Holliday mentioned a similar haul for Washington trading Juan Soto to Padres and how James Wood and CJ Abrams have become two very good players acquired in that haul .
Juan Soto has yet to play his age 27 season and the Padres acquired him when he was 23. Donovan is already 29 and has less 6 less Career WAR by the same measuring stick.
Totally unrelated… freaking Juan Soto had 38 Stolen Bases last year and was caught the same amount of times as VSIII!? What the hell does Marmot even do in the dugout??? Masyn MF Winn didn’t even have as many SB as Jordan Walker, yet Masyn was caught stealing more times than Soto. I can even…

He didn’t suck the year before he hit 15 home runs and had a .730 OPS which isn’t bad when he’s a gold glove caliber defensive player.

But he only swiped 11 in 24, so it's not like the bottom dropped out.BleedingBleu wrote: ↑07 Feb 2026 06:36 amI hope so. It’s criminally inept for that 2025 club to operate like stealing bases is beneath them… or that they’re somehow facing Yadier Molina behind the plate every time they have a guy on First. I can’t see any reason why a 23 year old shortstop with a foot speed about the 87th percentile isn’t swiping more than 9 Bags, nor having a greater success rate of 69% on attempts.2ninr wrote: ↑07 Feb 2026 06:14 amI think it will be telling to see the way Oli manages in 26 compared to 25. I expect some big changes in " philosophy." Bloom has incorporated new strategies in every other phase of the organization. I can't believe he brought him back if they didn't have lots of conversations on just that topic. The Brewers almost doubled our sb total, 164-89. I'm sure there will be pre-determined expectations for in-game managerial decisions, including player substitutions and pitching changes. Bloom must be convinced Oli will execute what they will be trying to do.BleedingBleu wrote: ↑07 Feb 2026 04:57 amWouldn’t that be funny. A utility player acquired for the same value that a prior transaction for a future Hall of Famer early in his Prime returned.ramfandan wrote: ↑06 Feb 2026 19:40 pmRegarding the 'he's one of 5 ' , Matt Holliday (in the video I posted Holliday, Lynn, Jim Hayes ) said that hopefully 2 of the 5 could turn out good.renostl wrote: ↑06 Feb 2026 18:07 pmCardinals4Life wrote: ↑06 Feb 2026 16:54 pmLow risk?renostl wrote: ↑06 Feb 2026 16:26 pmTrueOzziesfan41 wrote: ↑06 Feb 2026 16:13 pm He might not work out but the fact he did that shows he’s dedicated to improving himself which is a good sign. Also larry day and his staff started working with baez on cutting his strike outs last january and it worked out well if they do half as good with him as they did with baez i like his chances
and he's low risk not high risk.
Sort of. I mean we did give up Donovan for him, so not entirely low risk.
He's one of 5
Holliday mentioned a similar haul for Washington trading Juan Soto to Padres and how James Wood and CJ Abrams have become two very good players acquired in that haul .
Juan Soto has yet to play his age 27 season and the Padres acquired him when he was 23. Donovan is already 29 and has less 6 less Career WAR by the same measuring stick.
Totally unrelated… freaking Juan Soto had 38 Stolen Bases last year and was caught the same amount of times as VSIII!? What the hell does Marmot even do in the dugout??? Masyn MF Winn didn’t even have as many SB as Jordan Walker, yet Masyn was caught stealing more times than Soto. I can even…
Willy, Ozzie, Vince Coleman are all still alive. Yadi “Wheels” Molina was able to do better than that 3 times! This is stupid.![]()

Re: Tai Peete backyard practice facility he built
Speaking of backyard baseball there was a pitcher named Bradford who pitched submarine style. He learned to pitch when his Dad built a pitching mound in the backyard.
