    It needs the NL to get the DH, so Santander can save McCutchen's legs, but if we have OF/SP excess, want longer term IF pieces and don't want to punt 2022 yet, Santander for Kingery and Means for Kieboom give a pair of infielders that their present Win Now holders don't seem to want to use in the infield.

    Or if the Phillies want to keep 2B Kingery, does Santander and/or Segura salary relief and/or bullpen help get Spencer Howard on to the table.  Dombrowski's team today is probably worsening compared to the division year over year and might flirt with last place anyway.

    If I had to guess one longer term player to move in the next few weeks, I would probably guess Kieboom somewhere for Scherzer's walk year.   I am ready to rag the in-laws about how by next year Baltimore is a better spot for Max's sunset years than Washington.

    You’re saying Means for Kieboom?  You’re dreaming

    Why?

    A week means nothing.

    All it does is make his life less comfortable as he deals with the hassle of moving and different team mates and coaches.

    He has three years of college ball and a half a season of instructional camp that they can base things off of.

    I honestly can't wrap my head around why you think he should go play in A ball. 

    He wasn't some toolsy but unrefined project they picked.

    What could possibly happen in a week or two at A ball that would mean anything?]

    If he goes 0-for, it means nothing.

    If he hits .500, it means nothing.

    When he inevitability does something between those two poles, it means nothing.

     

    Yeah what, A ball?  If it wasn’t for contract rigamarole, dude should be the starting catcher to start the year.

    From 2000 - 2016, there have been 17 college bats taken in the first 5 selections.   Only 2 of them did not play in the majors,  Matt Clement and Tony Sanchez.  So 15 out of 17 made it= 88%.   Of the 15, 13 have been quality players sands Ackley and Zunino.  So with  a 13/17 = 76%, the hit rate is far above any other type of selection ( hs- p,h or col- p).  With this empirical data, imho the O’s should select either Torkelson or Martin who both have a 60 hit rating.

     

     

    Tony Sanchez was the catcher taken by the Pirates right?  He played in the majors but was a bust.
