Vlad Jr is having an unreal offensive year but some local media think he is gold glove material at 1B. Stats say he's barely league average defensively correct?

Ben Clemens

2:39

Yes, but first base defense is not the easiest thing to judge with advanced stats

Everyone clusters near 0 and the variance is high

2:40

I haven't watched enough of Vlad to say for sure, but I would sya to take local media with a grain of salt in general

Dayton Moore recently told Bob Fesco in an interview that the Royals, this off-season, "on paper, don't have many moves to make." He stated that all they need is some bullpen help, but that they would be transitioning a couple position players (Witt, Pratto) and have plenty of pitching. How delusional is this man, and how does he still have a job as a major league GM?

Ben Clemens

2:42

Well, they need to make the moves on the field

Bobby Witt Jr. would break right through a sheet of paper, he's quite heavy compared to paper's strength

But uh yeah, what??

2:43

Sorry everyone, bear with me, internet is in and out

2:46

Alright sorry everyone, I'm gonna have to call this a chat, I am having some internet isues that I can't seem to troubleshoot

Sorry for the abbreviated chat, and I'll try to get a longer one in next week to make up for it.

Have a great week, everyone!
