Season Super Game Thread

[Lee Stone]

I noticed Galloway's improvement last season and his success in the spring - and pointed it out. He certainly hasn't panned out for New Orleans thus far. He hasn't been all that much better than prospects Mags Sierra and Braxton Lee. But in fairness to me, he would have done far better than Lewis Brinson thus far (admittedly a very low bar).

Mets just lost Lagares for the year. Man I wish they had better prospects because we could probably steal them

Galloway hasn't panned out in 8 years. He can't hit and looked good LY against lesser guys.

Its like guys jumping on Tomas Telis bandwagon. He is a AAAA player at best. In fairness to u?? Galloway AB's would make Brinson look like an All Star.

Thank God you're being fair to yourself. Also, this statement is based on nothing. Brinson has been completely terrible with the bat, but Galloway has been completely terrible with the bat at AAA. Even a conservative guesstimate would put Galloway at an OPS .100 points less than his AAA OPS at the majors which puts him right where Brinson is, and Brinson is a superior outfielder. So yeah, not buying far better.

You are right about Galloway's undistinguished career, but Justin Bour put it together relatively late in his baseball life. I love the grinders who keep chasing the dream.

This is still my favorite Marlins pick over past few years

Guy could hit and was an On Base Machine. Too bad he got hurt 4 times a year

He is a baseball player. Just one that can't hit. If he had Brent Keys ability to hit Galloway would have been a ML player years ago

Someone has to be fair to each of us ... and Isaac Galloway too. In the stench of his poor hitting, Galloway's career fielding percentage is better than Brinson's - .984 to .972. Brinson rates the edge on range factor - 2.31 to 2.25. Galloway has swiped 9 bases to Brinson's 1 this season. The fact that the two can even be compared reflects badly on top prospect Brinson.

It's been a disastrous start for Brinson. No doubt, but he also has a track record of success at the minor league level that suggests he's a better player than what we've seen from him so far. Does that success at the minor league level guarantee his success at the majors? No, but way too early to write him off.

Don't know ... I'm feeling the Byron Buxton Blues on Lewis, except even bluer. I'm feeling that way about Mags Sierra too. Could Miami have asked for Tyler O'Neill instead? He was just called up by the Cards from AAA Memphis. 13 HR, 31 RBI, and a .319 average.

Byron buxton is a star player...

[gustavopim]

Do you think Mike Cameron was a good baseball player? He hit .249 and basically ht 25 HR on average.

Is he good?

But you can easily aggregate major scouting sources and realize Alcantara is a top 100 prospect in all of them and Ben Meyer not in any of them

I never debate prospects. I'm really not interested in them. We don't know if they are going to make it or not.... but scouts are wrong in many cases. Like how is Kolek rated our prospect N27? Trevor Richards hasn't pitched in any level and is our prospect 5?

Doesn't make any sense to me

[Nick]

Byron buxton is a star player...

pft...he only finished 18th in the MVP voting last year, at 23 years old.

On Cameron, great example. Everyone knew that strikeouts held him back; he whiffed 1901 times in his career. However, he managed to offset that somewhat by drawing 867 walks. His strikeout to walk ratio was therefore just 2.2/1. That's more than TWICE as good as Harrison and Brinson.

Dee Gordon's strikeout frequency is far less than half that of Brinson/Harrison.

Lou, it's not a generalization. I don't think you could find a single exception. A generalization is that a 21-year-old will be a better player/pitcher at 23 than he is now. For that one, there are endless exceptions.

This is the standard you set - Try to find a single decent ML hitter who ever put up a 4/1 K/W ratio at any level of the minors or the majors


So now you say it's not a generalization and I can't find a single exception.

JUST 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jonathan Schoop - 3.8 WAR - 5.2% BB / 21% K
Tim Beckahm - 3.4 WAR - 6.3% BB / 29% K
Odubel Herrera - 2.9 WAR - 5.5% BB / 22.4% K
Corey Dickerson - 2.6 WAR - 5.6% BB / 24.2% K
Javier Baez - 2.3 WAR - 5.9% BB / 28.3% K
Adam Duvall - 1.7 WAR - 6% BB / 26.3% K
Trey Mancini - 1.7 WAR - 5.6% BB / 23.7% K
Adam Jones - 1.7 WAR - 4.3% BB / 17.8% K

If you want to throw out the 3 dudes under 2 WAR - go for it, but I think that qualifies as a decent player.

Looking forward to hearing how Jonathan Schoop fucking sucks.

In hindsight, for comedic effect I should have only posted the 4 Orioles and followed up with more. My bad.

Also, I only looked at top 75 guys qualified batters strikeout rate. Analysis ignored the other 500 guys who played last year*

[Erick]

The Marlins should hire Lee Stone as a scout.

[Nick]

Anderson might not ever go back to 3rd base. What a play in RF.

[Namaste]

Rooting hard for the guy but terrible AB by Brinson.

3-0 count and they clearly as ok walking him to get to the pitcher and he grounds out. Brutal.
