Players that don't deserve their own thread but worth talking about....

Pavin Smith is white hot.

Former #8 overall pick.

Maikel Garcia comes to mind. Last year almost every Royals Fan including myself thought he should be demoted and even traded but this year to his credit he has turned it around. Certainly not an all-star yet and may never be but a solid ball player who overcame a dismal season. Is it sustainable? we will see hopefully yes.

Hunter Brown having a CYA season

JMStang · 04-23-2025, 10:37 AM

Josh Smith of the Rangers. Continuing where he left off last year after winning the utility Silver Slugger.

Kyle Manzardo. BA is only .219 but leads the Guardians in both HR/RBI, has a great OPS, and second highest WAR on the team. He's been clutch when it mattered and also on a 6-game hitting streak.

TJ Friedl is a very good player when healthy. Unfortunately, he miss half the season last year, and played injured in the half he was there. But man he's good when healthy (see 2023 and 2025 so far).

Wilmer Flores so far has the same amount of homeruns and rbis as Aaron Judge

TBTC Baseball · 04-23-2025, 03:35 PM

PCA - Top 10 in MLB in WAR, dWAR, Runs, Doubles, SB, Extra Base Hits, & Power-Speed#. Nice change from where he was sitting at 1/2 way through 2024.

Wilmer goes so far back now it's not funny. God bless anybody still holding onto his 2008 Chrome autos

Kodai Senga?

3-1, 0.79 ERA, 22IP, 20K

Pitches again Friday afternoon.

Pretty much like a 1/4 of Oakland... err Vegas... err the Athletics roster. Soderstrom, Rooker, Wilson, and Butler have all had great starts to the year. Mason Miller is doing Mason Miller things. Kurtz is getting the call up tonight. The aren't great, but they are fun to watch.

Logan Gilbert seems done for the season.
