He's been a very streaky player throughout his career, seems to be on quite a heater now.  Fascinated to see who gets the call first between him and Ortiz.

I agree; will be very interesting to see how this works out.  But without an injury or two to our major league infielders, I'm not sure how Westburg, Norby, or Ortiz make it onto the roster no matter how good their stats are.  And even if they do, I don't see Hyde putting Frazier on the bench for one of the prospects, no matter how bad Frazier's numbers are...

Westburg with his 9th HR in the 1st inning. OPS 1.015 now for the year.

I was bored, so I used B-R season stats for Norfolk/Tidewater Tides.  As a AAA affiliate, here are the top 5 HR seasons: 5. (tie) 25- Bill McNulty 1973 Tidewater Tides 5 . (tie) 25-Ryan Moun

Which is why many of us were so against the Frazier signing.

Westburg really has all-fields power.  

He does and he probably has more than most but if you’ve noticed, most of our prospects are good at going oppo for homers.  Mayo is about the only one I can think of who hasn’t incorporated it yet.

Of the newer guys Fabian seems like pull power only as well.

I've always been skeptical of Westburg's left-side defense, but it's looking more and more like he has the bat for 1B if need be

If the bat plays, you'd think a SS / Middle Infielder could be a plus 1B.

I'd honestly prefer Westburg to Mountcastle at 1B both now and long-term. If Mountcastle can be traded for decent value, a lineup with Mullins, Adley, Cowser, Gunnar, Westburg, Ortiz, and eventually Kjerstad later this season would be hell for opposing pitcher's pitch counts.

If Westburg could learn 1B, it would certainly solve the middle infielder surplus until Holliday is ready. Would mean moving on from Mountcastle but I'm ok with that.

Gunnar (3B)... Mateo (SS)... Ortiz (2B)... Westburg (1B)

If Mountcastle can't be traded for "decent value", do you move him anyway to make room for those that are ready??

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.

      Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
