I think all of this should start with a rebuttable presumption and the guy who just set the postseason whiff record and did this to Ohtani is going to hit harder at initial glance than anything Griffin or McGonigle did this year

I was very proud of this essay at the time I wrote it, thought it was one of the most comprehensive and best things I've ever written, and then spent over a year having people scream at me and threaten me over it enough that I have tried to forget it existed. But I was fucking right about all of it.

I wrote Jasson prospect blurbs in five different BP annuals because I always write the "weird" guys, and this is the last one and representative of the bunch. If you thought this guy was a likely super-fucking-star that's because you weren't actually reading people with a clue

the good news is that he combined the various things he was doing individually okay to well in 2023 and 2024 but not both seasons, and that led to decent offensive outcomes because he hits the ball hard. The bad news is that he hasn't substantially fixed any of the decision and intent problems

based solely on the Low-A public data from the @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social app Tait is better enough at the damage and contact parts to matter at the margins, and also they're at the same level now and Tait is 1.5 years younger, and also Tait is more explosive/likelier to stay up the middle
