Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Ohhhhh yes...

Someone posted an early 2022 eligible list back in late November. Reposted here for reference purposes...

Not going to poke that bear completely - but Jose Baez is JRam's brother...

Edited to say that Dayan Frias is a good looking MIF prospect and one we never/rarely talk about..

So the lockout is over, free agency and trades are open, the Rule 5 draft is canceled and yet this is the most active thread in the space? Weird.
 
We got Myers and probably Pilkington because of R5 considerations.

In addition to the losses, and as stated earlier, the biggest concern is that we had to put some guys on the option clock earlier than is optimal. The big one may be Noel, who probably won't be MLB ready until he is down to one option.

He will be in Akron sometime this year. Next year AAA ... but after tgat why not bigs without 3rd option. No one else is close to blocking him but Jones...

Is Noel a 3B, 1B or OF going forward?

You are right Noel will be AA this year and IMO sooner than later. If he does what he did 2021 he could finish the year in AAA.

I do expect some aggressive assignments, but Noel starting in LC sounds right.

Noel is 1B for us ... never played OF for us. First 2 years 2/3rd 1B and 1/3rd 3B. Last year more 3B but 5 of 6 error at 3rd fielding in .93 range vs .98 at first. We have enough mifs to keep him at 1st.

Jones plays where there us a hole ... not stellar at any one but good enough w SS HS background.
