    Arizona Fall League Rosters for 2022.

    https://www.mlb.com/news/arizona-fall-league-rosters-2022 Interesting list. I didn't even remember who Aaron Perry was. Abreu prior to today's game had 113bb/151k in 571 PA. .249/.401/.438 for the year. Lotta walks, lotta strike outs. Last year in A+, he had 38 bb in 331 PA. This year...

    Reviewing the last 5 drafts.

    2021: 1. Mayer: Projects to be above average offensively and defensively. He's struggled in the early going in Greenville but it's normal after a promotion. 2. DNS 3. McDonough: He's already 23 and is failing to hit in A+. He's not hitting for average or power and hasn't shown much in the...

    What's left this off season?

    Outside of acquiring another big, what other moves are left for the team? There are a few roster spots to fill in but I'd guess those are used on Fitts and Morgan types. They have 4 empty roster spots and 2 2 way spots. 2 of those should be filled by Hauser and a Big. That leaves 2 and...

    What will the C's do at the deadline?

    Pretty straight forward. Don't know if I missed any possible outcomes.

    Any cure for the big Alment (ailment)? The Al Horford Thread.

    Seems he deserves his own thread that isn't part of the Kemba trade. First 25 games: 29.8 minutes, .457/.310/.857 12.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.5 blocks, 0.8 steals, 1.0 TO, 2.2 PF 9.9 FGA Last 17 games: 26.7 minutes, .385/.259/.818 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1...

    Jaylen Brown, The Vet Years

    New threads are good and the only Jaylen Brown thread I see for this year is related to his health. Usually, players like Jaylen don't do well in the NBA. He came in very robotic and with terrible steal/block numbers at the college level. He's come a long way since his rookie year and...

    Doing it over: The 2018 NBA draft.

    Now that all of these players are finishing up their rookie contracts, given the 2018 draft is one of the more interesting drafts, and that I just like re-drafts (redrafts?) I'm curious what SOSH thinks. Here is the draft order: https://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2018.html This...

    21/22 Red Claw Thread

    Maybe there already is one but I looked. I'm also blind. If so, link me to it and lock this up. I remember reading about game 1 but I don't see a Red Claw thread. Through 2 games, Sam Hauser is averaging 22.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steal, 0.5 TO in 34.9 MPG. He's shooting...

    Pedro Castellanos (1b/LF)

    6'3, 244 lbs B/T: Right Handed 12/11/1997 IFA, signing bonus: $5,000. A 1b up until this year, Castellanos was moved to LF because of Triston Casas. Not to be mistaken with the MLB player, Pedro Castellano, Castellanos is slow footed on the bases and stiff defensively. He has good contact...

    Denyi Reyes, SP

    6'4, 255 pounds, Right Handed. 11/2/1996. IFA, signing bonus unknown. Denyi is more binky than prospect but he does have a chance of making the Major Leagues. He gets by on below average stuff and sits in the low 90s. The thing that makes him interesting is his command/control profile...

    Jaxx Groshans, C

    6'0, 200 pounds Right Handed 7/20/98 2019 5th Round Pick, $304,200 signing bonus Another one of my binkies and a player you won't find on any lists... yet. He'll probably be on some deeper lists later this season, or maybe he's already on some I'm not aware of. I don't see him shooting up the...

    What do you think of the Brad Stevens move?

    Pretty self explanatory.

    Brayan Bello, SP

    6'1 170 lbs 5/17/99 IFA He's been a binky of mine for awhile. He added considerable velocity in 2019 and pitched much better in the 2nd half. This year, he's off to another great start. I think he's on the verge of climbing up the ranks in a hurry but his size could possibly limit him to...

    Team Leadership

    If this team does lack leadership, where does it come from for the 21/22 season? Will Tatum accept a new player who isn't as good as he is as the team leader? Will it come internally? Jaylen Brown seems like a possible option. Same question above regarding Tatum. If this is indeed an...

    Tracking the Mendoza's (league batting average).

    MLB hitters are slashing .232/.309/.389. The .232 average would be the lowest batting average of all time. It would be the lowest OBP since 1968. edit: A link would help. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/bat.shtml

    Top Players under 25

    Rather than rank them, I'd give them tiers. I'm sure people will disagree with a lot of it but that's fine. I think the players in the tiers are pretty interchangeable for the most part. Some if it is obviously based on potential but I'm not counting guys who aren't producing right now...

    Which player would you pick to take the leap/be ready out of the gate that has less NBA experience than Tatum?

    If you could have any of the rookies be ready from the gate or any of the players with less NBA experience than Jayson Tatum to take the leap, who would you pick? I immediately went to Nesmith because I think he could score 16-18 on really good shooting in that scenario. But then when I stop to...

    Looking Forward: Building around Jayson Tatum

    We're talking about this in the Jayson Tatum thread but it's not really about *Jayson Tatum.* I mentioned Kemba Walker causes some roster construction issues due to his size. He limits what you can do at the SG position and to a lesser extent, how you can build your bench. Out of the...

    Putting the C in 'Arsen

    Carsen Edwards shot under 40% in college 2 of his 3 years. I'm guessing the list of players with sub 40% FG% with successful NBA careers is close to nil, especially when that player is 5'11. I don't think he's long for the NBA.
