A quick first impression of his description is that he is a bit like a Rodriguez level talent but more of a utility man. Then again I was barely familiar with Rodriguez other than a few brief google searches recently
I guess we hope lineup updates will fix us. To an extent. But will need to plug the bullpen leak. Well need both to feel good. Expecting a starting pitcher run like 2005 in the playoffs is unrealistic. The team is sort of still raw and unfinished? So I won’t be too disappointed if we get run in the ALCS.
Rodriguez, no. Ramos, no. Burger, no. Kanny kids, no. Kopech, no. Crochet, no. Cespedes, no. Sanchez, no. Kath, no. Montgomery, no. Sheets is only possible because he’s only a first baseman. Even then I shudder
Lucroy saw the writing on the wall probably. Probably wanted an opportunity to latch on to another team while he could. But yeah, the numbers seem tough depending on how quick Grandal recovers. I would rather have him behind the plate under the microscope pressure the team is under than a rookie. Especially if he was needed in the post season.
Any of that besides Burger. Premium position upside prospect is worth more than for a 2 month rental. Thinking perhaps some of those names combined with one of our relievers previously mentioned should be the most we should do. We are good enough to hang tough . Id go Reylo, a reliever, Adolfo, Lambert. If Sheets gets involved then you might keep Lambert. But then, the the deql becomes more worthwhile.
