If I'm reading this right... Sixto will still be a rookie of the year candidate in 2022 right? He got ROY votes in 2020 so to be still eligible two seasons later would be a rarity. What a crazy thing that would be if he won ROY in 2022.

Yes, he remains eligible in 2022. Would be wild! 

Just curious to see how he responds to his off year and especially his dedication to his conditioning.

What do you think he uses for conditioning? I'm a loyal Head & Shoulders guy myself.

Given this isn't the first time this has happened with him, I'm not hopeful.

Actually both, they have the classic available in the 2 in 1 variety!

What will they think of next?

Jeez.

All the talent, none of the work ethic.

Perhaps the Phillies kept that very, very quiet on purpose.

Didn't the scouts were paid to know something like that ?

They might have known about his issues but with his talent he may have still been the best possible return and still worth the gamble if they felt they can get his head on right. He's still not a lost cause.

Scouts are paid to view the talent, not necessarily their character.

It's probably not the scouts but I'm sure I've heard that front offices try and do research on character and personality and things like that even if it's just informally asking colleagues what they've heard.

It was always the knock on Sixto that he didnt have the drive to be great.

Marlins took that risk hoping he would grow up and that his talent would win out.

It hasnt.  Yet.

Time is probably starting to run out for him in some ways, but still immense talent.

And thats pretty much why Mish said there are zero expecations for Sixto.

He has basically zero or maybe even negative trade value at this point.

They have to hope he gets serious and figures it out, but they dont think he will and I dont blame them.

Really its too bad.

He's Hanley Ramirez, except on the mound.

Damn now that you mention it I've never seen Sixto and Hanley in the same place at the same time!

I also never saw you or Sixto in the same place at the same time though. Hmm

He'll be fine.

Except Hanley Ramirez actually saw the field and didnt take 3 years to complete his rookie season tbh.

And Hanley did have a couple offseasons where he was super determined to be really good.
