Jace looks like a linebacker to me. Hope he hits like one in the Majors.

I’m sure you’re correct and I agree having both is outstanding. I think we got McMonigle with money saved from passing on Langford. Not sure if that’s correct but in my mind it was two for one.

I think he is better than Clark.

He’s a Boras client heading to free agency. Enjoy him while you can. I would be at least doing due diligence about what he could bring on trade.

Can he drive in 5 runs in one game like Baez. 😊

Yes. Which is why you have to play him through 2025. The upside potential is worth waiting for. Even as a DH.

No regrets in taking him. No brainer at the time. The regret is his underperforming. We just have to play it out probably through 2025.

Probably not but the decline is just crazy.

All valid and appreciated. But there are exceptions to every rule and what our coaches are doing is not working. Maybe he just is a National League player? Is that possible. Is there another bad contract we can swap him with ?

Probably but until we make that trade it’s Javey

Please no. Ok for a game or two but defensively he’s not a shortstop in my estimation.

Javeys to young for the Abreu treatment and who would play shortstop ?

Well they should stop that. Let him rip. I’ll trade a non existing obp for some slugging.

Ok thanks 😊

Do we have any true power hitters in our system ? Jung ? Miguel has left his imprint..Singuelio..

Well I have supported Baez more than almost anyone on this board but it has reached a boiling point. But I still wouldn't release him until we have an acceptable replacement player. You can not expect an owner to eat 85 million dollars with the chance he plays better someplace else or worse harms your team in the process. However if Baez has "checked out" then you are forced into corner. Do you think Baez has given up ?

What about Jackson Holiday ?

So I turned on MLB online late today and say the 2-0 score and thought" didn't they score one run yesterday" to quickly realize that we lost again today and shut out AGAIN. To Miami. wow. just wow.

That's good point. Wishful thinking gone ugly. Having said that it's hard to understand just how terrible he has become.

Do balls hit into the rightfield stands count as homers ? Can you advance a runner from second to third with a fly ball to right ? How about a ground ball to second ? So why the F are you pulling the ball ???

embarrassing

took really needed to get Greene to third

Do we know how Tork has done against good pitchers slugging wise and what is the MLB average against such pitchers ? It's obviously lower but some players have good careers hitting AAAA pitchers but disappoint in big games. Are there such stats available ?

That was clutch. Great to see. Want many many more please.

Manning is cementing his spot as a teams fifth or sixth starter. Not bad but nothing special. Not a future piece in my amateur evaluation.
