@JohnBollman11 Would be curious how many of his stolen bases allowed this season came with this guy on the mound tho. Almost every clip was in the 1.5 range. He also takes the ball out of his glove before leg lift on every pitch.

I dont know whats more insane…
That a D1 ACC catcher has a 3.2% caught stealing percentage or that there are 3 catchers in D1 that are worse than him.
English
@eatfruit818 @sneaky_blinders @TheHoopHerald Exactly and second round contracts aren’t guaranteed. So to me mcneeley is probably in the best situation he can be in terms of his career
English
@PBO27 @sneaky_blinders @TheHoopHerald He would have went second round the guys who are like him In this draft are better and one of them is coming off a national championship in no form of fashion is he going over Yaxel
English
This is why some guys shouldn’t be in a rush to get to the NBA
Liam McNeeley has played the majority of the season in the G League, after being drafted by the Hornets
Had he come back to UCONN, he would probably be a National Champion right now
English
@ReseRice4 @AllAccessNYKNYM The amount of guys who came back and never got another shot. Way too much risk
English
@AllAccessNYKNYM They do and you can. I don’t think it’s a bad idea to come back if the trajectory says he can move up in the draft. Some players late-1st might be their highest projection. Too many factors and too much risk in coming back… in most cases.
English
You can’t tell a 1st-round pick to come back to school. You have to leave that up to him and his family. Depending on his projection, you might have to tell him to enter the draft.

@tylermilliken_ He’s the best player on the Red Sox. And is the one guy that can’t get an extension. Clearly has the best swing, and has a bazooka.
English
Very rarely does a player live up to the preseason/spring training hype. Wilyer Abreu has done exactly that so far.
Not only does he lead all right fielders in fWAR, he’s tied for the MLB lead with Nico Hoerner.

@jeff_on_sports You know ball brother. The risk of coming back is highly risky
English
McNeeley locked up 14 million guaranteed dollars by declaring early and is likely in a better place for long term development now. Hard to say he’s made a mistake.

@sneaky_blinders @TheHoopHerald Only 30 first round picks. Last year he was 29th. This year’s draft considered to be deeper. He would be 21 on draft night, chances of first round go down significantly the older you get.
English
@PBO27 @TheHoopHerald He’s 6’8 and a can shoot as a wing. Lol he’d be ight
English
@bmaily15 It’s as if Big Cat went in a lab and created a ding that lacked the lettuce and breaking ball.
English
Ronny Doitche has been putting up 2015 @bmaily15 numbers this week.
English
@PBO27 @BOSSportsGordo I’m reacting to the comment that he’d have to hit .300 with 35 HRs to justify his cost. If you’d take those numbers for $15M/3, you’d certainly take them for $2M/3.
English
Someone has to tell me what’s going on with Anthony’s arm. x.com/BarnHasSpoken2…
English
@bostonorctfan @BOSSportsGordo Yeah can affect both if you start choking the ball
English
@PBO27 @BOSSportsGordo Does the yips impact arm strength? Usually it’s an accuracy nightmare. In this case he can’t throw further than a 6th grader(on or off target)
English
@RB1867 Agreed. Yordan Alvarez signed for 116 million after hitting 298 with 41 homers a year, playing left field and DH. Took him 171 big league homeruns, 3 all stars, a rookie of the year, and a silver slugger to get that money. So I think it’s fair to hold Anthony to high standard.
English
Another one with a dream contract with no train to back it at this point!
Peter Bocchino@PBO27
@BOSSportsGordo Brother it’s called the yips, and it’s a hell of a demon to overcome. Usually guys move to left field because they have the yips on the dirt. Nowhere else to play if you are too yipped for left field. Gonna have to be a DH and hit 300 with 35 to be worth the contract.
English
@ScottPorch1 @BOSSportsGordo Could have had him for 2.1 million for three years so yeah.
English
@PBO27 @BOSSportsGordo I mean, you want him to play better defense than this, but Anthony will cost $16M over his first 3 years.
English
@ontologyofRouge @BOSSportsGordo Trust me it’s been done before. Most people aren’t yipped to the point of it being noticeable from out there, but it seems he is yipped. Also most yipped cases start from an injury so whether he’s banged up or not, missing the target by 50 feet would qualify one as being yipped.
English
@PBO27 @BOSSportsGordo You don’t get yipes from the outfield
English
@FreitasDerek @BOSSportsGordo Could be worse. Imagine throwing to second on double plays. It’s accuracy and mental more than arm strength. Hes throwing 91 from outfield and ball is going 100 feet off target
English
@PBO27 @BOSSportsGordo 1st base like Harper may be an option down the road!
English
@MThi_59 @BOSSportsGordo He’d have to make more than 30 million a year in arbitration to come even close to his current contract…plus bat only players usually don’t get paid out.
English
@PBO27 @BOSSportsGordo He would have been far more expensive 3+ years from now. And after the strike ends/salary cap is introduced his deal will be grandfathered in.
That’s 99.9% coming
English
@Hogdale_ It’s called the yips Hogdale. Been in the game a while. Sad thing is most yipped guys move to the outfield to hide. Nowhere to go but DH for your baby goat.
