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.
Okay, I'll play along. Say in the offseason, the Brass come to the same conclusion. Does it then make more sense to keep Rosario one more year until Rocchio is ready in 2024(or July 23) and trade Arias at whatever his current prospect value is?
Or does it make sense to trade Rosario in the offseason, allow Arias to gain MLB experience and value, and then trade him once Rocchio is ready?
I always though part of the need/rush to trade Rosario was based on Arias having as 2023 arrival ETA. But if Rocchio is the guy and his arrival ETA is 2024, does that change things a bit?
