Things I stand firm in: 3-0 Green Light, running Power on 3rd/short, and the Fullback is the highest form of human evolution.

@ByMMonreal I would do this trade in a heartbeat. If this is Willy Adames at 30, paying him $31 mil a year for the next 5 years is a disaster

@KO_Crowley Hard to really say there's a rock bottom when we know this season's already lost. There's enough juice here to say the games are entertaining at least.

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

@BaseballJeff1 It would have to be a creative move but I think Seattle makes the most sense since they're loaded with pitching. They also have a contract they'd love to unload in Luis Castillo. Castillo and a pitching prospect for Chapman?

@DigsPitcher This + international draft age at 18= MLB wants to outsource all development and cut back on minor league expenses

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

@Sanjit__T TE might be the hardest position to play in NFL physically/mentally (besides QB). Have to line up all over the formation, have to understand coverages, have to understand blocking assignments both in pass/run game. + physical demands of in line blocking at a weight disadvantage

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

@BaseballJeff1 Think he might be a good option to piggyback with another starter like Wisenhunt to give a different look and save the bullpen

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

@BaseballJeff1 I actually think there is a purposeful push from Posey/winn to play winning baseball in the giants minor league system as opposed to the typical individualistic nature of minor league baseball

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

@matthewk36711 I want to know if Jonah Cox and Scott Bandura are legit prospects or are they just having a hot start

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

@KNBR @knbrmurph @MarkusBoucher One of the unique quirks about baseball is the different dimensions of each field. The answer is to build a team that fits your home stadium and it becomes a huge home field advantage

@MHolder95 @austincjboyd I don't understand Smith's point. For one, Jeanty didn't win the heisman. And even if he did, drafting a heisman has historically been a great move.

@BaseballJeff1 Giants are going to be so good in 2030

@SFGProspects That sinker/2 seam explodes on lefties hands

The next step is making sure the org-wide philosophy travels with players from the minors to the majors and that the MLB coaches implement that philosophy instead of their own.

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

That means the Devers/Adames coaching plan should be a contact plan: shorter swings, better zone discipline, fewer chases. Not "be yourself." Specifically: get the swing under control, then let the power play within that framework.

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

None of this is a knock on Vitello or Posey. Vitello is a culture and energy hire who's still in his first MLB season. Posey is rebuilding a front office. These are normal growing pains for a new regime.

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

For the Giants, the personnel suggests contact-and-decisions is the right lane:

-Posey himself was that kind of hitter
-Mense teaches it
-The system has impact hitters in Eldridge, Schmitt, Harber, Davidson, Jordan, Gonzalez, Hernandez, Level
-Oracle Park rewards this approach

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

This is where I think the path forward is actually clear: pick the lane and build the org around it.
The Astros, Dodgers, Brewers, and Orioles all have ONE philosophy that runs from rookie ball to the majors. Same vocabulary. Same data. Same swing decisions taught everywhere.

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

Then the roster: Devers, Adames, Chapman are power-first hitters with three completely different swings (launch angles of varying degrees, swing lengths, K profiles). Each one needs a tailored fix, not a team-wide one.

[Chris Romeo @RomeoFitSystems]

Vitello at Tennessee built around pitch aggression, max exit velo, damage tolerance. Also a real philosophy, also one that wins. His Vols hit a lot of bombs and pursued damage.
