1984Echoes Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 ... Not strike out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Misstep by Hinch. Niko is the batter that Grossman should have PH for. Niko batting LH is just about the easiest batter in the AL to strike out if you can throw fastball up and the slider at his back foot, both of which Barlow had in his pocket.

chasfh Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 So much for Hittin’ Harold. I’m not sure Haase could have scored on the Paredes double had it stayed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger337 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Who is Archie? Is he totally new to the MTS environment or is it a name change? A name change is fine. I am just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they do not seem to be paying much attention to the site these days, therefore you and others were stuck waiting… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 No doubt. This season has far exceeded not only my expectations, but my best reasonable hopes. But now the pressure is on. They can't autopilot this shit anymore and hope for draft picks. It's time to make moves to contend, and I mean starting next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 2004, and we have the Manager in place to make next year more like 2006 than 2005. Considering how far below average our payroll currently is, there should be more than enough $$ available next year to get the 4 types of guys that everybody has been talking about: SS, SP, RP, and another power hitter (nearly any position would work). The FA options are generally in their 30s, so I hope they can keep the terms down to 2 or 3 years at most, unless of course they land one of the plus FA youngsters like Correa. Add to it the probability that at least 1 of the youngsters (Manning, Tork, Greene) can likely contribute something positive (say 1 to 2 WAR) next year, and I see no reason why this team shouldnt shoot for 85-90 wins with an average-ish payroll.

If we can't get everything in one offseason, as Avila has stated... I want the best SS we can land, a SP and at least one high end RP. I'm not as focused on the additional power hitter this offseason because (a) we'll see a lot of internal development next year at the MLB level so I would rather reassess after the 2022 season; (b) Miggy is going to retire sometime next year, IMO. That opens up ANY power hitter to play some in the field and, if necessary, primarily DH. I think that's an easier position for us to fill offseason 2022 than 2021. (c) Grossman's contract is up.. freeing up an OF spot; (d) What power hitter is attractive and available this offseason? I have pretty much focused exclusively on the SS's so I don't even know. But again... additional power hitter to me, plus maybe one more reliever, are better options for us in 2022 than in 2021...

1984Echoes Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 PS: Grossman is signed for next year. Offseason 2022 = either retain/ try to re-sign Grossman, or not. If we don't, that opens up an additional OF spot to put that additional power hitter... Just sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
