Tai Peete backyard practice facility he built

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

True
and he's low risk not high risk.

Low risk?

Sort of. I mean we did give up Donovan for him, so not entirely low risk.

He's one of 5

Regarding 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.
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 .

Wouldn’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.

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…

I 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.

I 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.

Willy, Ozzie, Vince Coleman are all still alive. Yadi “Wheels” Molina was able to do better than that 3 times! This is stupid.

Winn had a bad knee last year, so hopefully that played into such a poor sb performance. But he only swiped 11 in 24, so it's not like the bottom dropped out.

LoL. No, the bad knee isn't the issue as you even stated he sucked the year prior

Scouty hates Winn

He did, repeatedly, say that Winn would never win a GG.

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 you posted repeatedly he wasn’t a gold glove caliber short stop which hasn’t aged well since he won the gold glove

Stealing bases is the context of this comment. Stay with it...I know comprehension is challenging.

He’s a contrarian.

Also, if he thinks x player/coach/FO gets more shine than he thinks he deserves on CT, he will take the contrary view. He’s starting to do it with Bloom.

But yeah, funny exercise: do an advanced search of ‘Winn’ by author ‘scoutyjones2.’

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.
