The Daily Grind: Back to the Aces

First Kenley Jansen then Clayton Kershaw. Alex Wood and Rich Hill too. It seems like the Dodgers are passing around a bad case of Velocity Deficiency Syndrome. Only Kenta Maeda is throwing harder…

The Daily Grind: A Deal In The Works

Sometime in the next few days, The Daily Grind Invitational will be replaced with a freeroll. Said freeroll will have a small cash prize for the winner. That’s fine. Whatever. Freerolls are ok. Notably, the performance of the freeroll will be used to determine the proper size and scope for a TDG daily GPP. And, if I get my way, it will be a no rake GPP. So… start stretching or warming up or whatever you need to do to get ready. This is as specific as I can get at this time – nothing has been finalized, but we do seem to have a verbal agreement in place.

The Daily Grind: Davidson Does It All

Matt friggin’ Davidson. Can you believe it? I can. He’ll have another five or more multi-homer games this year. He’ll also post a sub-.300 OBP while accruing around 400 to 500 plate appearances. Don’t overreact. See section 6 for yesterday’s antics in video form.

Spring Training Notes: 2/24/18

I’m not sure how often I’ll go through the league each day during spring training but it should be fairly often. I’m going to focus on the players whose status is up in the air and could see their values change.

Detroit vs New York Yankees

Miguel Cabrera swings (8 and 1:02-minute mark)

I am no trained scout but even though he got a single in his second at-bat, there was no power behind any of his swings. I’m not buying any improvement for now.

Mets vs Braves

Zack Wheeler was one of the few pitchers who threw Friday I wanted to see how he performed after missing the two months last year with an arm injury. It was only an inning of work and the camera angle was rough but he looked fine. Here are his pitch velocity’s from the broadcast radar gun.

  • FB 94-97
  • SL 87-88
  • CU 77 12-6
