Surely there's room for more than 1 team in that demographic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things equal I'd probably prefer Teoscar, but Santander is a great fit for our park. My suspicion is that both guys will end up overpaid disappointments to whoever wins the bidding wars for their services. 32 minutes ago, Warehouse said: I agree on avg and stealing but their OBP has been pretty similar since 2022. 2022-2024, from Baseball Savant ML Search Tony Teoscar BB% 8.3 6.4 K% 20.5 29.6 BA .244 .265 xBA .242 .258 OBP .315 .318 xOBP .315 .313 wOBA .340 .340 xwOBA .333 .344 BABIP .257 .341 ISO .234 .209 Whiff 21.6 35.0 Yeah, I don't personally see much reason to swap out Santander for Hernandez at the end of the day, but I don't actually want to sign either guy so...

I hear LA is a pretty nice place to live if you are rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roll Tide Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) 10 hours ago, sportsfan8703 said: Right now the 2025 OF has three LHH OF in Cowser, Mullins, and Kjerstad. I’m not sure what the bench makeup of this team will be, but it looks like we’ll need 1-2 RHH options. We could bring Slater back on a small “Tony Kemp” like 1 year deal or a milb deal. With Santander leaving, and Mateo back to being in the CF mix once healthy, do we go with a more COF RHH type? Trades are a possibility as well, but here is a list of upcoming RHH OF Free Agents, id be all in on Teoscar, but the contract is probably massive. The only other guy on the list is O’Neal. If you are looking at the other I think you bring back Santander. Edited 4 hours ago by Roll Tide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, if you think Kjerstad isn't good enough to ever play OF for the Orioles, then I guess you plan to DH Teoscar 100% of the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well resign Santander if he comes at a hometown discount. I’m betting he’d do it to remain. O’Neils D-War was -.5 so maybe he’d be an acceptable option.
