He was 97th percentile in chase rate. 90th percentile in avg exit velocity, 96th percentle in hard hit %, 83rd percentile in xwoba. He's still pretty good.

McCutchen grades out fine defensively as a corner outfielder. His sprint speed was still 90th percentile last year. His arm is crappy. He may not be a CF anymore but he'd look fine in left field....
I mentioned Belt over a month ago on Twitter. I'll admit it isn't the most natural fit, but I like the bat. I'm surprised he got as much money as he did. It's not my money so I don't care. We're...
Basically the Mets signing Correa cost us any shot at Conforto. It's a shame, I wanted him too!
Bauer's a douche, but I'm all for 2nd chances. Bauer as our 5th starter...who's with me...lol.
They are paying 2.5 mil per year. McCaan is a pretty high character guy. How much cheaper do you want to go?
It would be nice if the baseball gods would balance things out. How about Verlander, Scherzer and Carrasco all on the DL mid May...
He's also got 4 years of control and Arizona likely also knows how valuable he is. It's been reported he isn't available as people have already tried.
I feel like catchers transition to the...
So the Yankees have 2 aces, 2 number 2s and a number 4...damn. I still think their lineup is garbage if Judge regresses to just really, really good.
The Dodgers luxury tax payroll is currently 30 mil less than the Jays. Walker Buehler is out for the season. Can they just wake up and remember they are the Dodgers and go sign Rodon so the Yankees...
I feel like strip made real strides with his change up. The consistency and willingness to throw it more. It's highly unlikely he replicates the numbers he put up last year. I'm sure his walk rate...
Rodon Bassit, Senga syndergaard stripling, Conforto, Benintendi, brantley.....a few names....but as each one leaves the board the anxiety gets higher. If we got one starter and one outfielder from...
Spotrac has them at 332 which would put total payrol at 401. I wanna believe a team can spend over 400 mil and arguabley not improve on what they were the year before..lol. I could maybe even argue...
Spotrac had them at 333. That puts them at 401 with the tax they owe. Congrats Mets! That's ludicrous. They are actually a worse team on paper than last year too..lol.
It's going to be depressing if he goes to the Yankees. I wish we would sign him! Spend the money!

Seems like he would be limited to a corner outfield spot defensively, but we do have Merrifield who can play centre. Would have to be priced very attractively to consider. I keep forgetting...
maybe the Jays should just sign Masataka Pedroia....Perhaps kikuchi just needs a friend to turn things around.
Haniger was a guy that at least intrigued me.....another one off the board....damn...things are cooking at these winter meetings.
I just got caught up with what the Mets are doing. I forgot we were on a budget. This free agency would be a lot more fun if we could spend 400 mil on payroll like the Mets.
Very possible he bounces back and his wRC+ is 130+. See 2 can play this game. People will gamble on a one year deal for a guy who's young and done it before.
I would have like to roll the dice on belli for one year...so who we on now?
Basically any pitcher that you sign to a long term commitment immediately has TJ risk even if they've never had injury problems at all in the past. I get the recent shoulder, forearm issues with...
Blaming his entire slide on his shoulder is ridiculous. All the power in your swing comes from your back shoulder. Bellinger had his non throwing shoulder, which is his lead shoulder in the swing...
I agree, I'd rather spend money on a really good starting pitcher, probably through trade and sign a bellinger than commit long term to Nimmo. Nimmo's a really good player. I just don't think...
