: The Cubs appear to only be a foul workforce at this level. What would you do in case you had been of their sneakers? They’ve a deep farm system with numerous 45FVs, however not numerous 55FVs. Would you empty a few of it out for a Mason Miller/Robert Jr./and many others “massive” transfer, or dump guys like Cody Bellinger and different short-term belongings for…extra 45FV guys? I suppose? Looks like they’re each in an honest place, and likewise not one to simply transfer out of.
|
| 2:19 |
: I believe I’d simply keep the course, to be trustworthy
|
| 2:19 |
: I don’t actually suppose that making an enormous transfer is sensible, though I suppose Robert may change my thoughts on that
|
| 2:20 |
: I believe that one factor that groups who haven’t put all of it collectively but under-appreciate is that having an enormous mass of excellent however not nice prospects will increase the probabilities of a breakout someplace
|
| 2:20 |
: in the event that they fall utterly out of the race, positive commerce leases for some prospects which might be’nt on the 40
|
| 2:21 |
: however eh, I truly like the general building of the Cubs org
|
| 2:21 |
: re: Statcast for oldy-old occasions, I’d need Statcast on historic fireballers like Bob Feller and Nolan Ryan. Joe Posnanski made daring claims in his “Baseball 100” that he thought Satchel Paige was throwing 100+, and I’m guessing it’s extra just like the league was throwing 80 and he was throwing 90 and it appeared like 100.
|
| 2:21 |
: yeah! I used to be pondering extra folks inside my lifetime
|
| 2:21 |
: Rickey Henderson dash pace
|
| 2:21 |
: Babe Ruth exit velo, the break on Sweet Cummings, the inventor of the curveball
|
| 2:21 |
: how for much longer do i’ve to look at anthony volpe, leadoff hitter? and whose job was it to listen to him say “I’m gonna flatten my swing to hit the ball on the bottom extra” and never strap him to the Clockwork Orange rig with movies of Alex Bregman till he recants?
|
| 2:21 |
: oh man, now THIS take I agree with wholeheartedly
|
| 2:22 |
: Volpe can be at his finest if his offense tendencies in a Bregman path
|
| 2:22 |
: that’s not a leadoff hitter
|
| 2:22 |
: Been to any Ballers video games? We’ve been to 2 and it was good enjoyable (although would most likely be much more enjoyable if we may hit a recreation that wasn’t a blowout loss…)
|
| 2:22 |
: No, however I’m planning on it later this summer season
|
| 2:23 |
: Going to a Stompers recreation in July too
|
| 2:23 |
: Has Jackson Merrill moved forward within the NL ROY? I simply watched him tear the Pink Sox aside and was astonished by how good he’s.
|
| 2:23 |
: So, sure, but it surely’s going to rely closely on Skenes
|
| 2:23 |
: and Yamamoto, obv, however I believe particularly Skenes
|
| 2:23 |
: there’s additionally that complete you’re by no means pretty much as good as you take a look at your neatest thing
|
| 2:24 |
: Merrill’s energy has been a shock
|
| 2:24 |
: I’m skeptical that he’s gonna stick with it, however I’ve been very impressed by the bat to ball
|
| 2:24 |
: which I used to be presupposed to be impressed by, in fact
|
| 2:24 |
: Why did the Pirates DFA a damaged, however serviceable Roansy Contreras, then exchange him on the workforce with absolutely the worst from the waiver wire? GMBC says they’re betting on pitch traits they like. Are the traits how the rainbow shot seems to be off the opposite groups bat? Marvel at this stat line, Ben Heller: 2 IP, 49.50 ERA (14.16 FIP), **20 TBF**
|
| 2:24 |
: I actually don’t know
|
| 2:24 |
: I used to be shocked they gave up on Contreras within the rotation, not to mention general
|
| 2:25 |
: To not be overly pedantic (truly, exactly to be overly pedantic), that is actually Vladdy Nega-Samson – his hair was holding him again, not giving him energy!
|
| 2:25 |
: Oh wow yeah, glorious level
|
| 2:25 |
: dunno why I believed that method
|
| 2:26 |
: Two gamers who got here out of nowhere this yr: India and Josh Smith. Which is extra prone to maintain it going ROS? The Fangraph projections tilt in the direction of Smith however love India’s dwelling park. You?
|
| 2:27 |
: if we’re speaking fantasy worth, I’m on India, however actually each face some taking part in time crunches and I’d most likely be seeking to deal both if somebody was
|
| 2:27 |
: Matt McLain clearly deserves a spot in Cincy, and he’ll get one
|
| 2:28 |
: it’s gonna lead to a jam, I’m not saying India will get pinched but when he struggles time will dry up
|
| 2:29 |
: I believe it’s not fairly as dangerous on teh Rangers however the issue with Smith is that realistically, you’re relying on his protection to provide you a flooring on his worth given his slap hitting tendencies
|
| 2:29 |
: So when Josh Jung comes again….
|
| 2:29 |
: like, are the Rangers actually gonna run out Smith in an outfield nook?
|
| 2:30 |
: that’s mainly the place they’ve availability. I believe they may. However I fear that if he will get chilly, he’ll flip right into a platoon man quick
|
| 2:31 |
: Jacob Wilson has a .411 cumulative minor league BA. He batted .455 in AA, obtained a promotion, and is batting .447 in AAA (ISO over .200 at each ranges). Scouts suppose he’ll keep at SS. Shouldn’t this man be getting extra high prospect hype?
|
| 2:32 |
: trying via his statcast stuff now
|
| 2:33 |
: I imply, it’s a matter of diploma, it appears to me
|
| 2:33 |
: we now have him as a high 100 man, second within the system behind Miller (so #1 now)
|
| 2:33 |
: identical with mlb.com
|
| 2:34 |
: I believe the rationale he’s not getting like completely shoved is that he has actually low uncooked energy
|
| 2:35 |
: there’s simply not quite a bit there when it comes to loud contact. however he’s additionally solely 51 PA into his triple-a profession
|
| 2:36 |
: in order that’s extraordinarily early to say something
|
| 2:36 |
: I’ll say, I’m usually in on these bat management no-Ok guys, and I predictably actually like Wilson
|
| 2:36 |
: however he must hit some extra bombs if I’m gonna put him on the VERY high of the record
|
| 2:36 |
: Hey Ben. What’s your favorite dinosaur?
|
| 2:36 |
: nice query, BeerJays
|
| 2:36 |
: it’s a stegosaurus
|
| 2:37 |
: I actually like these dorsal spines, and I like that (as of once I cared extra about dinosaurs, not less than) we didn’t actually know what they had been for
|
| 2:37 |
: love slightly thriller
|
| 2:37 |
: Rickey already know what Rickey’s dash pace was. FAST. Rickey already know he quick.
|
| 2:37 |
: So right here’s the factor with Ramos out of your article, and I believe it brings up an fascinating basic query. Every time I see a man who has finished an method change, I fear that he’s merely “ambushing” pitchers, and people pitchers will ultimately regulate (see Ramos’ final two weeks). On the spectrum of “breakout/sustainability indicators” there are a bunch of stats I’d be extra snug with than a “I’m going to begin swinging at first pitches” sort change, which looks as if it’d vulnerable to turning right into a recreation of whack-a-mole
|
| 2:38 |
: Yeah…. I imply I believe that’s at all times value serious about
|
| 2:38 |
: I’d flip it on you, htough
|
| 2:38 |
: to me, what was happening is that pitchers had been ambushing Ramos
|
| 2:38 |
: flip in a curveball and get forward to use his swing and miss tendencies with out having to problem him within the zone to get forward
|
| 2:38 |
: b/c they only assumed he wouldn’t swing
|
| 2:39 |
: now he’s forcing them to pitch him straight up, with out the little cheat code tender curve
|
| 2:39 |
: now, he obtained plenty of these cheapie hits off of these, don’t get me incorrect
|
| 2:39 |
: I don’t suppose that half is sustainable, they’re not gonna maintain lobbing them in there
|
| 2:40 |
: however I believe he’s a reasonably good hitter when he’s getting pitched straight up. His type of hitter does quite a bit higher forward within the rely than behind, and groups had been preying on that early in his profession
|
| 2:40 |
: it’s not like he’s simply blindly hacking at first pitches
|
| 2:40 |
: he’s simply going up there pondering that if he sees one thing tender and excessive, he’s gonna take an enormous rip
|
| 2:41 |
: actually I believe that extra hitters ought to do one thing concerning the in-zone tender breaking ball for strike one development
|
| 2:41 |
: Ideas on James Wooden?
|
| 2:41 |
: I’m positive it’s been requested, however what’s your flooring/ceiling expectation for James Wooden this season and long-term?
|
| 2:42 |
: Oh man, plenty of James Wooden questions immediately, as there ought to be
|
| 2:42 |
: I’m very hyped
|
| 2:42 |
: I’m extraordinarily Crew Wooden, I obtained ridiculed for having him as my high prospect subsequent yr
|
| 2:43 |
: and possibly ridiculed is powerful, however plenty of derisive feedback
|
| 2:43 |
: I’m not an enormous flooring ceiling man
|
| 2:43 |
: however how about latter-day Joey Gallo flooring, Tyler O’Neill median, Aaron Decide ceiling
|
| 2:44 |
: I’m actually into it, and I believe that guys like Wooden are the sorts of prospects who flip into generational gamers
|
| 2:44 |
: not at all times, clearly
|
| 2:44 |
: The issue with turning Volpe into Bregman is that he tried that, it didn’t work. Folks underestimate how exhausting it’s to be a RH pull hitter in Yankee Stadium. Take a look at the ghost of Josh Donaldson for what it seems to be like if you promote out for pull energy and also you’re not Stanton/Decide sturdy.
|
| 2:45 |
: I disagree with that
|
| 2:45 |
: Yankee Stadium constantly has excessive HR park elements for righty hitters
|
| 2:46 |
: and that’s not some fluke of Decide taking part in there and on the highway, it holds true when he’s not taking part in, and many others.
|
| 2:47 |
: like… Donaldson left and went to Milwaukee and was nonetheless dangerous
|
| 2:47 |
: the factor that occurred to him is that he obtained outdated
|
| 2:47 |
: RE: Dinosaurs
|
| 2:47 |
: Scales or feathers?
|
| 2:47 |
: , scales in my head. Despite the fact that I do know they’re extra prone to be feathers
|
| 2:48 |
: you may’t erase my childhood view of issues
|
| 2:48 |
: With two positions conceivably up for grabs subsequent yr for the Mets (2nd and third) What do you do with all of those infield prospects in case you’re David Stearns (Mauricio, Baty, Vientos, Jett, Acuna, and many others)? Who’re you seeking to maintain and who’re you buying and selling for pitching?
|
| 2:48 |
: what I’d do is maintain all of them till not less than one establishes himself within the majors
|
| 2:48 |
: presumably two
|
| 2:49 |
: mainly I just like the implied optionality worth you get from having a bunch of fairly good prospects
|
| 2:49 |
: if they’d a single extremely elite dude I’d be extra involved in dealing from my surplus
|
| 2:49 |
: however I believe it is a power in numbers state of affairs
|
| 2:49 |
: It’s not prone to occur, however how enjoyable would a Dodgers Rays mega deal be? Dodgers get Paredes, Caballero, and Palacio, and Rays get Lux, Outman, Vargas, and a few mixture of catching and pitching prospects (Dashing, Cartaya, Wrobeleski, Damage, Frasso). Dodgers get long run assist at 3B and SS, the place they don’t actually have too many inside choices, and the Rays get future upgrades at positions they don’t actually have prospects for and get a pair gamers who’ve had current success that they’ll flip in the event that they begin to hit once more.
|
| 2:50 |
: This sounds very fascinating, and I offer you kudos for the commerce building. Everybody on either side is each very Dodgers-y and really Rays-y
|
| 2:51 |
: Um…. I imply for me it’d be very enjoyable
|
| 2:51 |
: I like MANY of those gamers
|
| 2:52 |
: I believe that the Dodgers most likely don’t want Palacios sufficient to make this deal occur, and my sense from speaking to folks throughout the business is that even now, groups are usually not bought on Paredes
|
| 2:52 |
: I’m gonna get much less pushback once I ship my record out this yr b/c I’m lastly not going to ship it out with Paredes within the high 50, haha
|
| 2:52 |
: though actually possibly I nonetheless ought to
|
| 2:53 |
: he simply continues to mash
|
| 2:53 |
: however mainly, I believe to make this commerce the Dodgers need to worth Paredes extra extremely than I believe they do
|
| 2:53 |
: Random thought on that Rays-Dodgers commerce, how a lot worse is Paredes within the bigger Dodger stadium? It looks as if his success relies on pulled XBHs that wouldn’t essentially work in an even bigger stadium
|
| 2:53 |
: rational cause to not commerce for him
|
| 2:53 |
: After a yr and a half of doing this, has Jarren Duran established himself as a MLB beginning OF, who presumably will get an All Star nod this yr? Older prospect who revamped his swing throughout covid and struggled with going up/right down to AAA afterwards, he’s been an enormous cause BOS remains to be hanging within the playoff image this yr.
|
| 2:54 |
: utterly established
|
| 2:54 |
: ZiPS is skeptical about him…. and thinks he’s a legit beginning outfielder with upside
|
| 2:55 |
: I may see him possibly getting an AS nod this yr, he’s been electrical
|
| 2:55 |
: What do you suppose is a good commerce for the Giants to get Coby Mayo?
|
| 2:55 |
: I dunno, this doesn’t sound like a factor that will occur
|
| 2:55 |
: the Giants are the precise type of workforce that don’t line up nicely with the O’s
|
| 2:55 |
: they’re like a model of Baltimore turned down 10%
|
| 2:55 |
: no large roster holes however not sufficient distinction makers
|
| 2:56 |
: just like the Giants’ finest commerce chips are Logan Webb and Patrick Bailey
|
| 2:56 |
: however they aren’t buying and selling these guys
|
| 2:57 |
: and I don’t suppose you may make a deal round Camilo Doval that is sensible
|
| 2:57 |
: so I simply don’t see a match right here
|
| 2:57 |
: Skubal for Jackson Holliday- Who says No?
|
| 2:57 |
: Sizzling take: the O’s say no, however they shouldn’t
|
| 2:58 |
: Holliday’s line within the minors in June is SO bizarre
|
| 2:58 |
: .444 OBP, .378 SLG
|
| 2:59 |
: wtf is happening right here, you realize?
|
| 2:59 |
: since coming again down he’s hitting .252/.425/.421, and I simply don’t suppose these stroll expertise are clearly gonna play
|
| 2:59 |
: within the majors
|
| 2:59 |
: 23% stroll charge, i imply….
|
| 2:59 |
: I dunno I’m nonetheless very optimistic
|
| 3:00 |
: however I don’t suppose he’s a surefire all star, and Skubal is true now
|
| 3:00 |
: I acknowledge that this places me in an odd spot as an evaluator
|
| 3:00 |
: In case you’re counting anticipated WAR, even in case you do some non-linear formed stuff to make avearge gamers much less invaluable and stars higher, Holliday simply tops Skubal
|
| 3:00 |
: however I simply don’t suppose it performs that method in actual life
|
| 3:00 |
: It’s gotta be feathers proper? Jurassic Park, whereas being one of many essentially the most entertaining films ever, has pushed the scaled agenda for years. Do your *RESEARCH* folks.
|
| 3:01 |
: Look, it’s nearly definitely feathers. Simply, scales appeared so cool in all my children’ books
|
| 3:01 |
: that mentioned, my theoretical future baby can be getting the proper modern-day data from me in order that htey don’t develop up dwelling a lie like I did
|
| 3:01 |
: Let’s say Spencer Torkelson comes again up after the all star break and mainly reproduces his second half from final yr (120ish WRC+, 25ish HRs). What would you do with him?
|
| 3:01 |
: I’d give him one other shot however with a extremely quick leash
|
| 3:01 |
: er, nicely, no, 25 bombs after the ASB is wild
|
| 3:02 |
: he had 19 final yr it seems to be like
|
| 3:02 |
: I’m…. I’m fairly out on Tork to be trustworthy
|
| 3:03 |
: I believed Dan’s article about him was excellent
|
| 3:03 |
: When a pitcher adjustments their supply and to a lessor extent when a hitter adjustments his swing it surprises me they’re as profitable as they’re. Isn’t a big a part of why they’re profitable that they’ve observe the pitch/swing a whole bunch of hundreds of occasions? It not like you may simply inform a world class athlete (from one other sport) how you can swing a bat and count on them to be aggressive on the MLB stage.
|
| 3:04 |
: I’ve considered this quite a bit
|
| 3:04 |
: and I believe that the important thing right here is that MOST of the issues they’re doing with the brand new supply or swing are the identical
|
| 3:04 |
: and that the truth is, the most effective coaches do a extremely good job of maintaining the essential components constant
|
| 3:06 |
: so like…. possibly you alter your arm slot barely however the swing and the followthrough really feel so comparable that it’s advantageous
|
| 3:06 |
: I believe that elite athletes are good at repeating motions for positive, however they’re additionally adaptable inside these motions
|
| 3:06 |
: If you got an opportunity to begin a brand new enlargement workforce what sort of talent would you base your workforce round to attempt to achieve edge?
|
| 3:07 |
: I believe I’d a)spend numerous time hiring developmenet workers
|
| 3:07 |
: and b) I’m me, so I’d be looking out for the subsequent technology of both Paredes/Schneider varieties or Betts/JRam varieties
|
| 3:08 |
: like clearly everyone seems to be. however as an enlargement workforce I’d attempt to spend extra of my sources than regular on these guys
|
| 3:08 |
: I believe that from a useful resource expenditure to attainable massive league return perspective, there’s some juice there
|
| 3:08 |
: I had an expertise in golf with one in every of my finest juniors. He was recruited closely and went to a high school golf program. Instantly the coach despatched him to a brand new coach and very quickly couldn’t break 80. True idiocy!
|
| 3:08 |
: feels like the brand new coach wasn’t the correct one
|
| 3:08 |
: Probabilities that Strider, Acuna, Olsen all had their profession finest seasons final yr? 80%? 90%? Hurts that Atlanta didn’t capitalize
|
| 3:08 |
: blah, I used to be trying into Strider’s long-term projections earlier immediately
|
| 3:09 |
: I believe that Olson and Acuna having their finest years are fairly probably
|
| 3:09 |
: simply b/c these had been AMAZING years
|
| 3:09 |
: I’m much less bought on Strider
|
| 3:09 |
: the factor is, if he comes again wholesome, I believe he may simply be ’23 Strider
|
| 3:10 |
: so I’m gonna say in mixture, 50%?
|
| 3:10 |
: like possibly a kind of different two spikes a season
|
| 3:10 |
: however Strider nonetheless initiatives as unbelievable when wholesome
|
| 3:10 |
: I believe he may spike a wholesome good season fairly simply
|
| 3:10 |
: “I believe that Olson and Acuna having their finest years are fairly probably
“ simply b/c these had been AMAZING years.” I do not forget that folks mentioned this about 2017 Decide |
| 3:11 |
: that’s why I mentioned ‘fairly probably’ as an alternative of 0%
|
| 3:11 |
: I’m only a hedger at coronary heart
|
| 3:11 |
: How nicely do you suppose an enlargement workforce run by all the present FanGraphs workers would fare? My intestine tells me the reply could be not less than “fairly nicely”, and possibly higher!
|
| 3:11 |
: Haha, I’m not very modest, so I’d say we’ll do nicely
|
| 3:11 |
: we’d* do nicely
|
| 3:11 |
: that mentioned, I do like the massive dispersal of skills we now have. Now we have modelers, scouts, mechanics-type folks
|
| 3:12 |
: I suppose we now have me? I’m undecided what class I slot in
|
| 3:12 |
: Appelman is an excellent general determination maker, so is Meg, I believe they’d do a very good job on the high of the org
|
| 3:12 |
: One factor I actually recognize about FanGraphs, and also you, is the development of “course of over outcomes”. How usually do you’ll want to see dangerous outcomes earlier than you concentrate on course of change?
|
| 3:12 |
: on this matter!
|
| 3:13 |
: I’m cognizant that I lean an excessive amount of on course of at occasions. I believe that the most effective you are able to do is admittedly concentrate on updating your priors. A factor that I attempt to do once I’m doing extra long-term evaluations of gamers, notably for the commerce worth sequence, is to individually do evaluations of individuals based mostly on what I believe proper now
|
| 3:13 |
: and take a look at my outdated evals and ZiPS’s evals later
|
| 3:14 |
: then type of hone in on the place there are massive variations and check out to determine whether or not I’m simply being weirdly biased
|
| 3:14 |
: I suppose I’d say that this goes two methods
|
| 3:14 |
: on a participant stage, I’m keen to maneuver extra shortly
|
| 3:14 |
: b/c you’re getting all this new information
|
| 3:14 |
: however on a workforce building stage, I’m extra involved in my prior views, b/c there simply aren’t THAT many observations
|
| 3:14 |
: I don’t suppose the FanGraphs workforce is sort of large enough to run a baseball workforce. If youre only one/4 of the workers are you actually working the workforce and in case you’re spending your time company managing as an alternative of scouting, modeling and many others you’re solely tapping a portion of your expertise.
|
| 3:14 |
: Oh yeah we’d rent massively
|
| 3:15 |
: nowhere close to large enough
|
| 3:15 |
: and sure, one factor that’s actually difficult is making an attempt to determine whether or not individuals are higher as particular person contributors or managers
|
| 3:15 |
: my spouse is a extremely good supervisor, imo, and off the clock we spend a ton of time speaking about that
|
| 3:15 |
: I’m a person contributor at coronary heart, so I believe I may not be an important match on this theoretical workforce
|
| 3:16 |
: I believe the one factor that may maintain us again is that we now have a couple of too many IC’s
|
| 3:16 |
: Oh the questioning of how high flight athletes can change mechanics and nonetheless keep good: you principally nailed it. The probabilities are often small within the precise course of that they’ll sustain, even when it seems to be like an enormous change to the layman’s eye. The expertise these dudes have additionally helps them keep good, as a result of on the finish of the day they’re nonetheless swinging a bat exhausting or throwing a ball exhausting.
I believe that individuals could be shocked at how nicely athletes from different sports activities would pickup baseball, by the way in which. It might be tough at first, however in case you give somebody like DK Metcalf or Steph Curry (two random athletes off the highest of my head) a problem of “turn into a significant leaguer” after which give him on a regular basis and coaching to concentrate on that, he’d pull it off. |
| 3:16 |
: Thanks, web stranger, however yeah, I’m with you
|
| 3:16 |
: nice athletes are simply ludicrous
|
| 3:17 |
: Gunnar Henderson AL MVP 100% 75% 50% 25% 0%?
|
| 3:17 |
: Properly, 50% is increased than the ceiling of the place I may put this, proper off the highest
|
| 3:17 |
: I’m not gonna have him forward of Decide, and there are different gamers
|
| 3:17 |
: I believe I’ve him round 25%
|
| 3:17 |
: There’s been some discuss of the Pirates including 1-2 bats and making an attempt to make a run on the WC. Does that sound real looking to you, or is their offense too putrid for it to make a distinction?
|
| 3:18 |
: you realize, that was my snap response however I’m gonna give it barely extra thought
|
| 3:19 |
: okay, I’m gonna replace it to I believe that they need to wait till the top of the month and see the place issues are
|
| 3:19 |
: like in the event that they’re nonetheless 3 video games out of the WC, and one of many groups forward of them falls behind htem
|
| 3:20 |
: I believe they possibly can? the factor they’ve going for them is that a few of their offensive underperformance is from gamers I believe are good who simply haven’t been good to this point
|
| 3:20 |
: there’s a distinction between that and like, okay 7 of the 9 place guys are filler
|
| 3:21 |
: they undoubtedly want extra offense. however not less than a few of that may come from Cruz persevering with to develop, Hayes being simply okay as an alternative of dangerous, that kinda factor
|
| 3:21 |
: that mentioned, I’d not be including now
|
| 3:21 |
: give your self a month to see if a few of these adjustments are literally taking place earlier than deciding
|
| 3:22 |
: what are your ideas on how efficient correctly might be at taking part in shortstop protection? I really feel like he’s been fairly strong to this point however I believe he got here up extra as a 2b
|
| 3:22 |
: my ideas are that I’ve no clue, however that the Giants want to seek out out
|
| 3:22 |
: alright, on that word, I had a good time chatting with you all immediately however I’ve to go get transferring on lunch
|
| 3:23 |
: the man who asks the lunch query, I didn’t see you immediately, however scrumptious bread from a neighborhood place with herbed goat cheese
|
| 3:23 |
: and possibly a salad after
|
| 3:23 |
: have an important vacation week, everybody
