Yes, I'm a noted Braves hater because I think public prospect rankings have an established trend of overrating risky pitching prospects.
12:31
But yeah, I'd guess the Braves won't be allowed to sign anyone internationally next year, and maybe for more than one year.

Will we get more Pitch Talks podcasts with you and Carson? I need my Danny Jansen updates
Dave Cameron
12:31
Yeah, it's just on hiatus while we get Carson's baby to be a reasonable human being and get through the postseason. It will come back.

Is Dusty Baker's reputation as an in-game manager worse than the merits of his decisions warrant? It seems to me he is just easy to criticize because he so clearly bases his decisions on ridiculous factors.
Dave Cameron
12:32
I think people have been criticizing Dusty for so long now that it's just reflexive

Rumblings that SF wants to move Belt due to injuries and contract kicking in. Where would he land? BOS, TEX?
Dave Cameron
12:33
Not Dombrowski's type of guy.
Maybe Seattle? I could see Dipoto being interested.
Joe

Are the Diamondbacks a one year thing, or does their starting staff give them 90+ win potential going forward?
Dave Cameron
12:34
If Godley is legitimately this good, then they've got a shot to be good again next year.

Boston was: 26th in slugging, 28th in ISO, 27th in home runs, 13th in avg, 11th in OBP. Pretty clear that their contact hitting/plate discipline was not the problem, was specifically extra base hits and home runs that were lacking.
Dave Cameron
12:34
Except you don't get evaluated on number of extra base hits when the games end.
You can out-single/defense/pitch your opponent and the runs still count.
12:35
Of course, if you can improve a weakness and upgrade your team, you should, but the first question was about swapping Rodriguez for a power hitter, and I don't see that making the team significantly better. It would just make them different.

Belt - how about NYY?
Dave Cameron
12:36
Nah, they're sticking with Bird.
Tanner

What's Dombrowski's type?
Dave Cameron
12:36
Toolsy

How do the Yankees win tonight?
Dave Cameron
12:36
They jump on Kluber again, bullpen pitches 7+ innings
Ed in Iowa
12:37
I hope that was just a babies being babies comment and not that there is something badly wrong with Carson's baby
Dave Cameron
12:37
Yeah, Carson's baby is fine, beyond being a newborn.
12:40
Sorry about that, my internet died
Macho Man Sandy Ravage

Would the easiest solution in boston be not having Pablo and having Devers all year?
Dave Cameron
12:41
That will help a lot.
Joe
12:41
Yankees bullpen or Cleveland’s?
Dave Cameron
12:41
Yankees
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe
12:41
I don't think of Victor or J.D. Martinez as being particularly "toolsy."
Dave Cameron
12:42
Victor had an elite hit tool for a guy with average power
J.D. has 70 power
Josh
12:43
If you were commissioner for a day and could implement one change in MLB, what would it be?
Dave Cameron
12:44
Throwing at a batter's head is a 30 game suspension.
0Dub
12:44
what is CC's leash tonight? twice through order? less?
Dave Cameron
12:44
Less
Unless he's throwing a perfect game, I don't see any reason he goes more than 3 IP.
12:45
Green, Robertson, Kahnle, Chapman can easily give you 6, probably 7, maybe 8.
No real reason to push CC
Dan
12:45
O/U 2% chance that Dombrowski trades for Miguel Cabrera
Dave Cameron
12:45
I would bet that some kind of Hanley/Miggy trade at least gets thrown around
