Shadow gamer posted:Does anyone know how long an fractured orbital takes to heal? I want to see a AJ start before I head back home for the summer. Probably something like a month to fully heal and then I'd guess a month for rehab. That's a longer than rehab normally is but remember he's just missed out on ST so he'll be playing catchup.

jeffersonlives posted:Bundy isn't the best prep righty ever or anything, but he might be the most advanced. He could hit the majors really fast if things break properly. He will tear up MiLB, pitch pretty okay for the Orioles and then become their next sacrifice to the elder gods

monkeyspank posted:I sat with the bleacher creatures during the Yankees-Red Sox 15 inning game a couple of years ago. It was fun for a while then it just got annoying. They all know each other so it's one big dysfunctional and homophobic family reunion that you are crashing. The roll call was cool though. Bald Vinny quit basically because the Yankees wouldn't subsidize his terrible t-shirt business, no idea how that will affect their obnoxiousness going forward.

stuart scott irl posted:So are the Royals trying to be the Rays but with crappy players I think Moore is taking Wall St bets on players, if that makes sense. Alcides Escobar has a swing that scouts really like and as you can see from his walk and k rates he makes a fuckton of contact. This is a bet that he will start making better contact because of the swing.

Posey did not have the Harper hype. Honestly neither did Strasburg. Harper is a tremendous prospect but the reason for the extreme level of hype is Tom Verducci writing an SI cover article about him when he was 16ish that basically presented him like the best prospect ever.

peepoogenderparts posted:I have to disagree with you about Strasburg. He was heavily hyped. I remember ESPN doing highlights of his minor league games. Of course, ESPN are whores, but still. That's not the same as writing a cover story in SI implying a 16 year old was/is a better prospect than Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr, Barry Bonds, etc. By the time Strasburg hit MiLB it was very clear that he was something extremely special.

DannoMack posted:Sid Crosby was hyped as the next Gretzky since he was a young teenager, but I cant think of anyone younger than that outside of soccer players. Alex Rodriguez was pretty much identified as a guy who was going to be a great ball player when he was 13ish. He was a big deal but hype around looking for the next so-and-so wasn't so prevalent then. e: I think Chipper was also identified as a mega-amazing prospect going into the draft but people were all about Todd Van Poppel at the time e2: Thinking about it, most of the HUGE HYPE going into the draft guys I can think of are pitchers

tadashi posted:I don't remember Strasburg getting the "generational" label until much later, either. With Harper, it's been that way for a while. I don't want to say it came out of nowhere because you have to have talent to play for SDSU but he didn't really develop his ~killer stuff~ until Sophomore year. I think it's harder to argue with pitcher hype because when you see a curveball like the one Strasburg has with the command he's got what can you say? Guys like Gerrit Cole are a bit murkier because they don't have the same handle on their stuff.

Crazy Ted posted:ESPN the Magazine kind of does this. They were the ones who called LeBron James "The One" on a magazine cover at the start of his junior year in high school. Just like the dumb NEXT stuff I think this is because they've found that paying attention to superstars gives them more money during SportsCenter/etc so creating superstars in advance like that is in their best interest.

Adam Warren is not a starter in MLB unless his slider magically improves. He will be a good reliever because he has a good fastball and great fastball command but that won't cut it going through an order three times.

If Washington wasn't having a dumb dispute with their A+ team about field conditions we probably wouldn't be scrutinizing this, to be honest. For what it's worth scouty types think he needs some more MiLB time because he hasn't quite adjusted to breaking pitches yet. I think that's a feature of the Nationals skipping A+ since that's where batters start to encounter pitchers with good secondary offerings consistently.

Orgophlax posted:Since American teams have to pay out the rear end to foreign clubs just for the chance to negotiate with one of their players, does it work the same way if an American player wants to go to Japan? If a player is under contract or team control the Japanese team will purchase their rights.
