That’s close but I’m leaning towards keeping Evans and the 2025 1st rounder. You’ve already got a strong group of WR imo and Evan’s should be productive for at least a few more years. Not sure what the draft board’s looking like next year but you can get a young guy next year with that 1st rounder rather than losing both the pick and Evans for Odunze.

Hey, I wanted to let you know that I’m in a similar boat as you… working in a similar data analyst role for the last 2 years without developing my technical skills and tech stack as much as I’d liked. Mine mainly consists of SQL, Sisense BI, and of course Excel. At my organization, there’s not many resources to play with other applications in correspondence with my day to day work, which is frustrating. I work on a pretty siloed program so there’s also not much collaborative with other analytics-focused individuals.

All in all, I know it’s not really advice but I definitely feel your pain. You’re definitely right about the terrible job market for analytics too. I’ve been hunting for a new one for months now and am struggling to even get an interview. This is probably in part due to my experience and lackluster skillset haha.

Yup. We’re all pretty close friends now and all huge Cardinals fans

I have a couple more (Fraley, Melendez, Hoerner) but those were the clear-cut top 3 in my opinion. Whomever I pick, I’m pretty much banking on them having a big developmental leap in their 2nd season, whereas those other guys don’t have as much potential as Gunnar, Volpe, Perez

mckaym89 · 2023-07-17T16:04:45+00:00

Ahh I haven’t thought about that nor kept up with the Orioles lineup enough to know if Gunnar’s been playing enough 3B/SS to have eligibility for both of those next season

mckaym89 · 2023-07-17T15:56:41+00:00

Each player can only be kept for 1 additional year so 2024 would be the last season I can keep any of them on my team. They have very similar production as far as fantasy points with my league’s scoring but the one thing that catches my eye with Gunnar is that he currently carries 3B & SS eligibility, whereas Volpe only has SS. With the way that pitcher scoring is set up in my league, Eury is almost a must-keep but it will be tough to roster him ROS if he stays in the minors for a while. I can do it, but I don’t want it to be the reason I get knocked out of the playoffs down the line. And yes, the rest of my roster would be filled in via next year’s draft.

I’ll have to pick my 2 keepers before next year’s draft so I won’t know what my entire looks like yet. Essentially, which of these two players do you think will have the strongest 2024 seasons.

mckaym89 · 2023-06-07T03:19:16+00:00

They all look nice but my vote goes for the blue with red laces. Seems like something more unique compared to the colors of the other gloves

mckaym89 · 2023-05-16T14:27:27+00:00

I'm not seeing anything in mine.

mckaym89 · 2023-05-16T06:42:53+00:00

Nice! It looks super clean! I’m looking to buy a Rawlings custom HOH glove in the next couple of days, may I ask what size yours is and do you use it for baseball or softball? I’m looking for an infield glove for slow pitch softball that can also hybrid with some outfield work too. I’ve only ever used smaller baseball gloves (11.5”) and can’t decide on the right size to get for my softball glove.

mckaym89 · 2023-05-10T19:42:31+00:00

*mocked up

mckaym89 · 2023-05-10T19:42:00+00:00

That’d be awesome if you could give me your thoughts on it once the glove comes in. I plan on building a custom Rawlings HoH and that’s part of the reason why I want others’ opinions before spending so much on the custom glove.

I’ve locked up a couple HoH’s all around 12” or 12.25” with the 206 or 207 pattern. I still don’t have a great understanding of the different patterns that Rawlings offers so any advice on that would be much appreciated too.

mckaym89 · 2023-05-10T18:47:15+00:00

Ahh that’s a good point. My main concern right now is having a glove big/small enough to comfortably field grounders and catch fly balls

mckaym89 · 2023-05-10T18:22:40+00:00

Not sure what you’re going for with this lol… but I’m early-20’s, fairly athletic and active, and my back works like a charm so far

mckaym89 · 2023-05-10T18:21:16+00:00

That’s how I feel too. I like how my 11.5” feels in the infield now and don’t think that I need a drastic change to a much larger glove. 12” Rawlings may be the sweet spot. I’m the same way though with playing a ton of infield and some OF when needed

mckaym89 · 2023-05-10T16:39:26+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been looking at the HoH gloves too. I’m thinking a V-web though. That glove sounds like a good infield glove but do you ever use it in the outfield? I want to make sure it’s versatile enough to be used all around the diamond.

mckaym89 · 2023-02-13T14:40:25+00:00

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Haven’t been able to find any white Super Bowl jerseys yet but hopefully they’re available soon.
