How much do you consider platoon players when scouting? Just thinking recently, if you had only seen Harrison Bader hit against LHP he would’ve been a huge name and. 55 FV. Had you only seen him vs RHP, he’d have looked like a 40 FV. How do you interpret that sort of thing with such limited live-looks.

Gotta trust what info we have and also channel The Book (Tango, etc.) on when demonstrated splits seem to predict an issue. Not easy, but we usually aren't wildly off.

Will Cristian Hernandez be your #1 J2 guy for 2020?

Kiley McDaniel

Definitely top 5, it would seem

is there any plan to incorporate Trackman data in some shape or form into THE BOARD in the future?

We did spin rates last year and are doing EV this year

You only give your book an FV of 20? Any chance of a jump once it’s released?

Kiley McDaniel

fingers crossed

Body comps, and then you talk about a small forward/wingman like Oneil Cruz. I'm glad you stick to baseball, football, and basketball. And doggos.

How do you think last year's "most likely to make next year's top 100" article will end up doing?

Kiley McDaniel

I think good? Checked in on it midseason and we already had like 10-12 right I believe

Stop pretending the baseball players would ever like you. They're most likely just like the jocks who bullied you in HS. But worse because their professional. Stop pretending they would never like you or be your friend or even play catch with you. If they did it would just be to have a laugh with there friends

You guys

Hi, I'm Fangraphs and I like to complain when owners don't spend the money the way/amount that I want.

I've got an important question about Ted Williams. Say when science becomes developed enough to revive and then transplant his cryogenically frozen head onto a new body would the numbers he puts up be added onto his existing numbers or would he be an entirely new player?
