Its not like he needs to relearn how to play CF. He does need to be challenged at the plate tho. I see no reason to leave him where young pitchers just work around him.
He should be one of the top RF fa this fall. It would make sense for the FO to give him a QO because he will get a 3-4 yr deal in the $70M range. For us, he is replaceable and an extra draft pick will be a nice addition to our farm system.
Great to see some top prospects tearing it up!!! Would be nice to see Jenkins get an August promotion to Iowa! Keaschall looks like he is getting bored in wichita….
4th team in the AL to reach 50 wins. Not bad after the 7-13 start. Twins remain on a roll and will likely reach 96 wins or so if the injury bug stays away.
Miranda, 13 straight ob with just the HBP in there with 12 hits. Super cool!!!
Looks like zero FA position player signings. AK is the comeback wild card and Erod is the rookie wild card. Next years roster will look alot like what we have going now minus the 4 vets that will be gone.
Payroll may go down even further if arbitration sides with the FO and no FA are signed. The core will be older but also under contract. I anticipate Castro and Lewis may sign deals that buy out their arbitration years.
Its going to be a very consistent lineup of flexibility. The Pitching will also be very similar but with a possible big name added at some point.
We cant go too much deeper in reserves/AAA guys or we get a decline in talent that will be forced to play daily. Farmer and Margo have had disappointing seasons so far. Something will have to be done if everyone gets healthy at the same time in August/Sept. it always work’s itself out tho.
We are winning more than last year and people are down on this team. Some people just can’t be happy. So many positives about this team! People need to relax and enjoy the show!!
