  1. Kinda feel for this guy.  813 PA in AAA now at 23 years old.  Hitting well but not enough to make you go wow I guess.

    I hope someone throws him a nice party when he gets to 1,000 this year.

  2. I'm assuming Abreu had to consent to being sent back to the minors right?   I feel it's pretty rare when something like that happens with an established vet.

    I give a year buffer before judging new owner, coach, GM in any circumstance. My initial report is the guy loves himself and the spotlight. He is also missing the tone of this fan base. We don’t need an owner taking spotlight from these players. Gunnar, Adley, Westburg, Cowser, Burnes are enough entertainment value on a nightly basis. Let’s get working on long term contracts, MASN fixed and stadium renovations going. I also say let’s look at tailgating for Thursday-Saturday.

    Seems like in reality your 'buffer' for not judging the owner lasted about 30 days.

    Santander also has terrible stats vs. Cortes and has been making some truly awful swing decisions lately. I had thought this would be a good day to play Kjerstad in RF.

    But then you would have to start Kjerstad vs a left-handed Starter when Kjerstad has historically hit lefties well in his minor league career.  (.880 OPS vs LHP in 2023 in minors)

    It might be the defensive piece that they are more worried about, idk.

  5. Turns out Dillon Tate has an option.   So that is what they are going to do.

    Hmmmmm.  I detect something else going on strategically here.  Maybe Elias expects another IL move shortly that will let them recall Tate before the minimum timeframe passes?

  6. I think it's worth giving Kimbrel some major props so far.   He has been far more dominant that I expected in the early going.

    11 innings, a WHIP of 0.64.........striking out almost 14 per 9 is fantastic.   

    He has allowed 5 hits so far all season............all singles.

    The run he allowed last night was off of a single and a 2 base error.  The one blown save was off of a bloop hit, two steals, and a sac fly.

    The bottom line is that opposing hitters haven't been squaring him up well at all yet and although he certainly won't be THIS dominant all year long he has far exceeded our expectations I think and man wouldn't it be nice to have a tricky decision about picking up his option for 2025 with Bautista also coming back.

  7. This thread has been pretty quiet.  Guess that's understandable.  Hard to get incredibly excited about pick #30.

    For what it's worth........  the latest mock on ESPN has us taking Darius Robinson (EDGE) with our pick.
