What if Mancini/Santander/Núñez are actually this good?

Mancini .280/.339/.534

Santander .304/.344/.509

Nunez .256/.326/.521

That is really a pretty nice 2/3/4.    Mancini and Núñez have been doing it pretty much all year.    Santander has kind of come out of nowhere, though he looked like he had the potential for this if things went right when we chose him in the Rule 5 draft.    

If this turned out to be about the norm for those three, that would be a decent offensive core to build around.   Santander has shown himself to be a decent defender, too.

Or maybe he is.  *shudder*

I don’t think it was Markakis who came up with that.   I probably heard that 30-40 years ago.   And Nick would have been better off staying who he was before he reached 1500 at bats.

Not on your short list, Severino has an OPS+ of 117.

FWIW Markakis said it takes 1500 ABs to figure out who you are.

You could also make a case for Severino.

.279/.345/.477/.823

Though I guess drafting Rutschman kinda takes him out of the equation. I wonder what kind of trade value Severino will have this winter if he finishes strong.

But-- we still need two good catchers. Sisco is more of the question mark, or a third option.

I thought it was Terry Crowley who said it.

Severino is 25 and has .5 rWAR for his career

Sisco is 24 years old and has .6 rWAR for his career

I don't see where one is more of a question mark over the other.  Severino has played more but both are under 500 at bats.

      Well McCann will catch 2 games this series and 6-9 leave a lot to be desired.

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      He is 28 innings past his career high IP for a season…it’s mid June. Don’t get me wrong, I like him. But I’d be very wary of trading for him and relying on him down the stretch as he will pretty easily get close to 3x his career high for IP shy of an injury or getting shut down / sent to the pen.

      Os claim Levi Stoudt

      They look like they already tinkered with his knuckle curve.  Not as much break but still sharp and he was actually pretty consistent with it.  It’s a SSS but his overall control looks much better with Seattle.

      I mean, he's not a closer. That's on Seattle for trying to use him like that in a 1-0 game. He's a solid middle reliever, but shouldn't be overextended into high leverage like that.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      I had never heard of Luke Dickerson before.  His HS is about an hour away from me.  Baseball America does a top 500 ranking.  I thought I’d find him in the top 100.  Nope.  I searched by “Luke” and he popped up at #311.  That’s some late riser!   Here’s the write up.   Is he supposed to be in top 2 rounds consideration? 311. Luke Dickerson SS Ht: 6'0" | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Age: null School: Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. Commit/Drafted: Virginia Age At Draft: 18.9 Dickerson has been one of the better offensive performers among high school hitters in the northeast, which along with his athleticism has piqued the interest of scouts. Dickerson, who won a hockey state championship in March, has a strong, compact frame and plus speed. Scouts highest on him see an offensive-minded righthanded hitter who has shown solid feel for hitting and for the strike zone with the ability to use the middle of the field, along with an uptick in power production this spring. Dickerson has played shortstop but has experience in the center field as well, with second base or the outfield potential fits for him long term.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Santander has not had an off day since 5/30. Tomorrow would be would a good day to gives Stowers a RF start and Santander a bench day. Did it yesterday with Mounty it also could work with Hays or Mullins. The could easily get him 3 or 4 starts a week, whether or not they do is another question.
