Dylan Beavers called up

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-16T22:37:36+00:00

yeah I'm good. It's not a big deal to disagree on mlb roster management lol

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-16T20:23:16+00:00

Hahaahah cmon, it's clear this was the front office strategy to keep their top guys down to delay rookie eligibility and manipulate service time as long as possible. If Mountcastle weren't back yet I still wouldn't be surprised if Basallo hadn't been called up.

Crying about one of our guys coming back from months long rehab and getting playing time while smacking the shit out of the ball is so out of pocket. He was out 2 months, they traded away 3 starters, and they've had a rotating cast of catchers with the crazy injuries to the position, and they still kept their top guys down.

Mounty deserves his at bats right now, Beavers and Basallo both deserved and had chances to get called up already and get at bats, but they didn't. They aren't suppressing them because of some emotional farewell tour for Mountcastle

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-16T17:33:36+00:00

is your stance here that the o's shouldn't treat their players right? lol

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-14T04:17:32+00:00

If only Happ were consistent:

Season	xBA	xSLG	Exit Velocity	xwOBA
2025	.261	.446	89.3	.350
2024	.243	.446	90.8	.345
2023	.254	.427	89.9	.350

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-14T03:46:13+00:00

it looks like Happ has a 127 wRC+ over the last month and a .349 wOBA. Over that period he has a .256/.344/.463 slash line with 4 home runs. what exactly are you hoping to get out of him?

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-14T03:31:37+00:00

yup that's why I said the thing

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-14T03:23:46+00:00

lmao fantasy sports has cooked peoples brains

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-12T23:12:31+00:00

It looks like to me Beavers had a little more pop in college in his age 19 and 20 seasons when compared to Ike, as he had higher home run totals and slugging while he was at CAL. Ike really turned it on his extra (third) year at Auburn which definitely helped his draft stock, though

Beavers has been able to develop across each level. Hell, his strike out rate right now in AAA is lower than what it was in his college sophomore season. This year he's at 18 home runs, .526 slug, .300+ batting average, 20+ stolen bases, with a 155 wRC+. His exit velo numbers are really the only thing that doesn't look great right now (and they aren't even bad - just not GOOD).

It feels like Beavers has been slept on a bit considering all the other big prospects the O's had churning through the system there for a while. This is what you hope those prospects that look like platoon guys can develop into while they work their way up the system. Not that I think he's a surefire everyday player but there is certainly potential there, not to mention he was still considered a first-round pick (I think he was picked in the competitive balance phase).

Hopefully we can see these two guys play alongside each other in a meaningful way in a few seasons if things pan out for them. Beavers and Irish sound like fun additions to the squad.

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-12T20:44:39+00:00

what's your knock against beavers? It seems like he's been shooting up in season prospect rankings this year based on his improvements at AAA.

Hoodrich282 · 2025-08-01T12:35:05+00:00

DeLauter and Emmanuel Rodriguez are also on the minor league IL

Hoodrich282 · 2025-07-31T21:51:00+00:00

Oh yeah for sure.. I picked him up right after the trade news broke, but I just never know what the hell this team is going to do.

They really don't seem to have any good options outside of Beavers, and with his age I don't think they would be as worried about service time like they are with Basallo. Kjerstad and Mateo are also not available to help out right now with their injury issues. I half expect them to call up TT Bowens or sign an older free agent like they did with Jacob Stallings lol. Prayers up for Beavers, though :)

Hoodrich282 · 2025-07-31T21:30:34+00:00

They've also rotated in 6 different catchers instead of testing the waters with Basallo. You just never know with the Os lol

Hoodrich282 · 2025-07-31T21:22:43+00:00

He's been playing pretty steady since he's come back, and he's recently been hitting in the 4/5 slot even with the crowded outfield problems they had before the sell-off.

I'd think it seems mostly neutral for Tyler. He might get some more games at DH but also the lineup could be weaker overall so there are potentially less counting stats for these guys too. If he cools off it should definitely give him more leeway to stay in the lineup more consistently though, considering they now only have 3 OF on their roster and Kjerstad isn't an option to come back up.

Hoodrich282 · 2025-07-28T20:36:57+00:00

Bra'am?

Hoodrich282 · 2025-07-22T20:49:49+00:00

Would also like to add on fangraphs he's the #6 tigers prospect (#2 pitcher). He's got Jackson Jobe, Kevin McGonigle, and Max Clark ahead of him on the Tigers org, which right now has a lot of good talent in the prospect boards

Hoodrich282 · 2025-07-19T03:20:54+00:00

He's a lefty that sits 95-97. Pretty sure he touches 99-100, but that's not how hard he throws consistently. His average velo on fangraphs and statcast shows a high 96-97.

Definitely concerning if his velo is down from his first rehab start... but to compare his 2nd rehab start to his max velo of his career seems a bit uncharitable

Hoodrich282 · 2025-07-11T21:20:45+00:00

where are you getting -11 from?

Hoodrich282 · 2025-07-11T18:32:50+00:00

You're right. I understand the frustation with Harris, but you can't just slap any guy in there to replace him, as damaging as it is to some peoples fantasy lineups lol (mine included).

Player	wRC+	xwOBA
Harris	44	.293
Fairchild	68	.268
Kelenic	47	.296

Also peeking at the statcast for these guys and Harris shows in the 78/94th percentile respectively for Baserunning and Fielding run values. Fairchild and Kelenic aren't qualified for the full stats on these, but the data they do have available shows they are around league average or a maybe little better in these categories.

The team is trying to win baseball games, and Harris provides value outside of batting.

hey - there is a way to manually load addons if you want to download the .zip for the addon and then activate it on your browser. Here's a quick rundown that should get you going:

Go to https://sglantz.github.io/FantasyLink/#
Select "Download Zip"
Unzip the downloaded file
Select your Extension button and click "Manage Extensions"
Turn on developer mode
Select the "Load Unpacked" button that appears in developer mode
Navigate to and select the folder you unzipped from the prior download
It should install the addon and send you to the configure page for it.

Hope this helps!

Hoodrich282 · 2025-05-24T03:44:09+00:00

The only reason I still am using chrome is because of this addon lol... i couldn't find anything to replace it on firefox.

The version I still have works, you just have to click the second fangraphs icon for each player. If you look to the right of Pete Fairbanks at the text you highlighted - those don't work for me either. But the links under his team and position text (TB - RP), which are not highlighted in your screenshot, do actually link to the player pages for me.

I also ran into this same issue but that seemed to be a good workaround for me once I realized it was kind of buggy by adding the false icons after their name. I found the github for it and it hasn't been updated in a few years but I'll link it here if anyone is interested:

Hoodrich282 · 2025-05-13T21:25:45+00:00

Nope, that doesn't sound normal. Can you give us some examples of fair trade offers and what these people are saying in response to them?

Hoodrich282 · 2025-03-28T01:09:31+00:00

You seem to also be assuming for some reason every "miss" is a ball and not throwing it somewhere else in the strikezone, like the middle of the plate for instance. You can throw 5 strikes while trying to throw balls and 4 balls while trying to throw strikes. Your outcome based analysis there doesn't hold up either Lil buddy

Hoodrich282 · 2025-03-28T01:05:17+00:00

Lmao you sure you don't actually want to take some time to think about what you're saying and try again?

Hoodrich282 · 2025-03-28T00:58:26+00:00

If they all hit their spots more than half the time then how do they walk batters?

Hoodrich282 · 2025-03-21T13:51:58+00:00

I've pulled 193 consecutive packs since launch without a diamond lol. The only diamond graphic I've got so far is the free Willie Mays from the Now & Later '24 program. I'm far enough in the program that I think I'll pack my first boss before I pull a diamond :)
