@Christian_NYYST of the list of names, that actually have been mentioned, who do we actually want?
arraez - yes, causes issues w Jazz.
Adley- sure, hes on IL.
Goodman - sure but not great def and whats the cost? Abrams - the bat yes, but bad defense.
Neto - why?
@GarysheffieldJr havent really loved many if the names being kicked around. id prefer us not empty the farm for less than premium talent (i.e. skubal/miller) so agree, move Grish and one of Jazz/Mc. volpe can prob handle 2b. be nice if we could move Rodon
@BillRenaud3@BryanHoch my personal exp w similar situation is i hit a line drive to Lf, runner on 1st slides in safe to 2nd and then falls off the back of bag and tagged. was marked a hit and out after the FC. so it seems reasonable that he reached 3b safely and slide inadvertently cont his path tohome
@BillRenaud3@BryanHoch so does a slide change the verbiage of overrunning? genuinely curious. seems sort of open to interpretation or less than certain. especially considering a slide happens so often. idk the written rules verbatim.
@CNorthrop86490 so lets talk arraez! who absolutely would be a diff maker for us. he wants to play 2b. so u have to move jazz. then hes expiring which cash doesnt love. it would be admitting he was wrong not signing him in FA.
@CNorthrop86490 to answer that, you have to start by asking yourself:
a) who do you really want? not only this season but past.
b) is there a difference maker being talked about?
then theres the financial implications to be considered. we cant dole out lombard, kilby, lagrange & ERC for mids
@Robertinno53 i was at games 6 & 7 on Hou in 17. frustrating loses there too. i could have caught the ball Reddick robbed in RCF too... i would have been kicked but it would have been worth it if we got the HR lol
@Robertinno53 i hope we get you that 30! i too am having a hard time seeing a path to 28 right now. the AL is only part of the equation. idk if ive ever seen a group of guys who are never healthy like this franchise
@Robertinno53 some hindsight 20/20 i guess. not getting Cole from Pitt, ended up brutal. we prob should have won in 17. Stanton, Hicks, Rodon, Donaldson, Voit, Verdugo, Rizzo last deal, no franchise ss, and a bevy of SP failures... FO has done a pitiful job identifying problems & solutions
