Update and Suggestion Thread

by John Sickels on May 19, 2025 12:00 AM EDT Comment 22 comments

The next month is going to be very busy, with draft stuff, college baseball and the College World Series, minor league updates most days, and Prospect Retros/Not a Rookies. Once we get past the draft season we will be introducing new features as well.

In the meanwhile, I'm working up a list of Retros/Not A Rookie profiles to do. Currently on the list are Nelson Cruz, Mark Ellis, Aaron Hill, and Brendan Ryan, who I all find interesting for one reason or another. Suggest more players that you would like to see written up.

Something on Adam Loewen

In the sense if you think he has a chance to become a serviceable player in the majors as a hitter.

Hong Chih Kuo

I suggested it on one of the prospect retros earlier this week, but I think it would be really interesting to see a guy who’s injuries slowed him down, but he was still able to succeed in the majors.

Hmm

Maybe something on Scott Sizemore-post demotion, or Max Scherzer (same reason).

+1 on Scherzer especially

I have been surprised by his struggles this year.

Keep Moving Forward.

maybe a bit too soon for Andrus

I have been a huge Andrus proponent on this site but the level of production he has shown this year has even caught me off guard. It might be worth waiting a bit to see if he can sustain this before getting too heavy into evaluation mode. If he could somehow keep doing what he is doing he is pretty much a Henderson/Raines/Lofton starter set and I, and i pretty sure John, aren’t prepared to go there yet. More likely such comps would look awfully foolish by the end of the season if, as is likely, he comes back to earth to even a moderate extent..

Im in agreement

in that i dont think he can maintain his production at current levels but there is a lot data to suggest that he has developed much more patience than he had last year. IF he does maintain it i think the Rangers have the best SS in the AL.
