I could find out, I've got a great connection. A friend of mine, the brother of my closest friend is blowers brother in law, he's also his lawyer. I met blowers at the wedding. I sat in the wives and family section in 1995 using blowers seats. I guess I wasn't full disclosure about my feelings abou...

Wasn't a fan of Blowers in the booth. I found him a little patronising. He had this annoying way of calling each play as if he had an all-encompasing knowledge of what just happened he knew it in advance. Worse than we do on Game Threads :D That being said, the article says he has been doing the jo...

Not surprised to see Blowers gone but sad he is - I liked listening to him. He seemed to be battling a variety of health issues sadly so again - not surprised to see him step away - probably felt like if he couldn't guarantee the whole year than he shouldn't do it. We'll see how RRS and Buhner/Vall...

Not to question Cal's greatness but I don't understand how they can compute war for earlier players when they don't have the information. Particularly a position like catcher that's so defense oriented. There should be an explanation I guess at fangraphs or whatever I used AI to get those numbers. ...

What he has done for the first four years of his career is nothing short of remarkable. In fact it's so remarkable that there's only 3 other catchers in baseball history that have started better than he has. (He's tied with Carlton Fisk for 4th) Based on fWAR over their first four seasons, here are ...

I really don't see Arraez as that valuable a leadoff hitter. He's slow, doesn't steal bases, doesn't walk. And actually a single with nobody on base isn't that valuable. He's really got one outstanding tool, an ability to put the ball in play. I think that could work better as a two hitter than lea...

What's up with bpj suddenly promoting a slap hitter anyway. I'm smelling a rat. Think you should check the credentials of that profile. I never had a problem with Ichiro if he would have played 2B or CF. If Arraez has to be a 1B, he wouldn't be worth going after because you could easily find a 1B w...

See he had been getting played at first base in previous seasons, Minnesota played him there 2022, he put up 4 WAR. Wondering if his bat actually played better in Minnesota. How well would his bat play at TMobile He's essentially a bat-first 2B that gets hits and doesn't K. Exactly what we need. He...

My issue is the defense, ichiro wàs a light hitter but he also had a heck of a glove. I've seen Arraez referred to as the worst second baseman in baseball. I don't know enough about him to have an opinion but it concerns me. I'd rather go with a heavy hitter with questionable defense than a light h...
