Riggo#44 Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Only way they take Jenkins is if he signs for way below slot and they use that money elsewhere...or if one of the Big 3 keels over from a fatal heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s just doing due diligence really. But…if I squint hard enough, they could be comparing him to Crews and Langford if Skenes goes one. It’d be nice to have the #2 make a near immediate MLB impact. But I guess you want to make sure that this high school prospect doesn’t have a higher ceiling than the college bats. From what I’ve read, I wouldn’t do it. But I wouldn’t be shocked if 10 years from now he’s a better pro. He ain’t signing for below slot. He has more leverage than the college guys.

Ball Security Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Good stuff on the farm today. Bennett struck out 9 in four innings. He’ll be up In Wilmington soon. Wood got on base three times. Hassell got on base three times. De la Rosa went 2-4* Green and House got the day off. De la Rosa had a frigid start to the season. A .538 OPS for April. Brrrr. In May however, he has a .947 OPS. Can’t decide if I like him or Lile more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 Ruiz had some **** luck today, he scorched 2 or 3 hard hit balls right at people. I am more concerned about Abrams K rate--hes turning into Elijah Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 Losing 4 in a row sucks, but it's good to see Abrams and Ruiz break out of slumps. Ruiz blasted a homer, Abrams has a hard-hit double, and just missed a homer. The flashes are there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not $25M good, but I believe this is his seventh straight start giving up three earned runs or less. His markr will be something to watch this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was an injury to Ruiz or Adams, I could see him getting called up. BTW Ruiz needs to get a day off from time to time. His pace of games caught has got to be one of the highest in the league.

Last year Corbin’s ERA+ was 61, Josiah Gray was 77. This year it is 93 and 152, respectively. Last year, Anibal Sanchez had the best ERA+ at 90. Four starters this season are 93+. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 It kills me to think what this rotation would look like with Cavalli... Corbin could be a legitimate trade piece at the deadline. Whoudda thunk?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that normalizes to even his number (.271) last year he has a very solid .275/.350/.410 kind of line. His already absurd K rate is down 4 percentage points from last year, currently at 7.5% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His already absurd K rate is down 4 percentage points from last year, currently at 7.5% I’m not worried about Ruiz’s production. He’s hit into some bad luck. I just don’t want him getting run down. Sitting him today with an off day on Monday is a good move. He’s been playing a ton. Though he basically got two days off with the off day on Thursday and the rain out on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 As we saw with Stras' TOS, it's all about how his body feels from start to start. Cole Henry with another good one. Did notice in his first start that he was only hitting low 90s. Thought he was a mid to high 90s guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the more I read about, I’ve learned that they are optimistic because younger arms with less mileage on them have more ability to recover from this procedure. Here’s hoping he can take the ball again in five days. It’d be really cool if he could make his MLB debut later this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
