love rowdy

glad he's settling in now

[Schad]

Hey why not let's play 17.

[Black Watch]

HOE-LEE!

Not enough is made of the bright nail paint that a lot of catchers, Sandy Leon included, wear to make their signs more visible. Nothing works better with a giant thick beard than saucy orange nails.

I used white-out or handful of chalk.

I used tape. That was partially to improve the visibility of signs, and mostly because it reduced the number of events where I ended up bloodying my fingers for no real reason. Arguably I should tape my fingers at all times.

Also, Rowdy Tellez would've made the ideal Samwell Tarly stunt double.

[Brinbe]

well, sht

[Black Watch]

I never did like Galvis...

Sogard falling back to earth.

I like Rowdy's homers as much as the next guy, but his K rate is downright alarming. I'd sacrifice some power for lower Ks/more OBP.

Good to see Jansen and Guerrero swinging it recently.

Rowdy reminds me of an older version of David Ortiz, same swing and posture

Sogard's reversion has hit hard: he's now 5 for his last 42, with only 1 XBH. Sadly, he may not be our franchise player.

There was a time when I thought they would use his strong start to delay Bo Bichette''s ascension - that was prior to Bo's injury. According to reports, Bo ought to be back in the BUF lineup shortly, so this is a timely regression. The sea shall part...

I'm excited to see whose pitching when we trade Stro

Shulman tweeting that the Jays are bringing up Gurriel and Biggio by tomorrow.

[Ado05]

Mckinney and Urena down.

Happ deal not looking hot right now, although Drury is heating up.

Interesting move. Urena is essentially a yo-yo. Statistically it looks like Biggio has started to even out his k/bb rate compared to New Hampshire. Gurriel has been getting reps in left, i think.

[Schad]

Urena just doesn't do enough well to be a significant prospect, unfortunately. He strikes out too much, he walks too little, and he isn't a plus defender.

Biggio should be worth a watch. He's really polarizing with prospect watchers...I've seen suggestions that he could be an average 2B, and suggestions that he simply doesn't have the range to play the position at all, suggestions that he is good value for the power he has demonstrated against some that he lacks the batspeed to be an above-average hitter at the major league level.
