khris davis, he who has hit more hr than anyone since the start of 2016, has the weakest arm i've ever seen. i honestly think i could throw further/harder than him.

Alonso sucks though.

undetermined. he looked great in the first half due to his better launch angle, but has reverted to terrible. not sure if that's because his swing's changed or what. talent is definitely there, though. and given the mariners are terrible at developing/coddling hitters into their best, i'm not hopeful.

good dude, though

i'm not sure what astroturf is made of, but it seems like you'd burn off any skin that makes contact with it diving for a ball like that

what was the appeal of astroturf? like why even have it? does maintaining a field cost that much?

I think I've already resigned myself to Bryce Harper, future Yankee.

i think it's highly unlikely given the rise of judge

harper strikes me as staying put or as a dodger somehow or marlin depending on who they sell to. only so many teams can afford him

maybe the red sox? not sure how their finances are at this point.

cubs will definitely submit a bid but i just don't see how

Votto owns. I went to watch the highlight and literally the first 4 options are all Votto vids. I thought you were just meaning they had an infielder deep between 1st and 2nd in a shift, but no, they had 4 legit outfielders out there.




makes sense. q gives up 57% ld%+fb%, and votto has 61% ld%+fb%

altuve has the best shot as of now. if acuna is for real and produces at his highest level, maybe

we're still talking a < 1% chance for either of them at their peak

also note fields are way smaller and defenses are way better nowadays
