I actually think it should be Cowser. If you are serious about Kjerstad getting playing time, Mullins and Cowser are redundant.

Even with his slump, I think Cowser is a better bet going forward than Mullins or Hays right now. But regardless, unless they are going to have Mateo or Hays be the backup CF, they need Cowser or someone else in his roster spot for that. And I don’t think they’re willing to put Mateo or Hays out there in CF because they’ve been running Mullins or Cowser out there against LHP all year.

I’d like to see them play Mateo in CF so they can have Hays LF, Westburg 2B and Mayo or Urias 3B against LHP. But there hasn’t been any indication that’s on the table.

I'd like to see Mayo up and up soon but I think they do a Gunnar 2022 and bring him up late enough in the season to get a whiff, retain ROY status for 2025 and he's starting next year.  

Urias is gone either at the trade deadline this year or in the offseason.  Gonna be hard for Holliday to crack an infield of Mayo, Gunnar, Westburg and Mounty.

376 to LF in OPACY is a shallow fly ball!

In that spot, it’s likely a homer.  It’s 333 down the line and then 384 where the angle of the wall changes.  From the looks of that ball, it would have been left of the 384 marker where the wall gets shorter rapidly.

I was joking, he pulled it down the line. Not that I have any worries at all about him pulling balls in OPACY, enough of them will clear it when he gets into one.

Agreed. If Mayo can handle 3B defensively, then Holliday needs to learn to play CF. That’s actually seems to me to be the ideal scenario. Solves all the foreseeable longterm problems. Otherwise, Mayo needs to learn to play RF this offseason with Westburg moving to 3B and Jackson playing 2B.

Yeah I fully expect Urias to be part of a trade for pitching. Maybe he helps soften the prospect blow a little bit.

    • 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.
