| 12:29 | Joe: ZiPS had very sturdy projections for Yoshida. I imagine 3+ WAR. At the time I assumed the batting line was optimistic, however affordable. Otoh, the protection and base working considerations raised by the scouting studies appeared to be principally minimized. There was some crowing early within the 12 months that the optimistic projections had been appropriate. He’s now slumping badly and sitting at a disappointing 0.8 WAR. I believe his hitting will bounce again some, however his protection and base working worth make it laborious to ever see him as a 3+ WAR participant. Does ZiPS have problem projecting non hitting efficiency from international leagues? |

| 12:30 |
| 12:31 |
| 12:31 | Todd Bonzalez: What sort of participant is TJ Friedl transferring ahead? Tons of blue within the Savant web page, however in some way nonetheless having a productive season on the plate. Lots of that needs to be luck, proper? Seems to do every little thing else moderately nicely. |
