caulfield12 Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 Obviously Moncada, Lynn, Grandal, Kopech, and Hendriks not being there are some key names to watch...as well as those relatively low placements for Luis/Lucas/Eloy. No Benintendi, either. Here's hoping Vaughn and Colas can put their names on the map this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Vaugh's case I just hope he can play a full season and not burn out the last few months as he's done in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch for a team that was supposed to be dominant this season. I don't want to go back and look at Espn's 20's preview they did before 2020.

Twins have Correa, Buxton, their new Miami pitcher, Duran one of the top closers probably just missed. Only took Clase from CLE for closer with Diaz out.

Well considering he will miss at least half the season and there's only one closer in Clase on the entire list... "The White Sox … looked, back in 2020-21, like they were building a young core capable of competing for years to come. A .500, second-place finish in 2022 wasn’t exactly a disaster, but first-time manager Pedro Grifol enters a situation that’s suddenly full of questions. Can the offense thrive without José Abreu? Will Eloy Jiménez ever stay healthy? Did they really give five years to Andrew Benintendi? Is Oscar Colas ready to handle right field every day? Which version of Yoán Moncada will they get? (All of which pale, of course, in comparison to supporting Liam Hendriks as he battles lymphoma.) But beyond all that, there’s a question about the window here. Lucas Giolito and Yasmani Grandal are entering the final years of their contracts. Tim Anderson, Lance Lynn, Joe Kelly and Hendriks have club options for 2024. The farm system isn’t a strength. If not now, when? The core is young enough that it’s not exactly 2023-or-never, but this might be the last ride for this particular group." https://www.mlb.com/news/ranking-2023-team-tiers?partnerId=zh-20230324-861173-mlb-1-A&qid=1026&utm_id=zh-20230324-861173-mlb-1-A&bt_ee=nnxPEg0y%2B%2Bbjp4cMhG1asGFTJKvZsYAsQRUjNfiUi%2B5ErALKeH7EVQQyInOlEUv8&bt_ts=1679665412943 Edited March 24, 2023 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
