Manuel Margot's Fangraphs page is hilariously outlandish right now ... of course the 0% K%, also .323 ISO, .473 wOBA, 203 RC+ ... I love small sample madness when it gets just large enough to be impressive. I mean 32 PAs is still a small sample, for sure, but it's still a lot to never strike out, especially as a 20 year-old in A+.

That is truly video game level. SSS as you note, but hard not to be excited about this kid. One of the best parts is that his BABIP is hovering around/just above career levels, at .333. And he has some wheels, three triples already. Also 2 SB and 0 CS, which is nice to see. Hard not to get excited about a Rusney - Margot - Mookie outfield in the not so distant future.

Also excited to see what Kevin McAvoy can do after a very successful first start.

...and that's before Moncada arrives.

Coming to you from the Great Salt Lake.

What's even weirder is that he only gave up 5 walks in his professional career before that game.

Two walk-offs already this year. Confirmation bias, but nice to see a guy billed as having great intangibles prove that out.

Coming at you from the great Middle East on a layover.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC
