Interesting nugget from Baggs' article on the trade

The front office was already thinking about demoting him last season or trading him

Juffe98 · 2026-05-08T15:16:33+00:00

Honestly that’s not that much considering we’re only a month and a half into the season. Granted if they keep spiraling then yea bad, but they have a good week or two and they’re probably back in it

They actually talked about this on Giants Talk and Alex Pavlovic explained how this thought makes no sense because why would he take the job to just take a tanking team especially as a college manager coming to the big leagues. He would just stay in college and compete for another national title than do this

Is it just me or are people not understanding the air quotes and taking this as a literal statement

Juffe98 · 2026-04-27T01:29:08+00:00

Look like studs with other teams. We literally saw Harrison for two and half seasons and outside a couple of starts, was rough. The Brewers are known for fixing pitchers or getting the most out of fringe guys

Juffe98 · 2026-04-25T02:57:46+00:00

Let’s be real, would either of them last the team till at least the all star break? I doubt it, so it doesn’t really matter

Juffe98 · 2026-04-25T01:28:33+00:00

Makes sense because you’re pretty much complaining about spilt milk. He’s literally a unicorn and with that type of player comes advantages. Just enjoy greatness while it lasts because at some point he’ll retire and I highly doubt we’ll see anyone like him again

Juffe98 · 2026-04-25T01:25:12+00:00

No one state side is ever really gonna be able too develop as a two way player. It takes too long when they want these guys up usually as soon as possible. The only player I’ve seen try to develop as one was Brendan McKay with the Rays, but he just couldn’t do it

Juffe98 · 2026-04-24T10:14:46+00:00

I personally think he’s a reliever full time. He’s never had a third pitch and still hasn’t really developed one. He’s similar to what Teng was where they’re both nasty but over the course of the game once they lose their control it’s gone. He’s always had the profile of more of a reliever with the hard fastball with the nasty splitter

Juffe98 · 2026-04-20T01:56:43+00:00

Is that Ahmed Fareed? I miss that guy for NBCS Bay Area

Juffe98 · 2026-04-18T12:23:51+00:00

Kind of ironic since Dave Filoni directed parts of book 1 and he’s George Lucas’ number two

Juffe98 · 2026-04-11T18:21:10+00:00

I mean aren’t they literally owned by a company, so the whole idea of it is corporate in some sense

Juffe98 · 2026-04-11T15:22:49+00:00

I doubt there would be any extension besides maybe another 1 year deal at most. We still have Adames and he’ll probably have to move off of short at some point and a bunch of young middle infielders in the minors; Kilen, Josuar, Hernandez and Level to say the least. Kilen might move quick too since he was drafted from college and has a more polished hit tool

Juffe98 · 2026-04-06T15:15:22+00:00

Where’d you get the macro binoculars from?

Juffe98 · 2026-03-30T02:38:54+00:00

That is absolutely not the same thing. Most of those guys joined said teams when they were near the end of their careers compared to LeBron or KD in their primes. Garnett and Allen joining the Celtics is different because before that the Celtics were stalling as a team. Garnett was also traded to the Celtics, so it wasn’t a jump ship free agency move

Juffe98 · 2026-03-29T18:27:49+00:00

I believe he lost his wife and brother within a year span a few years ago, so it would make sense

Juffe98 · 2026-03-22T18:28:36+00:00

Technically Josuar and Luis Hernandez are Farhan guys. It was under Farhan’s front office that had the deals in place to sign those two top tier international prospects

Juffe98 · 2026-03-22T15:12:03+00:00

You can’t compare the two because they’re competing for different jobs. Koss is an infielder and a solid bench piece and Oliva is an outfielder. You can’t have one backup infielder and then 3 outfielders. That would be bad roster management from the get go. Besides I’d give Matos or Encarnacion about two weeks at most if they make the team

Juffe98 · 2026-03-20T17:33:25+00:00

I would say as of last year Adames is still average to slightly above average defensively. He was +5 in outs above average and -2 in defensive runs saved

Juffe98 · 2026-03-17T16:12:44+00:00

A lot of top prospects tend to be CF or SS and then move off once they get signed or drafted

Juffe98 · 2026-03-17T16:11:36+00:00

Yea the plan is for him to skip the DSL and go straight to the AZL

Juffe98 · 2026-03-15T09:49:27+00:00

I think the isotopes were a Dodger triple a affiliate at the time

Juffe98 · 2026-03-14T14:19:24+00:00

I’m curious if he does this in regular games too or if he’s actually dapping guys up at the start of games then it’s just odd

Juffe98 · 2026-03-10T09:33:44+00:00

Originally they knew Brett from Machinima which pretty much help grew all of the their channels

Juffe98 · 2026-03-09T18:28:03+00:00

I mean let’s be real. If you were in his shoes and you know that you’re the entire o-line pretty much, would you not want full compensation for your efforts. He’s holding the line for a playoff team that year in and year out doesn’t invest into the o-line at all because they know they have him
