Funny thing is, the town he's from (Buford, GA) is still pretty conservative and redneck in parts, even though it has gotten a little broader/more diverse over the years.  His current look would still stand out a bit back home!

I was actually really impressed with the different parts of Georgia in my trip there last summer. So green. Parts of it reminded me of the Pacific Northwest.

@Revad gave me a nice little tour of the surrounding area and he lives on a lake front property which was really nice.

Schanuel looks like he has absolutely no power whatsoever

He did in college, but so far in the minors and in his brief stint in the majors, he hasn't driven the ball or gotten much lift yet.  He's a pretty big dude, though, so hopefully that'll come soon.

I think they'll work with him in the offseason. 

I also welcome him to work out with me 3-4 times a week to get his arms, legs and core built up. Let's go!

I can feel the mosquito bites just reading this.

Who thinks Moniak should spend sometime at Driveline this off season? Maybe he'd learn to take a walk and hit southpaws.

@Swordsman78 okay i'll go easier on Nevin since i doubt he has been sleeping well most of this season...

My guess is that  he sleeps quite well knowing he will most likely be extended.   Then maybe you can save your fire for the other teams.  We prefer to support our club on this site. 

Thank you in advance.

drury with that over .300 w/risp is a keeper in 24

[daygloman]

Far out!

Go Halos!

[No Roles]

i say drury and urshela both exceeded expectations this year...that is one bright spot of the halos 23' season...

[Mark68]

Giolito fitting right in with his inability to get a shut-down inning. 

[daygloman]

FUUUUUUUUUUCK!

[jsnpritchett]

Ugh, Giolito had been cruising since the Turner HR, then walked Turner and gave up a 2-run shot to Harper.  There goes the lead again.

[No Roles]

harper the assassin ...errrrr 

[Chuck]

[Mark68]

Well, this inning is starting out well. Walk, homer, walk...

[jsnpritchett]

Giolito has given up 10 HR in the 4th inning in his 27 starts this year.  That's absurd.

[jsnpritchett]

Whoever pays Giolito ace-level money this off-season is gonna regret it.

I don't think anybody was paying him ace-level money this offseason.

YAY moniak digged in and got a triple...unlike grichuk unable to score from 1st with a 2 out double

I'm sorry, but Cabbage is not a major league player.  He now has 22 K and zero BB in 40 plate appearances.
