I wrote about a scouting lesson I only fully learned after writing one of my worst reports. This is a fun one: blogs.fangraphs.com/my-worst-rep...
My Worst Report: Lessons Learned From the Field
Even the worst reports can turn into a positive if they change your thinking or provide a valuable lesson along the way.

Refreshed Stuff+ training set, removed 2020-2021 to reflect changing pitch environment. Batters have seen the sweeper, and adjusted, so Stuff+ should too. Biggest Stuff+ losers below, some sweeper-guyers there. Will be on FanGraphs shortly, in meantime on ranks here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/701...

MacKenzie Gore is pretty good. He's been fiddling with his curve to kill horizontal, make it more Kershaw-like (he has some release similarities). His 4s has always been above-ave. Maybe just settle on this curve shape & just try to command it a little better, because 4s/CU/SL should be enough.

In fantasy auctions, you generally want to avoid buying the last guy in a tier because you'll generally end up overpaying for that player. Cody Bellinger fits that rubric for me. Might like this deal the least of the offseason.

The Mets could start Bo Bichette (0 MLB games at 3B) & Jorge Polanco (1g at 1B) at 3B/1B on Opening Day

Only team in last 100 years to start 2 non-rookie INFs on Opening Day w/1 or 0 prior MLB games at that position:

"This suggests that Tucker could lose as much as 3 mph of bat speed over the next nine years" this part in particular i would push back on, i think that aging curve is much too aggressive. @enosarris.bsky.social

Good stuff from @enosarris.bsky.social

Tucker's very, very good. Elite plate discipline, good launch angles. But his defense is in decline, he's not the most durable & he's already got 50th percentile bat speed a few years out from the age when it starts to tank.

Why Kyle Tucker didn’t get the long-term contract many expected
Tucker got paid, but he didn't get as many years in his deal as many predicted he'd receive at the start of the offseason.
