@FinestCitySD Was never on board with the lockout. Baseball is the only sport i truly care about but if this happens I honestly would not mind. Barring they extend him.
Dennis mentions Padres looking for a lefty bat preferably in LF. One of the names he mentions is Mickey Moniak. He’s probably my favorite target because he’s shown success at Petco. Something that I do think is important because it’s a brutal place for lefties to hit at. Someone like Arraez suffered a lot because of Petco nullifies hits.

He’s going to strike out and not walk much but give me the slug trade off. I’m looking for someone to slot in the 2 hole with more juice than Crone. 126 wRC+ vs righties since coming to Rockies. Important because opposing managers are less likely to bring in a lefty reliever when you’re sandwiched in between 3 righties like Tatis, Manny, and France. Moniak is under control for another season after this one so cost shouldn’t be too crazy. There’s definitely risk with this profile but I’m down to bring home the hometown kid.
