I wonder who we get.

    • I do feel Norby and Stowers alone could bring us a good reliever
    • They have no value at moment, but Hays might be on the verge of a heater, and Santander is a guy that could get hot for two weeks and be back over .800 OPS
    • Thought this might be the year we actually see Elias take a college arm in the 1st round
    • I think the club already knows if it is going to pitch him Wednesday or Friday next week, and the handling may tilt a little based on that.    I'd imagine some of that they are looking at Suarez, Povich or whoever the 6th starter would be against the Red Sox or Rays. Tyler Wells happening to be sturdy enough to throw a baseball again moments after John Means breaks down definitely doesn't seem suspicious, I suppose if he progresses well he could also sponge some innings in June.
    • So what happens if there’s a pop up right above second base with a runner on second? Can the runner stay on the bag, or does the runner have to move off of second base and risk getting doubled up anyway just to avoid an interference call?    Nevermind, I found it. However, a runner is not obligated to vacate a base he is legally permitted to occupy to allow a defender the space to field a batted or thrown ball in the proximity of said base.   I feel like there should be an addition to that that says the runner is allowed to return to the base without it being interference. Was Vaughn supposed to wait until after Henderson caught it before trying to return to the base? He would have just been doubled up anyway. 
    • Not when he’s been working as a RP and throwing 95 MPH, but if he doesn’t find that fastball velo again then I would agree. I had thought 2021 Wells was gone, but he came back as a RP at the end of last year and was throwing 94/95 again. He will always be an extreme fly ball pitcher, but he’s had much better bat-missing stuff out of the pen.
    • I get where you are coming from and love the potential talents of our top four prospects as well. The problem that I see with this approach is that we may be forfeiting a potential promising chance for this season in order to maybe have a better one some years down the line. The issue with this is that the clock is ticking on Adley and Gunnar while we continue to hedge/hold. Also, something worth considering is that Basallo/Mayo/Kjerstad are likely going to be vying to fill the same spots - 1B/DH/maybe RF? Plus Kjerstad will no longer be a prospect next year (given his age) so it's kind of now or never in terms of extracting value from him vying trade. Next season Kjerstad will be 26, Stowers 27, and Norby 25. AND Adley will be (aged 26) in year 4 and Gunnar and Westburg in year 3.
