Fateen will be amazing if he develops. The problem is it sometimes seems like ootp is giving these guys unrealistic ceilings. Even a bit lower, however, should make for a great player.

He and Rainer give me the power potential you were looking for at 1B.

Marrero looks like a safe bet to be a good starter. Can’t link to the other two starters

Platoon splits are notoriously susceptible to small sample sizes. I wouldn’t be concerned about Sanchez handling LHP. His ratings indicate it’s just small sample noise.

I don’t understand the shade thrown at Nashville for DH. Sanchez can rake.

*longtime sabermetrics guy

That's a killer nickname.

Looks like Kit and Daniel did exactly what you'd hoped. Should be interesting to see how that impacts on your 2064 roster makeup. If by “what you hoped” you mean prove me right that they’d disappoint then yes, they surely did. Kit hit over .300 and had 1.6 WAR. should merit consideration as a 4/5 t...

Assuming one of these guys fills out their potential, is your plan to get power from another position or try a more @shoeless.db style strategy? My ballpark has a reputation as a bandbox that is earned but it boosts BABIP way more than it boosts power so I’ve moved my focus more to batting average ...

Most random part of baseball.

:link: Contract looks good on first blush. Likely a one year, $6.3M contract. That should look like a steal if my expectations for FA starting pitching prices pans out. Would be cool to see him get to 200 wins. That's a big friggin deal for a guy who I've always thought of as an underachiever. edit:...

All those walks don’t align with Neill’s 6 control. Although his league average FIP in AAA gives me pause. I’m still optimistic about him but he’s not a slam dunk.

You talk about your bad farm system but then here comes Sanchez and Warner ready to take on full roles.

“But part of building a perennial second place team” lmao

Calling Gray a terrible defender with 9 range is a bit dramatic. Still solid.

Moorhouse had a helluva season in AA. He appears ready to go.

He’s probably a first baseman and we have OBP problems thanks to us treating walks the way my three year old treats new foods. He’ll need an injury or two to get into the mix but he at least deserves a promotion to AAA.

For better or worse

At least they were competitive. Can’t say the same about Chapa and Richard’s.

He hits enough to play corner outfield too.

You were playing with house money so why not. Hell, you shoulda signed half a dozen more Wymans that Nashville and Charm City gobbled up instead.

Antunez might yet make some noise in Long Beach.
