Damned Mountcastle swinging at terrible pitches again.

Guy hits a pop fly for a lucky single and you sing his praises. Its okay to acknowledge he has a poor approach. Its a safe space here.

    • If I'm the Tigers I'm definitely holding out for Mayo or Basallo, for sure. So I definitely remain very skeptical that Skubal is a real possibility.  Is there a pitcher where Kjerstad as the headliner makes more sense? Fedde? Maybe Snell talent-wise, but it's too much for an expensive rental with injury issues. Hard to picture a fit with any 1-year rentals. 
    • I agree with you it's unlikely the Tigers would accept an offer that excludes one of the Orioles top three prospects. They're not in a position where they're forced to trade Skubal and can trade him next offseason or just keep him.
    • The O's probably need 2 more relievers and another #3 starter or better, but the prices are going to be outrageous.  I'm thinking that Elias just gets a backend reliever.  I hope he at least does that.  The O's gave up both their 2nd round picks in 2023 for Eflin.  The best way to find out who among your low level prospects is going to end up making it is to trade with Tampa.  Ok that's an exaggeration, but it's ok to trade in the division but try to avoid trading with Tampa and I understand why Elias did it.
    • He might be, but if he is we haven't heard about it. Bit surprising maybe. He looked pretty good over there in a tiny sample. I'm sure he stays somewhat ready for an emergency. But Hyde also has Urias. 
    • If Ced stays there really is no role for Kjerstad, especially if they're skittish about playing him in LF at home.  Maybe DH if Mountcastle goes and O'Hearn plays 1B but that (DH) could be Mayo too. I just don't believe a Kjerstad deal gets it done.  If you were the Tigers would you accept Kjerstad,  Bradfield,  Norby, Povich +? I don't see it.  
    • I know Mayo has been getting a lot of time at 1B recently but does anyone know if Santander has been fielding there at all in warmups? I’ve gotta think he’d take some starts there if we moved Mountcastle so that Kjerstad can get more looks in RF if he stays. 
    • I think they would hold before accepting Kjerstad as the headliner. I certainly would. But if they would? BRB, gotta go start the "Kjerstad Appreciation Thread."
