One more for #hottaketuesday: I'd love to see the same art style from Dragon Quest VII Reimagined in the next Zelda game. I'd also be cool with a hyperrealistic Zelda. #zelda #whatsnext #twohottakesforthepriceofone

🔥 Hot Take Tuesday: Every company knows what the role pays before they post it. Hiding the range is not a negotiation tactic. It is a screening tool to find people willing to accept less. #hottaketuesday #salarytransparency #jobsearch #hiring

Is #hottaketuesday a thing? Let's roll with it, here are the three best Zelda songs:
1. Song of Storms
2. Midna's Lament
3. Bolero of Fire

STRONG honorable mention goes to Fi's Farewell.

🔥 Hot Take Tuesday: Companies using AI to reject candidates who used AI to apply is not ironic. It is the system working exactly as designed: to process volume, not find talent. #hottaketuesday #jobsearch #hiring #AI

This #hottaketuesday, we're in on John Gil; he's in the top 50 for us! Gil is a well-rounded RHH SS who upped both his contact % and ISO in A-ball at age 19. He struggled in his AA cameo, but he's previously overcome level-up struggles. More pop would take him to the next level!

Arjun Nimmala’s future projection shows a 98% chance of being a Contributor, a 72% chance of becoming a Regular, and a 72% chance of reaching Star level — one of the strongest probability profiles in the system.
Relative Statistics, measured in standard deviations from the league mean, are headlined by elite developmental speed (+1.94), paired with well-above-average gap power (+0.89) and home-run power (+0.74). He also shows positive lift (+0.48), supporting a power-friendly batted-ball profile. While his plate discipline (–0.21), contact (–0.11), and strikeout avoidance (+0.16) sit closer to average, none meaningfully detract from the overall projection.

The full shape resembles a high-ceiling shortstop bat — similar in form to Marcelo Mayer (2023) — with both the tools and statistical foundation to anchor a lineup if the approach continues to mature.

This #hottaketuesday, stay high on Nimmala! He faded from the spotlight after a slow finish, but the underlying numbers still look good. He cut a poor ~30% K% in '24 to 21.4% in '25, and has + pop for a then 19 YO. If he can up his lift and pull in '25, look out!

Oyster Analytics prospect card for Xavier Isaac (TBR).
Contributor chance: 48%.
Regular chance: 48%.
Star chance: 45%.
Ranked #57 overall and #3 prospect in Tampa Bay’s system.

Relative Statistics (standard deviations from league average):

Developmental Speed: +1.49

Discipline: +1.81 (elite)

Avoid K: –1.03

Contact: –0.33

Gap Power: –0.10

Home Run Power: +1.91 (top-tier)

Lift: –0.06

Overall profile: extremely advanced plate discipline and big raw HR power, with some swing-and-miss and average-ish contact skills.

Career Outcome Probabilities:
Bar chart shows a wide distribution with unusually high Star probability (45%), reflecting a real ceiling outcome. Contributor/regular likelihoods cluster around 0.5–1.5 WAR per season, with tail outcomes extending up to ~3 WAR.

Player Comp: Ryan Clifford (2025).
Confidence Meter: Mostly green, indicating solid model certainty.

This #hottaketuesday, we beg you to buy the power of Xavier Isaac! He missed most of '25 after a "life-saving" brain operation, and he's an elite power man and walker. He showed contact progress in AA in '25, reversing backslides from '24. Still only 21, we expect big things!

A downward-sloping curve starting near 70% and declining toward 0% by 5 WAR per season, indicating mid-level MLB potential with modest star probability.

For this #hottaketuesday, we have a mystery player! His closest comps are the solid company of Franklin Arias, Colt Emerson, and Miguel Vargas, and he's been a solid hitter at the R and A levels. Unheralded and unranked by most, we think he's got a great shot. Who is this player?

This #hottaketuesday, we encourage you to remain higher than high on Franklin Arias! While his overall numbers weren't incredible, he held his own in A-AA with elite contact numbers. An 89.1% contact rate in '25 is standout, and with age comes power. Top 5 prospect potential!

Another #hottaketuesday for you ➡️ most mobile observability solutions aren't actually built for mobile.

The founding team at bitdrift knows this well. While they were at Lyft, they needed a mobile-specific solution, but nothing out there worked – so they built bitdrift.

This #hottaketuesday we're in @nationals.com land, claiming that Daylen Lile will have a higher career wRC+ than Dylan Crews. Why? Lile is younger and has maintained a solid hit tool and growing power through the levels, while Crews' early stats match our negativity on his hit tool. Thoughts?

We've taken a break from our #hottaketuesday segment, but we're hopping on board with this one: Mikey Romero is the @RedSox best prospect NOT named Anthony or Mayer. Once ranked 5th in the org by MLB Pipeline, he's fallen to the early teens in the rankings, but we still buy!
