  • I see Joost is trending on Twitter. I assume people the world over are mulling their choices for J in their vintage drafts.

      It does, but it's really not that big deal, no reason to have a big implosion

        • Saw a goofy cherry-picked stat on Reddit.

          Four MLB pitchers in the modern era have had a WHIP of .72 or lower over their first 8 starts of a season with their team winning all 8. 1901 Christy Mathewson, 1907 Addie Joss, 1908 Mordecai Brown, and 2024 Ranger Suarez.

            wow, I had no idea Ranger Suarez was having such a great year. He's still got some work to do if he wants to be drafted in VD 19

              His career may be over before VD 19 happens.

              Trivia tidbit: we tried to get Ranger Suarez as a throw-in in the Ken Giles deal in 2015. Suarez was a 19-year-old in the Gulf Coast League at that point. Good job by our Florida pro scout, but Phillies wisely said no.

                Interesting. His career may be over before The next VD happens, I don't even know what number we are on or if we will ever do this again. I hope we do

                • Jonathan Arauz was our Florida scout's second choice after Suarez. He has ended up having a big league career, which for a throw-in in a trade like that is still a success, but he hasn't been Ranger Suarez.

                    I took this to mean you were seeing something in ranger's approach that lead you to think he would be injured soon... but this is just a rip on our inability to pull together another VD (I hope).

                      I'm really happy to see that Jonathan Singleton is having a moment. Really happy for the guy.

                        If I were that good at predicting injury....well....I'm not.
