18 MAY 2024 · Take 10 with Tim – Saturday, May 18 @ 8 am 1.The Pirates DFA’d, Roansy Contreras and then traded him to the Angels. Will this be another reclamation of a failed Pirates starter or someone to avoid? 2.How worried are you about Ronald Acuna? The Braves gave him Thursday off as a baseball “De-Tox” day. He’s slashing .245/.354/.342, which looks more like his 2022 season than his 2023 season. Will 2023 be his outlier season? 3.The White Sox acquired Corey Julks from the Astros as he was likely going to be DFA’d. He had some good games last year with the Astros and has played pretty well this year in Triple-A. I would think he would get a chance. Any interest? 4.Who are you most surprised with this season between the following pairs? a.Ryan Jeffers 10 home runs or Brent Rookers’ 10 home runs b.Randy Arozarena’s .159 batting average or Corbin Carroll’s .193 batting average c.William Contreras’ .359 batting average or Jeremey Pena’s .329 batting average d.Carlos Rodon health or Tyler Glasnow health e.Ranger Suarez arguably being the best pitcher in the league to-date or Shota Imanaga arguably being the best pitcher in the league f.Dylan Cease’s bounce back or Jack Flaherty’s g.Tanner Bibee’s 4.34 ERA or Michael King’s 4.31 ERA h.Kyle Finnegan’s league-leading 13 saves or Suarez’s 12 saves i.The Astros’ 18 and 25 start or the Blue Jays 19 and 23 start 5.A lot of people drafted and have kept Jasson Dominguez on their benches/IL. He’s rehabbing now. What are odds he starts back in Triple-A after his rehab? a.Should managers be prepared to drop him or still hold onto him? 6.I released my updated Top 400 Prospects to our Patreon subscribers and the Top 100 for everyone. Let’s do one segment on questions you might have. Just a handful. Maybe certain players, when a guy might be up….anything. 7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB? 8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
