Even better, got on top of a 94 mph heater up in the top of the zone and hit it 99mph to left center. Bat speed for years.

Wow, Mountcastle

Really not a fan of Blake Snell

I feel like he’ll be back at some point, no? I mean he’ll clear waivers, I’d imagine. Either way, safe travels Wojo.

I‘d love if we did that.

Yea perhaps. ‘Spose every case is a bit different.

Wouldn’t that be nice. I think it also depends on the athlete. That may be more true for those who grew up with money and don’t “need” that extra 4 mil. But if you came from nothing I imagine the psychology is very different.

That’s fair, I’ll accept that converse. Next season should tell us a lot.

I guess I don’t want to give up on him, he’s just frustrating.

Missed the throw, I was cooking, I’ll have to find it. He’s certainly a very good defender and I love the way he plays but that style of play may be a detriment to his body; he has proven he cannot stay on the field. I think .260 is a more realistic expectation, but sure, if he can stay healthy he’s a good player worthy of playing time. But he can’t stay healthy, so it’s moot to me.

Good points here. If McKenna is indeed someone the FO sees as a potential contributor that does crowd things a bit more in center

We shall see. Hope you’re right re: Hays, but I don’t see it. What has you so bullish on him?

Agree. I think its fairly probable we bring in another CFer to at least compete with Hays and Mullins. Someone in the Iglesias price range/tier. No way has either of them earned the right to be guaranteed a spot. Personally I’ve seen enough of Hays.

It’s the two first names

I think/hope DJ will be our 4th OFer/pinch hitting hero.

I would also explore extending him after this season. Could end up being a hell of a bargain.

Woohoo! I’m a huge taxidermy enthusiast

I know I am. That throw was the equivalent of a throw from like short to first and he had momentum coming in. Routine. It looked like he short armed the hell out of it, I think it’s a ‘thing’ for him.

What do I win?

Someone saying they had a better arm that him?

Disrespectful tag-up there on mountcastle. That will continue to happen. I don’t speak hyperbolically when I say that I could have made that throw. It was routine.

Gold glover

Yea RM will never play an inning of short unless we somehow revolutionize the defensive shift

I don’t think Turner will be all that expensive. Not that I want him but I bet he could be had for 2/12 or so.

I think we have a future All Star on our hands. Maybe a bit of a #wildcardsmallsamplesize, but he looks like a fixture for years to come.
