The more I read up on this guy the more I'm intrigued I am especially if he's a high exit velocity guys as some have heard. Ugly swing but generates productive bat to ball contact consistently. Some believe his upside is 20 homers power wise so if his power develops, his hit tool, speed, and plus defensive abilities in center field should make him at worse a 4th outfielder, but with a chance to be a solid major league average CFer.
Seatle is near the bottom in most offensive categories (other than walks) -- 27th in both runs scored and OBP. If Kremer doesn't hold this lineup to a couple of runs over four or five innngs (I'm assuming a pitch limit around 50-75), he's probably not ready to pitch in MLB.
Oh I see . If that bothers or concerned them , they could have shop him for any value . I don’t like our team letting our players walk for free . But this is the A’s we’re talking about
If we could get Kirby for Holliday, I think I would do that. Kirby isn’t a free agent until 2029. Holliday could be great but he could also be Jurickson Profar or Andrew Benintendi. And don’t tell me how great Profar is this year, he has bounced around for a reason. The concern with Holliday is his lack of a carrying skill. I thought it was his hit tool, but his inability to defend himself against all sorts of pitches at the MLB level makes me doubt he has a superior hit tool as people claimed. More likely, he benefited from a superior eye that allowed him to hit mistake pitches. In the majors, that doesn’t work as well.
I agree with you that his voice is audible to everyone ( mostly) on this forum . The only little detail is that I happen to be deaf . That’s why my settings have closed captioning on and I depend on reading , not voices
Philip , I get your point about Seattle not trading ANY pitching due to weak pitching in their farm system . They can’t match or fit our pitching needs , etc . All that I understand .
My question pertains only about Seattle , not the Orioles . Say you’re the GM of Seattle, how or what would you do to upgrade your offensive bats ? What trade assets do you have to offer to other teams ?
