Rack it!
Still pushing for Brash to be moved into the closer role. Munoz is a disaster waiting to happen

I'll say it again, for how good Williamson's glove is... his arm is pretty bad. And I'm not sure that is something you can really ever fix.

Is it bad? I'm sure he's throwing upper 80s. Not elite but average?Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Fri Jul 25, 2025 4:34 amI'll say it again, for how good Williamson's glove is... his arm is pretty bad. And I'm not sure that is something you can really ever fix.
A bad arm is Randy Arozarena or Jose Altuve. I mean, fuck those are ugly

https://www.mlb.com/news/ben-williamson ... icle-shareIt’s also perhaps why he’s blossomed into one of the best defensive infielders in the organization. His instincts and first step have allowed him to cobble balls up, while his elite arm strength and quick exchange have helped him finish plays. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him see action at shortstop at some point

Maybe he's buying into Perry Hill's bounce-ball method too much.

He's made a few good throws, here and there, that didn't bounce. Who knows?Donn Beach wrote: ↑Fri Jul 25, 2025 4:46 amYeah , I don't know, never heard of a guy being touted as an elite defensive player that couldn't throw
His head is shaped a lot like Seager's, so maybe there's hope.

Oh I'm sorry, did you miss his 47 bounce throws from 3B in the 9th inning there?Vogelbomb wrote: ↑Fri Jul 25, 2025 4:47 amSoB could use a trip back to baseball school, work on his scouting acumen a little bitDonn Beach wrote: ↑Fri Jul 25, 2025 4:40 amSeattle or Bust wrote: ↑Fri Jul 25, 2025 4:34 amI'll say it again, for how good Williamson's glove is... his arm is pretty bad.

He doesn't have even close to an elite arm.
Matt Chapman has an elite arm. Adrian Beltre had an elite arm. Geno Suarez's arm dwarfs Williamson's.

Oh right... Vogelbomb is still a moron. Who could have guessed?
