Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[BruinVol]

Ozzie is a rookie and his ceiling is far higher than inciarte. Ender has reached his, he’s a career avg hitter and an elite defensive outfielder. Albies is just scratching the surface. Which is why I’d put him at leadoff over Ender any day of the week.

Let's test your baseball IQ.


Is the leadoff hitter one that is agressive early in the count or one that most want to work deep into the count seeing a lot of pitches?

Can you baseball guys just get a room please

 

[VolsnCards5]

this is why stats suck sometimes. perhaps it's in the interpretation. no offense intended.

I’m just looking at wOBA and WRC+. Markakis is an above above average on base guy. Acuna has a lot of pop, great for the 2 hole. Freeman in the three spot.

I don’t think I watched a single braves game last year.

But why did what I say lead you to believe stats suck?

Yea I have no clue about Albie’s potential. I just know that his OBP last year was not near good enough to be leading my team off.

Do you know where we can find pitches per AB?

I think that one is key for a leadoff. Especially when ob% is close amongst choices

Albies is known for his aggressiveness.
You don't want your leadoff being a first pitch swinger and that's why I said you have to let the young hitters come along slowly. His style doesn't fit as a leadoff guy right now. Maybe later but he needs to grow into it

[Big Sun]

Folty
(Hopefully new elite starter we’ve signed)
Gaus
Soroka
Touki

Teheran in this scenario has hopefully been traded.

No Nuke?

Saban hired VT WR coach, Holmon Wiggins, to be his WR coach.

Thanks great stuff


I certainly trust Snit but if I was choosing a leadoff I'd have Markakis up there. I know he doesn't steal bases but that ballpark doesn't need that anyway. His walk:SO ratio is great and he sees a lot of pitches. That's my pick

 

[wrangler]

What am I missing with this constantly being posted? TIA

Some of us get tired of too much thread creep. Others may post it for other reasons, I don't know.

OBP not close between Albies, Markakis, and Inciarte (markakis wins by >35 points)

Markakis was 3.97 (53rd in baseball)

Inciarte 3.66 (117th)

Albies not in top 120

So yea, Markakis is a serviceable lead off guy for my team

Rece Davis throws a shot during Duke game. “The number two team in the country and many people think they are the best team in the country”

Do you think I care?

You baseball guys are carrying excess to the point of ostentation.

Lol, been saying that for 2 pages.

But I’m a cardinals fan, so what do I know

 

[eVOLve]

To Georgia Tech? Chill.

I'll chill when hes on board.

Holy **** y'all, when did this become the Braves Talk Forum?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Yea I have no clue about Albie’s potential. I just know that his OBP last year was not near good enough to be leading my team off.

As a rookie, he was extremely hot to start the year, and then teams adjusted and then he cooled down. Then he got hot again later in the year. Not surprising at all. I'm not saying that he should be the leadoff hitter, but he should be over Ender any day.

You don’t have to click. Nothing is going to happen football wise at 11:30 on a Tuesday night worth discussing.

No football in the Braves Fan Forum Talk, Ron. Jeez.

Dang sorry I missed where you said you liked Markakis.

I just think Albies is the worst choice of the group. He's an aggressive hitter by trade.
Can't mess with that right now at this young age imo

Unfortunately, in the past we've all seen info that interests us buried in an avalanche of unrelated stuff.

No Nuke?

I forgot about Newk. I like him a lot and if he's still a Brave then he takes Touki's spot this year more than likely. There's been some talks about him being traded which is why I forgot about him. He needs to be more consistent though. He had several games where he got demolished.
