Leaders in the clubhouse:

Chris Davis 11.9 rWAR*

Matt Harvey 10.0 

Freddy Galvis 8.8

Trey Mancini 7.1

John Means 6.9

Is it one of these five players who ends up having the best career of anyone currently on our roster (including the IL), or does one of the younger players surpass these guys when it’s all said and done?

No listing of minor leaguers even if on the 40 man roster.   

* Props to SteveA for reminding me that Davis was once a good player and that he’s on the IL.   I left him off this list initially.   I’m still having a hard time thinking of him as someone who’s had a good career, given how miserable he’s been the last four seasons.

I think you left Chris Davis off your list.

LOL, you’re right!   He actually tops the list at 11.9 rWAR, which is down from 17.6 at the end of 2016.   It’s hard for me to think of him as having had a “good career” at this point, but I guess you have to give him credit for his good seasons.

Boy there’s sure not much competition is there.

Means is the obvious choice but I’d put Santander second. He has injury issues just like Hays, but I don’t think his are as bad as Hays’.

And I think Santander is going to have a long steady stable career of 2-3WAR per season.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers

      I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
