I get attached to guys too. But this time next year it all has to be straightened out. Church and Saggesse have to have third and center locked down or it’s time to move on if they’re bats arent progressing.
Church deserves to be on the team, but seems like a good fourth or fifth outfielder, IMO.
How do we upgrade Center for a few years until Condon gets here? This might be a place Bill could throw us a bone.
If it weren’t for the uncertainty of the labor contract looming, this offseason would be filled with intriguing possibilities concerning player movement. As is, I agree with Brian. It will be filled with caution. I expect nothing more than movement within the organization. Maybe some cheap fa bullpen guys.
Personally, what I’d like to see and what I think will happen are not necessarily the same. I
Could you share what those 2 scenarios are?
Condon is a long ways off.
I think they will try and get a feel for how long that might be before they spend assets on a cf. They already forked over a first round pick.
although I know there have been times in public where Mark could be kind of surly.
That and add the steroid thing in there and he just wasn’t my favorite player. I saw his 62nd hr. But I hated that year. We kind of sucked and focusing all that attention on one player instead of the team just didn’t sit right with me.
Most likely our long term starting CF is not in the organization yet.
Trevor Condon? 6th ranked prospect. I wouldn’t see them trading for or paying a fa until they get a better feel for him. Same with Josiah Ragsdale. It’s not out of the question for Church to improve his bat enough to hold the position until one of those other guys is ready.
I’m all for doing what’s best for the rebuild. But that doesn’t mean squeezing every last penny. They need to spend a bit on the bullpen and maybe a May type deal. I think they will. They’ve shown they want to protect their young pitchers arms and those moves are needed to do that. And let’s not completely forget the fans in this whole deal. Even though it’s still a rebuild year, we need to show some incremental improvements in order to have a better wl record.
I’m very excited to see where it goes.
We all should be. RR and Jesus Baez look anything like they’re supposed to and our lineup is in really great shape. as
Bling-I think most good players hate losing. I believe in winning culture. But I also believe good coaches and good team leaders don’t over react or dramatize every loss. And more importantly lack of talent is hard to overcome for any length of time in team sports.
Dirty Harry blasted the Scorpio killer with his 44
No way to know how many times I’ve seen that movie. Probably a tie with Outlaw Josie Wales.
Nice PA by Saggese. Love a bat control guy
The 2023 Texas League MVP looked horrid his first opportunity to seize a job. Looks like he thinks he may have a reprieve. He has more talent than the other guys that may be in competition with him.
Bad defense and poor fundamentals is more upsetting to me than anything else. I changed the channel.
Brian-This may have been asked and answered so I apologize if it has-But if Bernal is brought up and RR is promoted to Memphis, how does that work with their respective teams playoffs?
Dierburghs oven fried chicken with Nates pepper infused honey and cheesy Texas potatoes. Arnies Diet Half and half lemonade and tea. Nestles drumstick ice cream cone. probably 3 of those. If Lib doesnt straighten it out there’s gonna be a nap. Work tomorrow 415 comes early.
Couldn’t agree more Willie. Fact is, this is the most exiting part most of the time. Lots of disappointment involved with following prospects. Being an even average major league player, as you know, is really low odds for most of these guys. Rainiel looks special so far.
