Profar was the main reason for the trade and Odor turned out to be a (temporary) silver lining. Turns out we were right about Profar being good, just like 12 years too early.


Yep. Profar was exactly the reason for that trade. He was the #1 prospect in baseball until he started having his shoulder(?) problems.

So they trade Kinsler straight up for Fielder, which I very much liked at the time. Then Profar gets injured, which I very much did not like. Then Odor is inserted, and I liked that until I did not.

Profar + the Ballpark was friendly to lefty power hitters.

Kinsler also reinvented himself as a hitter once he left. He was all pull power in 12 and 14. Goes to Detroit and suddenly remembers he can use the whole field.

He's not touching the field until opening day for me lol. Don't even chance it.
Not the way baseball works. Do that, and he won't be ready.

Langford with mild oblique strain. They say 5-7 days. I say sit him for a month.
Here we go again. Did we turnover our entire sports performance and sports medicine staffs over the winter?

Going to be beneficial for Wyatt Langford, going to diminish the advantage of Heim behind the dish. All the more reason for Jonah to get back to 2023 form this year

I attended a minor league game where they used it. It's relatively quick. It probably does diminish the concept of framing a bit, but I don't think you'll see a lot of challenges on those borderline pitches. I just want it to get rid of the egregious calls that affect the game in a huge way.

Can the umps deny challenges? I'm all for getting the egregious calls corrected but don't want some dudes thinking they can slow the game down by challenging every other pitch.

I think you can only challenge one pitch per AB

You also lose a challenge if the call is correct. Good way to keep players from over challenging.

Even better.

I figured there had to be some guard rails around it. Would have to have that or it would be abused immediately.
