How many of those players are out of baseball, or almost out of baseball?  Everyone except for Manny, Schoop, and Mancini.  I don't see Jones lasting much longer.  

Beckham is in Seattle’s OD lineup. Jones is starting for Az, and Caleb will be up soon. The DBacks are carrying three catchers for some reason but Caleb will see time with the big club.

I don't see how this lineup, despite its anonymity, is anything but refreshing.

Meh. It's a big step forward IMO. You will not rain on my parade this day, friend!

I'm excited to see the new faces. I really didn't watch much last year and I didn't catch any Spring Training since I was busy with classes. It's a new era today. I'm not expecting much this season but I'm happy because baseball is back which means warmer weather and there's no sport I love talking about more than baseball.

I just saw Beckham had made SEA, pretty sure he signed a milb deal.  So really close to not being a MLBer.  Just think about the whole set of position players from last year's OD roster.  Even Rasmus, Valencia, and Trumbo aren't in the MLB.  Sisco is in the minors.  So only Machado, Schoop, Jones, Beckham, Mancini, and Rickard, made 2019 OD roster.  7/13 position players did not.

No argument there. Last year’s team was a total fiasco, and part of my fury at Dan(yes, still an idiot) and Buck and whomever else was responsible is that it was so avoidable. You’ve got to work really hard to have a team as bad and as inflexible as that one was.

I think Jackson should play vs LHP, whether that is spelling Ruiz, Smith, Mullins, or Davis. Lots of options but he should be in the game somehow.

I would be surprised if Jackson isn't the platoon for Mullins this year. It's a good way to give him ABs.

Trumbo would have made it if he wasn't on the DL.  Whether he and Davis deserve to start on a MLB roster is another matter.

Last year's OD lineup:

Chris Davis - 1B
Manny Machado - SS
Jonathan Schoop - 2B
Adam Jones - CF
Trey Mancini - LF
Tim Beckham - 3B
Pedro Alvarez - DH
Craig Gentry - RF
Caleb Joseph - C

 

The last three batters are now in the minor leagues.

Only two players make an appearance on this year's OD lineup. 

Ah yes, the Chris Davis leadoff experiment. It's a miracle we even won 47 games.

I'm a little surprised that people would have issues with Mullins being at the top of the lineup. First off, it's not like Hyde has a ton of great options. Second, why not? He may ultimately be a lower order platoon or 4th outfielder, but I think too many people are burying him because of a bad batting average this spring and his cold September.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      What he's been able to do at the plate has been a nice pick-me-up for the a team that has had multiple hitters struggling at the same time. For me though, watching how he's handled 2B this season has been a treat. The tag on the SB attempt last night was a play that not all 2B make.    There's been times I would have traded or released him for nothing, but right now I'm really glad he's still here.

      If he stays right where he is right now hitting .245, he has very nice value. On pace for a 3-4 war season. As a secondary piece, that’s huge.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Adding relievers should be the priority, but that doesn't mean Elias won't look to strengthen our staff or add a hitter as well.  I'm not expecting us to trade for Luzardo, but it's a possibility with the injuries that our staff has been through.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Luzardo is a really interesting target. On one hand, he is your Burnes replacement. A guy with high end starter potential (although less of a sure thing than Burnes) who you would have for 2 more years. OTOH, it feels like he could be a ticking time bomb…and yes you can say that about most pitchers but some are worse than others. Im not sure im giving up Povich or McDermott in a Luzardo deal because we just don’t have much depth right now after them. A year or 2 from now, the depth has the potential to look a lot better but we aren’t there yet. Besides the obvious 3 prospects, DeLeon, Povich and McDermott are the next 3 guys I really want to keep if possible. Everyone else is on the table although I certainly would prefer to use other intl guys vs Liranzo and Sosa. Using some kind of combo of Kjerstad, Stowers, Norby, Fabian, any of the veteran OFers/OHearn/Mounty and any of the draft picks from last year are amongst the group of guys I would be looking to move first.  Try to build a package(s) around that group of players and see what you can come up with.

      Maybe John Means could masquerade as a healthy Chayce McDermott. https://www.milb.com/player/chayce-mcdermott-694646

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By BohKnowsBmore · Posted

      I’m not sure trading for an impact starter is best use of resources. We still have six starters at the MLB level in Burnes, Bradish, GRod, Irvin, Kremer, and Suarez. Then Povich looks like he deserves a shot if needed.    Burnes, Bradish, GRod are the obvious playoff trio.    further injuries would change things, obviously, but at the moment I don’t see a clear need (and would have to pay handsomely for an upgrade). If someone would want Kremer as a part of the package, then maybe it makes sense.

      When Kremer comes back you have Burnes, Bradish, GRod, Kremer, Irvin Suarez in the bullpen.  Povich and McDermott at Norfolk. Absent further injury I don’t see Elias doing what it would probably take for Luzardo.  The relievers like Scott, Harvey, etc. will be cheaper.
