Comment on Eldridge from Keith Law at the Athletic

[Stokes1931]

Name one position player they have developed over say the last 30 years other than Posey. I think you’d have to go back to Will Clark

Will Clark came pretty developed already. Clark had exactly 11 plate appearances in the minors.

But the Giants were astute enough to draft him. They saw that talent. Didn’t he homer in his first at bat against Nolan Ryan?

Meh, if he behaves himself I have no problem with him

To each his own. I've muted the qnt. Over a decade of his bullshit is enough.

 

[Stokes1931]

As a quick thought experiment, I looked at los doyers starting lineup:

Ohtani -- not homegrown (JBL) (free agent)
Betts -- not homegrown (DeadSux) (TRADE)
Freeman -- not homegrown (Knaves) (free agent)
Hernandez -- not homegrown (Asstrohs) (free agent)
Smith -- yes
Muncy -- not homegrown (A'ss) (free agent)
Pages -- yes
Conforto -- not homegrown (Mutts) (free agent)
Kim -- not homegrown (KBL) (free agent)

2/9...and they're world champs.

I was going to argue, perhaps, that the Dodgers have drafted well, and have tradable assets. But only Betts among their starters was a trade, and it was more a salary dump by the Beantown team. So, never mind.

Better PR. If Bryce was a dodger he’d be the next Bonds for hype.

They dropped the ban hammer? I guess he earned it...

If he stayed off the Giants board he'd probably have been allowed to stick around

He is not welcome here (the site in general). But you are probably right. If he stayed away from this board, he likely would not have been banned. He was already on radars, but my “confirmation” pretty much dropped the pellet in the solution.

I have a weird gift, I recognize his alts every time in like 2 posts...certain word choices, attitudes, topics, he just can't mask it. Even his screen names are similar

I guess he's had what like 7-8 different screen names?

I am getting pretty good at seeing him. I won’t post what his tells are, though. I don’t want him to fix them.

Adios, qnt. Don't come back.

Ball was absolutely RAKED. Frozen rope.

Also, absolutely nobody in the stands. Kinda sad.

He seems to have a good compact swing which he will need being that tall
