[Martyinnewyork]

Almost Ogonzzz again. Settle for the deep runscoring double to left center

You guys took a wrong turn and missed the game thread…

I’ve never ventured off this board…..I now see there’s a game board.

 

[Derek]

He’s from EL Cajon California……25 minutes from downtown SD

Ok, in the context of the conversation I thought you meant homegrown in the sense that he was developed in their system.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I doubt the fo passed up deals that would better the team. Not this fo.

I wonder what Christian Walker would have costed.

I'd love to take a look at Lamet in Cleveland.

I’ll pass.

 

[Urban]

I’d assume he gets snatched up before getting to us but I too would be interested in taking a flier on Lamet

Forget Lamet, that catcher has a blistering 670 OPS and .222 BA!

Hmm the guy had 18 doubles last year, Austin has a total of 8 for 2021 & 2022 combined.

Team is fun

Loving the aggressive promotions this year

Shit post but to clear up some 26 and 40 man issues....

A: Freeman, Arias, Rosario ---> one of three to be traded(preference for Rosario)

If Arias wins a muddle INF job in ST, Freeman is super utility guy at 3B, SS, and 2B. If Freeman wins the job, Arias starts at AAA?

B: Gonzalez, Jones, Benson ---> once of the three to be traded

If Benson is not the one traded, he starts at 1B + occasional days in RF and late inning defensive replacement. Naylor primarily DH

C: Reyes, Clement, Miller ---> 2 of the 3 to be traded(strong preference for it to be Reyes and Clement). Miller remains and is backup 1B/PH

Of course, if Straw is either traded or willing/capable of being the 4th OF that can change the dynamic a bit.

Say you end up trading Jones, Rosario, Clement, and Reyes. What’s the most you can get for Jones, Plesac, Rosario, and someone ranked 12-20 in our system?

Then package Reyes/Clement for a reclamation project reliever.

Hey, I said it was a shit post, didn’t I …

It's Bo:30

Fwiw, I think the future MIF is Gimenez and Rocchio…. And I don’t think it’s particularly close either.

I know they value defense up the middle but I see no way around having Kwan eventually being the everyday CF. Between Jones, Valera, Benson, Gonzalez, and maybe even guys like Freeman and Miller, that’s a lot of corner OF bats that will need legitimate looks at this level and Valera especially looks like he could be special

As much as I wanted it to be Arias, 100% right.

Anyone playing SS is just keeping the seat warm.
