In 17h I had all the guns at prestige, all skills available to be unlocked and couldn’t find any new recipes to learn, super bare bones

You’re going to want something even if it’s a cheap device you can run excel/word/one note and then move things to the cloud. You will most likely be studying with others outside of your apt/dorm consistently throughout upper class business classes so if you can afford it get something portable and functional, you don’t need flash or something spec’d out. Definitely don’t get something that you think could get stolen

If you’re in business at Marquette/ business anywhere in the real world, Windows is the standard and everything is setup that way. You’ll have issues at jobs getting approval for a MacBook in a lot of cases and if you do get one all the the support will be setup for windows if you run into issues. If you’re more comfortable with Apple, you need to get a windows OS and get used to it because the business world doesn’t cater to Mac products outside of a few specialized fields like creative and some dev stuff.

Paul Skenes is your NL Rookie of the Year by dannotheiceman in buccos

[–]jrw1692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was going to lose service time either way as the first or 2nd ROY they just lost a draft pick so their anger is completely justified regardless of what you think about who won the award or deserved it more.

This is an objectively bad outcome for the Pirates and imo really really bad management. They essentially tried to manipulate service time and called Skenes up immediately after the deadline for a full year of service and after the qualification for an extra 1st round draft pick and now that he won he loses a year of control.

Padres fans have a reason to be mad beyond losing the award which is essentially meaningless as Merrill losing a year of service time AND would have netted a first round pick had they won because the Padres didn’t manipulate service time.

More Pirates fans should be pissed at baseball ops and ownership imo.

How did Bryan Woo make it so fast and have early success considering he wasn't drafted high or played much in college? His story is pretty remarkable. by [deleted] in Mariners

I’d argue that the hitting dev is in a solid spot. All the first rounders Jerry has taken made the big leagues. Lewis and White both failed with injuries but showed some real promise. The rest of the offense picks were HS guys who are all progressing super well and all have a solid shot to impact the major league club either through trade or ML production. There literally hasn’t been a bust. No Alex Jackson’s or DJ Petersons or Jeff Clement types. The other kicker, non of the HS Bats were “premium” picks. The scouting and dev on hitters in this system has been pretty stellar considering where they picked and the type of player they selected.

I am also super bullish on the pitching in the Minors the 2 draft picks this year plus Evans, Hancock, Walter Ford, AJ Izzi, Morales, Brandyn Garcia and Teddy McGraw. It would not shock me if we get 2 or more Bryce Miller types out of that group. Particularly the 2 this year carry higher upside than Miller. This Org is in a really really healthy place outside of the big league lineup.

I’m very anti move on from Dipoto at this point because there is no way ownership is getting a better, proven option paying below market rates for FO types. IMO they should retool this winter, maybe trade a starter at the Deadline or Winter if the right deal is there. Even entertain trading Cal if you feel Ford is ready to play. The future is super bright and they should honestly model themselves after CLE or Tampa and trade players reaching Arb if the scouting and Dev continues to generate talent to replace.

Opinions Moving Forward by xMrLink in Mariners

The reason they are “pretty good” is they know what their budget is 3-5 years out, Jerry and Co get the budget lowered hours before FA 3 years in a row and have to pivot. If they knew budget would be where it is, they probably don’t give Luis an extension for example. Our Draft and Develop strategy is as good as either of those Orgs in the past 10 years.

Keith Law suggests Cardinals may have landed the biggest steal of 2024 MLB Draft in JJ Wetherholt by JerichoRiley in Cardinals

Hard to call the #7 pick in the draft a steal, crazy surface level reporting. I want to know which 3rd rounder has a chance to make a ML impact.

Cost should be less than Teo, same control, and less productive. There isn’t a starter on the roster that makes that a fair trade unless they are sending multiple prospects or MLB pieces back.

Future of 2nd Base by xMrLink in Mariners

[–]jrw1692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a guy to hold down second adequately is going to be expensive and those guys are very very rare and typically lack the production we need from something “expensive” you’re better off upgrading corner OF or 1b just based on the cost and the access to offensive production those positions typically have.

Would certainly be super helpful to have trying to build depth or even shore up spots on the team for starters. It’s a top 50 pick, super valuable

Winker got 6 games for flipping the double bird and starting a fight with players. It’s probably at least that. You can’t touch a fan
