this sandy guy is good. they should consider keeping him for his entire career.

I mean I'd sign Eder back and put him in the minors working exclusively as a power reliever.

That’d require forward thinking vision.

Absolutely.

The dude jumped straight to AA after being drafted, and was fucking lights out. There was reason to be excited.

not trying to diminish that year but yes, while that was his first actual minor league action, that's only because they cancelled the minor league season that covid year. He signed right after the draft and pitched in unofficial minor league games from July of that year right after the draft until he made that AA debut a month into the 2021 season. But ya he was impressive and the TJ derailed his career.

his dominance lasted 70 innings over 15 starts in 1 year. Lee just loved a small sample size. He was dominant that year though.

Guy was dominant, got injured and was never the same. Another victim of the Marlins Pitching Injury Epidemic.

I actually like Graham pauley's potential, but him being in the big leagues is likely doing him a disservice, as brief as it may be. He is probably our best 3b prospect in a while though outside of Anderson. His numbers his first two years in the minors were really impressive, the padres just rushed him from A+ to AAA with just 81 ab's in AA in the middle to end 2023. He could really benefit from some more minor league time but he is a potential piece. One of few.

[Nick]

Graham Pauley is indeed starting. No Wagyu Man.

[Namaste]

Happy that baseball is back and happy to spend time with family at the ballpark today. Fully expecting loss #1 of 100 today obviously.

[rmc523]

That number may be before adding the 21 players making the minimum. So it’s more like around $40 million, but still ridiculous.

Yeah it’s pretty pathetic

[fish16]

Because the "veteran" talent you are so hung up on either weren't very good or had massive injury issues.

They were productive major league players. I also wouldn’t say jazz had “massive injury issues”. He got hurt in very dumb and reckless ways
