svdude Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Great 2019, no 2020 due to cancer, but poised to be back for 2021. Was looking at some projections and he jumped out as a big outlier in CBS projections. They have him at .306/37HR/104R/100RBI/3SB (Between Yelich and Harper in Fantasy Points and 5th highest fantasy pts for OF) while steamer has him at .262/24HR/70R/71RBI/1SB. What can we expect from him in 2021? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavsfan23 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 CBS projections are horrible. They also have C.Mullins outscoring Grisham in points leagues, among many other questionable things. I do think Mancini has a good year though, and I'll definitely be rooting for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
En Votto Veritas Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Those projections are very, very generous and appear to believe that he will not suffer at all from a very serious ailment and missed year. Looks like the average of the other projections is something like: .270/.335 - 23 - 70 - 65 - 1 I will take that as a baseline and add a few more RBIs and Rs as he'll be hitting fourth behind Hays/Stewart/Santander who aren't that terrible and should be on base a decent amount, so let's say .270/.335 - 23 - 80 - 75 - 1? At pick #182 you can have Mancini at 1B or Sano/Walker/Walsh, or Mancini in OF or Kepler/Frazier/Grichuk. I think he's in fair company though I'd probably take Walker over him at 1B and Kepler over him at OF.

Sidearmer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Wait and see guy for me. Need to see him get some ABs in Spring Training to be comfortable drafting him. What he went through is rough and it would be surprising to me if he came back at full strength. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasyGeek2018 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 CBS site always has high hitting projections the first time around. There rankings are still last year ranks not going with the projections they have up. I emailed them to see when they will fix them and have not heard back. They don't even have full projections for some players. Missing Realmuto entirely from catchers list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndCitySox Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 CBS projections get better as the season approaches. They have some oddball ones until then. I remember they had Jake Cave as a top 10 player in Jan of 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuckBetweenStations Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 So dude is picking up right where he left off in 2019, and his underlying stats seem to back it up -- almost identical to 2019, except more barrels and a higher launch angle. Amazing comeback story -- let the good times roll! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheppy Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I actually did a search and the thread didn’t come up🤷♂️(on the first page at least) Anyways, he leads all of baseball with 39 RBI. The feel good story has morphed into one of serious production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, can't see them trading this guy unless they get blown away with an offer, he's going to be like Nick Markakis was to them for so many years. He'll wind up somewhere else eventually, but not for another 3-5 years. Even the Orioles have to field some quality players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 The guy isn't a free agent until after the 2022 season. I get that they can get a lot more now than during his free agent year, but that would be a hell of a slap to the faces of the fans to trade a guy making such a great comeback from cancer when he is a year and a half away from free agency.

Richard Kimble Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 21 hours ago, jfazz23 said: um, hes a FA after next year....hell be gone. might as well trade him to the brewers or something and get 2 very good prospects So there's zero chance they will approach him for an extension this summer? He won't be receptive to it? I think it's wrong to assume they are looking to cash in on him, because he's such an important part of their laughingstock team. Chris Davis is coming off the books next year, but his contract should remind people that even the Orioles spend big $ from time to time. Even if they don't extend Mancini, there are so many big name free agents out there next year, I'd expect them to make a move to sign a cornerstone guy, except they have one right here they can negotiate with now. I think he's earning it every day and they will reward him with an extension offer this summer or offseason. Do it now to avoid the inevitable cloud of a trade hanging over his head next season. If they really have no plans to sign him then yes, he will be dealt. But he seems a reasonable candidate to take a team friendly deal, as well.

mannymachado Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Mancini was hbp from cease right on the right elbow, sounded like his elbow blew up. He stayed in to run and was pulled at the bottom of the inning. I sure hope he’s ok, but that sounded bad hoping no broken bone. Where is the hamate bone? On elbow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the Orioles. Slapping their fans across the face repeatedly is what they're all about. **Not that there is anything wrong with the fans accepting/enjoying that .... this forum needs to remain free from kink-shaming.
