Why are you yelling in the title?

@Michael So Ng didn’t end up pulling a brad Pitt or acquiring a bat either. Just a 25 year old with half a season of double A experience Who doesn’t strike anyone out lol

Paul Campbell is going to shock the world

That name though. 

Minor League Phase

Marlins select Jake Fishman from Toronto Farm System

Ok this pick is a little more intriguing! Lefty with decent strikeout numbers, doesn’t walk dudes or give up many home runs.

And with no 2020 season, who knows what he did to progress.

Rays farmhand though so I trust the pick.

There is rarely a pick in the Rule V draft that looks great on the day it happens. Some just end up being great picks in the end. A team would protect a guy if he was a sure thing normally after all.

45.5% K rate in 2019 🤢 🤮 

Which is fine if he was pitching but ...

Yeah I agree to some degree, but the Campbell one doesn’t really makes sense to me on paper. But obviously the dudes in the front office who know more than me and have actually seen the guy must know something that intrigues them.

They tried to get him before the Rays set him off of the roster and left him open for a Rule 5 pick. Could have gotten a lower level prospect for him and the Rays said "nah," and now we got him for free (or $100K I think, whatever Rule 5 requires).

23 year old at Advanced A ball... low average, occasional power at 2B... dunno about this one, unless they see another Uggla somehow

Yeah in that regard that was actually pretty shrewd of the team. I just don’t get the interest in the first place 😂

Even Uggla hit for a decent average in the minors. This dude is a strikeout machine lol

But surprisingly the OPS numbers aren’t abysmal, so there’s a little bit of value there. Especially if their plan is to groom him as a righty platoon with Jazz or Isan since he does slightly better against lefties. Also, he’s only played rookie ball and some A ball, maybe the hit tool develops

god damn it lol

Now it’s like one year that I was coaching little league and I picked a girl in the tryouts. After each talk I’d say “let’s get ‘em boys” (or something to that effect) which was always followed by the girl correcting me with “and girl” lol

Nah we were terrible lol

I came into a new league so the other teams had all their players frozen and they threw all the tryout rejects on me. I’m a good coach, but I can only do so much lol good news is my current set of kids has been to the championship two years in a row (no hardware yet though)

PS: by kids I mean team, I don’t have kids of my own lol I started coaching my nephew in 6U and have kept up with him since (he’s in 10U now)

Ah, you're pulling a Dodgers then. Congrats on your title in the next season!
