Stewart seems like the kind of player that ends up on the A’s or Rays and hits 30 HR with a 350 OBP

We should trade him to the Giants, I’m sure he’d do well there.

LOL, no he hasn't done anything to me personally. He is just a player that I don't enjoy watching play the game. We have way too many better prospects in the system to spend time trying to see if he m

Stewart has been absolutely killing AAA pitching, to the tune of .347/.484/.633.   Had a stint on the IL, so he’s only played in 18 games, but he has 4 homers and 12 RBI in those games.   

It would be nice to have a pinch hitter on the bench instead of Bannon.

That's great. IMO, move on. He has shown little at the ML level and has no playable position at the ML level and many players in the wings ready for their chance. He was a disappointing #1 selection.

It's possible he becomes something with another team but it's tough to see how he fits or gets another chance with this one.

Mancini traded at deadline, Stewart called up to DH because they want Stowers to play the field, hits well. 

Santander, Mullins, or Hays need to go to make room for Stowers. Also, Adley DH’s quite a bit. Hard to find full time AB’s for Stewart.  Of course, where there’s a will there’s a way. I’m just not sure how much of a will there is.

No they don’t.  You can easily play Stowers 4-5 times a week with the team as is.  Rotating guys and resting players should occur.  And I bet even if you got rid of one of those guys, Stowers is still only going to play 4ish times a week.

Good to seem him playing well. The beginning of the season was odd - No starts and pinch hit at-bats in only a handful of games before he got sent down - then hurt. Not like he failed in a fair chance.

He’s a good kid and has kept a good attitude. I think if his body type looked a little more athletic he’d get more latitude from the fan base.

Wanna bet that Stowers doesn't get called up until one of the regulars gets dealt?

I think two things about Stewart and he may have fixed both.   One, he was too passive at the plate.  He let good pitches go by.  Second, he had a little bit of a loopy swing and was missing fastballs a lot.    I saw a recent homer of his and his swing looked a little more direct to the ball.  Also, judging by his walks totals and his numbers it looks like MAYBE he's gotten a little more aggressive at the plate.

BTW, McKenna also has a loopy swing when he looks to pull and I feel that's a big reason he misses so many fastballs.

      DC is a FA. Soto and Dominguez are interesting decisions. SA is do 8M next year. Soto is under team control and likely looking at a salary in the 6.5M range.   In some ways, they sound like overpays for each. OTOH, they miss bats, can be high leverage guys and you don’t have long term commitments with either. As of now, I lean towards keeping both. I would like to re-sign DC depending on the contract. But I would still like to add another power arm. Now, that power arm could be an unproven close to ML ready prospect you get for Mullins or Mounty or OHearn. It doesn’t have to be someone you sign to a major deal. There may also be some ML relievers available for trade that makes sense. We see these teams all the time that just seemingly have power arm after power arm and we don’t have that. Elias has failed to address the pen properly imo and really, we don’t know if Felix will be the 2023 Felix going forward.  The pen has to be seen as a priority this year.    I want to see resources poured into the pitching staff and the improvement of the defense.

      So what would you offer?, For me Max 2 years with mutual option. IF its any more than that keeping him might be tough.

      The pen needs more help than just Bautista. So let’s say Santander is gone and the offense misses him…but what if the defense and pitching get better? People seem to have this narrow view of the sport that you can only win one way or with certain players.

      What's up peeps???  Lord I needed that win yesterday!!  Then the hubs and I (and about 200 other folks LOL) met Taters at a local restaurant establishment meet and greet last night.  And that was INSANE (in a good way).

      Oddly, it’s the offense that I’m worried about for next year. Theoretically, we should go back to having a dominant pen with Bautista back. That helps shorten the game from the back of the pen down.  We’ve shown the ability under this regime to be able to piece together a rotation.  Subtracting Santa from this offense will be tough.

      Yep and by saying himself, I’d say his defense has been a major disappointment
