Not available on the site I useThat's the smart money with Cobb v Gray.. what's the o/u on strikeouts?
Cha-CHING!!!I bet the Under, 8 even
What, no Brebbia?Just a beautiful game. Only blemish were the two bombs but when its warm in MPLS the ball flies at that park. Cobbs gotta be an early favorite for the ASG, no?
Along with Tyro.
Now on pace to go 81-81....sounds familiarCha-CHING!!!
.500 my friends.
18-11 in the last 29.
Honestly think he's top 3 in the league.What, no Brebbia?
If Doval keeps this up, he should be there.
Davis too maybe? Doval likely.Just a beautiful game. Only blemish were the two bombs but when its warm in MPLS the ball flies at that park. Cobbs gotta be an early favorite for the ASG, no?
Along with Tyro.
We need to keep in mind that the 15 teams in the NL provide 34 players (the size of the squad). That's an average of 2.267 players per team.Cobb and Wade are our front runners for the ASG, with Tyro making a nice push and Davis knocking on the door.
If I were betting, I would say only Cobb, though. Wades numbers, while worthy, are not overpowering enough to make up for his lack of a name. Tyro is the clear #2 2B in the NL, but he is well behind the top guy, and 2B is often a position that goes to representation for the bad teams.
I thought the Marlins were mainly playing Arraez at 1st base. I checked and was wrong. You are correct, as of today, he is the clear frontrunner for starting at 2nd base in the ASG. However, I'd argue that Estrada is the clear backup. His closest competitior is Tommy Edman but Edman just recently slid over from short to 2nd so I'm not sure how that will work for the selection process.Cobb and Wade are our front runners for the ASG, with Tyro making a nice push and Davis knocking on the door.

Good point on Doval. We could have 3-4 guys make it.What, no Brebbia?

And Luke is a couple weeks away.Honestly think he's top 3 in the league.
FYWW in general has been fantastic lately
good research. Goldy isn't having a great year so far, so that opens up a crack for LWJ. You are absolutely correct that he is tragically overlooked this year. He's been excellent, and his defense has been solid.ASG talk with the Giants should start with LaMonte Wade, Jr. He is currently tied for 8th (with Juan Soto) in the NL, among qualified players, in OPS+. Unfortunately, two of the guys above him (Freeman and Goldschmidt) are well known 1st basemen and another, Luis Arraez, is also above him. Rowdy Tellez is just one point lower than him as well. He is the best hitter on the Giants' squad and may not even make it into the ASG, as it currently stands.
JD Davis is in a three way tie for 15th, along with Max Muncy and Patrick Wisdom. All three play 3rd base. No other 3rd basemen are above them but you know that Arenado is going to get votes.
Thairo Estrada is 20th among NL batters in OPS+. Unless you count Ian Happ, I don't know what his primary position is this year, there are no 2nd basemen above Estrada. Ketel Marte, at 28th, is the closest below him (28 points below Estrada's OPS+). He should be the starter there.
The NL doesn't have a lot of good hitters. The 57th best qualified hitter, Miguel Vargas of the Dodgers, has an OPS+ of 100. That means Michael Conforto ranks at 51, with an OPS+ of 103. However, 20 of the 50 players above him are outfielders. His chances are slim.
I don't have time to look at pitchers, so this is it for me tonight.
He's being coached by Nick LoweryGood point on Doval. We could have 3-4 guys make it.
Brebbs...he's being promoted to the Superleague.
Thank you.good research. Goldy isn't having a great year so far, so that opens up a crack for LWJ. You are absolutely correct that he is tragically overlooked this year. He's been excellent, and his defense has been solid.
