Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

I think the Braves will be back.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

And then the Phillies are the Phillies.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

They're kind of running back a lot of the same roster, some upgrades here and there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

But this is a team that's going to be right in the thick of a playoff hunt, and he's going to be spearheading that staff.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

Yeah, I mean...

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

It sucks because if Scooble didn't exist, I think Sanchez would be like the premier NL guy.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

But Skeens does exist, and Sanchez is kind of the two to Skeens is A, or the two to Skeens is one.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

So I'll go Christopher Sanchez.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

I like the pick, Pat.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

Pat, who's your pick?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

Let's hear it.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

So I'm going with the guy who had his cup of coffee in the majors last year and didn't do necessarily great, but earned himself a long-term contract.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

I'm going with Samuel Basayo.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

Oh, that's a good one.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

Last year, 31 games in the majors, four home runs, 15 RBI, only a 165 average and a 559 OPS.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

But if you look at his AAA stats from last year, this is a guy who hit 270, 966 OPS, 23 home runs, 67 RBI.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

So the hit tool has always been there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

I don't know if he necessarily projects out as a long-term catcher, but he'll spell Adley every now and then.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

He'll get some innings a catcher.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

The big thing with me, with Basayo, is I think the perfect guy to kind of mentor him and learn from is Pete Alonzo.
