re: 2020 MLB Offseason Thread

Games start next Saturday correct?

but really. correa says bellinger has trouble with reading comprehension, only to refer to a report multiple times that contradicts what he is saying in said interview. the stugotz is at historic levels with correa

im actually legitimately curious about this. i truly wish bellinger did not say what he said the other day cause i do believe it was unnecessary. but i honest to god dont know how you can take what correa said in his interview as a positive. i truly dont

Because Bellinger claimed Altuve stole the MVP from Judge you dolt. Just an incredibly ignorant thing to say. And because the Dodgers have absolutely no standing in any of this. It's just trying to insert himself and the Dodgers into this, when it's incredibly cringey that he, Jansen, and Darvish are the most vocal ones about it. Just pathetic in a way.

Win-win then, mate. You know the vocal Dodgers in this look pathetic as frick.

i have made maybe five posts about the whole gurriel incident, almost all in passing but ok

you continue to make terrific points that showcase your understanding of things

WestCoastAg, the guy over at Dodgers Digest is doing his countdown on the Dodgers prospects for 2020. He has Andy Pages as his #21 propect (mlb.com has Pages at #13 fwiw). Here's his profile of Pages:

21. OF Andy Pages
Height Weight Age Best Tool Acquired Role 2020 Location ETA
6’1 180 19 Power IFA: Dominican, July ’18 Profile RF Low-A Great Lakes 2023
Strengths
• Plus raw power; strong hit tool
• Runs better than expected
• Potential double-plus throwing arm
Weaknesses
• Might not stick in center field
• Hasn’t played in full-season league yet
• Plate discipline needs work
Summary
During the time the Dodgers couldn’t sign an international prospect for more than $300,000, Pages was one of seven guys they inked for the max. After Vargas, this is looking like the best signing of the class. Pages lit up the hitter-friendly Pioneer League by hitting .298/.398/.651 and 19 home runs — second-most in the league. Despite still being rookie ball, Pages’ performance put him on the prospect map for most.
Pages uses a powerful right-handed swing to generate plus-bat speed to make hard contact. He also elevates the ball as well as any prospect in the system, which should help him continue to be a legitimate power threat. He has a significant leg kick that doesn’t seem to hamper him, but it could lead to strikeout issues in the future, so that might have to be toned down a bit. Still, he has the chance to wield an impact bat at the MLB level, provided his production in the Pioneer League wasn’t a mirage.
On defense, he played mostly center field and should be able to handle that position for a few more years as he goes through the minors. He has a small chance to stick there because he takes good routes and makes good reads. However, he lacks the top-end range/speed to stick there in the majors on a full-time basis. He’s more likely to slide over to right field where his potentially double-plus arm is plenty for the position.
Pages will get his first taste of full-season ball in 2020. He should go to Great Lakes (where it’s difficult to hit), but it wouldn’t be at all surprising if he ended up with Rancho Cucamonga — either to start the season or by midseason.
I’m really glad he wasn’t traded to the Angels.
