@MichaelGP24@CamCox12@12SportsAZ It’s impossible to not get busts every year in baseball, there’s 20 rounds for a reason. Have you even looked at the 2022 Druw Jones draft? Wasn’t exactly teeming with elite talent. Besides that, even though he’s not an elite talent I still believe he can be a future contributor
@jashep04@JomboyMedia What are you talking about? Rocchio’s errant throw was away well before Tawa reached the bag. Tawa also slid right into the bag and couldn’t have been more inside the base path if he tried. Rocchio had an issue with the bunt attempt, same with Odor
@YokoOnos@RedditCFB 200ish countries on the planet and only 8 have ever won a World Cup, not sure you can say the talent disparity is bigger in CFB even though there is a pretty big one in both
@citrinecalico@BMaster30 It wouldn’t really be Groover replacing Pavin at first though, even if Pavin got hurt again or released most of the everyday 1B duties would just go back to Vargas
@SLover735367@BMaster30 Pavin Smith has 62 ABs this year, and Groover has 46. No need to compare with Reno stats when the sample size is roughly the same. They’ve both sucked it doesn’t really matter which way you cut it unfortunately, doesn’t mean either one couldn’t break out soon though
@bje0001@Dbacks You’re right, we don’t celebrate fake holidays. Juneteenth is and has been a federal holiday for 5 years now since being unanimously approved in 2021 by the senate and then passing the house in a 415-14 vote. Happy Juneteenth!
@piratesfan1111@SleeperPirates Guys that get drafted out of high school go play rookie ball against other guys who also got drafted in high school or against international free agent guys that “graduated” and finally came to the states. It’s really the same situation either way, but one way is cheaper for MLB
@austinhb1993@dren_braves Of their 7 top 100 prospects, the dodgers only drafted 2 of them (technically 3 but they let Sirota go before getting him back again in a trade). The dodgers prospect list has more to do with their embarrassment of riches than anything else
@Solid_Duff@ClydeTheGlide28 With Lawlar back he’s gonna get most of the playing time in CF, Barrosa is just gonna be a utility OF type guy that you can sit on the bench 3-4 days in a row and it doesn’t matter. Waldy is a guy you want to play every day and it isn’t Barrosa that’s taking his PT, it’s Lawlar
@Alexjuarez2310@Gambo987 I mean anyone can change the foundation of the conversation to different stats as soon as the stats we’re talking about don’t support your side. As I already said, the slug will come and go but at least he’ll be on the base paths. Lastly just for fun, Pavin GW run NLCS game 3!
@Alexjuarez2310@Gambo987 You’re more than welcome to check the numbers. Average difference between batting average and OBP is around .070. In his worst year 2023 Pavin Smith had an OBP of .317 despite batting .188, a .129 difference or almost double the league average
