MLBTR Originals

By Connor Byrne | August 28, 2016 at 8:08am CDT

Here’s the original analysis MLBTR has offered this week:

  • Former major league reliever Burke Badenhop turned in his second guest column with MLBTR, this time offering firsthand knowledge of how players whose teams are out of contention late in the season handle the stretch run. If you’re under the impression those players run for the bus, think again.
  • Jeff Todd highlighted eight soon-to-be arbitration-eligible hitters who are setting themselves up for significant raises during the upcoming offseason. As Jeff explained, the more plate appearances, home runs and runs batted in a hitter racks up, the better his chances are to do well in arbitration.
  • Steve Adams updated his list of the top 20 August trade candidates. Players dealt in September aren’t eligible to participate in the playoffs, so time is running out on teams to acquire possible October contributors.
  • With Diamondbacks chief baseball officer Tony La Russa and general manager Dave Stewart potentially on the chopping block, I polled readers on whether the club should give the much-maligned duo another chance.
  • In this week’s edition of “Knocking Down the Door,” Jason Martinez looked at five prospects – two starting pitchers, two outfielders and a catcher – trying to force their way to the majors.
  • Jeff forecast the futures of eight veterans – including Lucas Duda and Shelby Miller – who could be non-tender candidates during the offseason.

    These are routinely the most skippable posts. Nobody cares about your ego self-congratulation. Nobody cares how desperately you want jobs at ESPN.. Nobody cares who you even are. Post MLB trades and transaction news until another site does it better.

      Really why are you even at this site and posting in this forum? This site is all about raw information relating to baseball. In fact since you mentioned ESPN, they forget what is important….sports. That company can be annoying with their political views and such.

      This site is simple, to the point and it’s for baseball enthusiast. Go away with your negativity. The rest us will enjoy JT, CB, JM and others who chat and report about baseball. They do an excellent job to keep us informed and entertained.
