Controlling the strike zone.

The last one is a head scratcher

Yes we do. Majors and minors.

Drafting well rounded players. Love it.

G2 was on this early and his point of Greene better than Tork resounds loudly.

I’m ok with the pick for the record. One dimensional sluggers are cheaper on the free agent market.

Defense and all all tool player wins out. We loose since it indicates long rebuild ahead.

Looks good for us.

We will soon know !!

That would be something. He will hit left handed in the 5 hole and have a strikingly resemblance to Nick at night

And if Harris feels we are three plus years from contending and wants to stretch the draft booty Clark comes into play. The problem with drafting Crews at 3 is Boras will want number one $$ and that limits the budget.

Like what ?

Yes I want Crews but if Harris gets cute to save $ and avoid Boras is it a disaster ?

Would we be ok with Clark if Crews was on the board ?

Hope Harris has a good showing tomorrow as well.

Funny how Willie Castro is playing only the outfield in Minnesota and doing better. Gaining confidence in his defense allows him to relax at the plate maybe ?

We got our wish !!!!

Love it. Marisnick stays. Harris made a good decision.

Torkelson can't even catch !

Weather looks good and they should have cold beer so you can make a night of it still !

I'm with you.

I think that was part of Harris thinking, I'm not signing him long term anyway, but your correct he has played much better than Harris anticipated also and the trade bounty is a missed opportunity. I would not have retained him and I was wrong also.

Would you offer him 4 years and 40 to 50 million this off season ?

I think this was a major part of Harris reasoning. Might as well get started now(last off season) with finding a replacement for third base which is why he only offered Candy part time pay which Washington bested at 5 million. The unfortunate part is we are still looking for a 3rd sacker and won't get the trade return the Nationals will enjoy. Having said that I agreed with the decision-was happy to see him gone- and McKinstry will be a nice bench player for years to come at an affordable rate and this was a good year to "test the rest" and get that out of the way. The unfortunate thing is Hinch/Avilia thought Candy was better than Paredes who would be by far our best hitter. That worries me about Hinch. Does he really know talent when he sees it ?

This Oakland series sure has been a dud. Skubal and Erod back is nice but s*** losing 1-0 and then blown out ? Looks like we will be moving everyone that brings back a "decent" offer and tank out the season....deja Vu all over again. But I do believe in Scot Harris and this was his mulligan year and he sure is taking it and truthfully it probably is the best coarse of action for 24/25. Hope he trades and drafts really well. Moment of Truth.
