Santander this year, FG projects him at 29 ill take him for 11 more for his career high in his contract year. 

It’s not that easy to “dial it up” just because he’s in a contract year.  These guys are in a competitive situation every year.  Their Arb awards directly relate to how well they perform.  There are just as many guys who have down years in their walk year as up years.

The last three years in MLB there have been 5, 4 and 6 players who have hit 40 homers.  It’s a very difficult thing to do in today’s offensive environment.   I’d bet against any particular player doing it, though Henderson, Kjerstad, Msyo and Basallo all have the raw power to do it.  I really doubt Mayo will do it unless he’s traded or the dimensions of OPACY are changed again.

So,  who is our next 40 HR guy?  And in what year?

I don’t see any of the guys doing it, it’s just a high mark. But I could definitely see a scenario by ‘25 or ‘26 where we have 5 guys that hit 25 or more.

      Take this comment as being rude. But there is zero and I mean ZERO chance our starting 1st baseman and 4 hitter is traded.

      Nolan Hoffman has 15 straight scoreless IP in AAA. What do we make of him?

      I’ve been intrigued by him since we drafted him. The k rate and ground ball rate is nice. Still a pretty high walk rate (5+ per 9). I wouldn’t mind him getting a look at some point, similar to krook, just to see how his stuff plays. We don’t have a ton of high k guys in the pen. His ability to provide length isn’t a bad thing either.

      I’m a bit confused by this post. Rainer is projected to be gone by 12 at the latest. He’s not going to be there at 22, and would be a huge OVERSLOT if he somehow was there. Mentioned in the same sentence as bonemer who was projected as a first round pick at one point but has fallen significantly. He could be an underslot, but the value of going underslot isn’t nearly as high at 22 as it is in the top 10 where you can save significant money.    I also don’t get the connection with Griffen and morlando. Griffen is like Rainer, almost sure fire top 10. Morlando hasn’t really been mocked as a first round pick at all lately. I would be shocked if morlando was not there at 22, but would also be pretty disappointed with him as the pick given there’s a decent chance he’s a lf or 1b only prospect who hasn’t lived up to hitting expectations this year.    that also seems like a real reach for Franco given where he’s ranked and mocked the last few months. If we take a hs outfielder, Slade Caldwell is the one I’d be interested in. Seen a comp or two to Corbin Carrol wi th a little less pop, which wouldn’t be bad to take a shot on and see what our development can do with.

      I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter

      We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown.
