I am very happy, but was it ever confirmed Ausmus ever interviewed? We heard about Brown, Evans, and the guy working in the MLB office. Those are the only 3 that ever read about interviewing.

That was always weird to me too. Morgan was an on base machine. It would be like Tim Raines not liking advanced stats. Dude, your game was advanced stats.

January 26, 20232 yr More like a 2-car garage door, but whatever, just keep it going until 2030 or so, and the fans should be happy.
January 26, 20232 yr i actually should've gone more with a "you can't even call this shit a window. windows close." /thewire

January 26, 20232 yr Popular Post It can't be stated enough Mr.Crane is the greatest Houston sports team owner in history.

January 26, 20232 yr Allegedly Crane said Ausmus was runner up. Per Nightengale. I’m glad that was it. I was starting to get scared he’d be pickedExcited for this hire

I love him because he is hellbent about being a championship team and having the best organization in baseball by being proactive and on the cutting edge when it comes to analytics, pitchers, Latin American player development, etc. Most owners would have stood pat and signed Click to a long term deal after winning a WS. Love how cutthroat Crane is about winning - he took the lumps for not bringing Click back and got someone who has scouted and signed some of the best young talent in the game. Our new GM has not been infected by Rays-itis - the Braves are comparable to the Astros when it comes to financial resources so we won’t have to worry about him not being willing to make big moves. I hated Click. I’m glad he is gone.
January 27, 20232 yr Very curious where the mlb shredder ranks Pena in SS tonight. A lot of contenders. Didn't make top 10. I know his regular season wasn't super great and that's mainly what this shit takes into account, but thought he would possibly be in the 9-10 spot

January 27, 20232 yr I was just looking at the Braves recent drafts and it had some interesting info. They have been super pitcher heavy since 2020 with iirc 8/9 of their top picks being pitchers. This last 3 it was 3 hs pitchers. I wonder if that was more of trying to fill holes in their system like the Angels or something else.
January 27, 20232 yr He needs to print out that list and tape it to his locker Fan vote had him at #3 lol

January 27, 20232 yr That SS list is fucking stacked. Tough to break into that one as a one year guy.Every analyst(5 of them) had him in top 10 i believe.
January 27, 20232 yr Since everyone believes Yuli is headed to the Marlins, this can only mean that Brown has worked out a Dubon for Alcantara trade. Dude works fast.

January 27, 20232 yr If Brown hasn't traded Maton and Dubon for Trout by the end of the weekend, I just don't think he's going to work out.
January 27, 20232 yr laugh all you want but the destinations of ohtani and trout in the coming months/years could have a seismic effect on division/league races. i still think ohtani ends up a dodger.

Yep. I think Anaheim holds onto him all year b/c they make a bunch of money off him (I saw somehwere like an extra 20M) and they will bleed that for all it's worth and tell their fans they want to re-sign him. Then the Dodgers go either 10/500 or 12/600 and he's a Dodger in the offseason. Trout is going to be in Anaheim for life I think. I also think he's ok with that. To each their own- I don't begrudge him being comfortable and liking it there. I just don't ever want to hear him bitch about not getting to experience all that goes into the post season b/c he has repeatedly made his choice to show it's just not that important to him.

If trout wants to experience the postseason, we can trade for him in july and trade him back in the offseason for a bag of balls. like collusion in fantasy football.

So, somebody once upon a time was traded for.... himself. The deal was Player X was traded for a PTBNL to be determined in the offseason, he went over, played on the team that went to the playoffs and they determined after the season that the PTBNL was actually... Player X. They tightened up that loophole after it happened. I thought it was pretty cool. You are obviously talking about 2 transactions which would be allowable.
