FanGraphs reviewed Eguy Rosaria last year: San Diego Padres Top 31 Prospects | FanGraphs Baseball 11. Eguy Rosario, 3B Signed: July 2nd Period, 2015 from Dominican Republic (SDP) Age 24.1 Height 5′ 7″ Weight 175 Bat / Thr R / R FV 40 Tool Grades (Present/Future) Hit Raw Power Game Power Run Fielding Throw 30/35 50/50 45/50 40/40 55/55 60 Rosario was part of San Diego’s 2015 international class, which also included Emmanuel Clase and Andrés Muñoz. He was barely old enough to sign in 2015; had he been born a few days later he would have had to have waited until the following July. The Padres pushed him pretty quickly and he got his first taste of Double-A at age 18. He made his big league debut in 2022, then suffered a broken ankle playing winter ball in early 2023. He was still able to play a little bit in the big leagues later that year but not enough to lose rookie status. Injuries pressed him into action in 2024 and Rosario graduates as chase-prone, power-hitting third baseman. Rosario’s defense at third is highly entertaining. He loves to show off his arm and will wait an extra beat to let the ball go so he can throw it over there hard. He has mostly played third base of late. Eguy also loves to swing. He’s chase prone and dying to do damage to his pull side. When he leans on one, it can go a long way, but all the chase has caused a ton of strikeouts during his big league stints. Rosario is still very young and could probably play third base every day for a handful of big league teams. Ideally he’ll reintroduce another position or two to his toolbelt as a way of staying on a good roster.

Jankowski's gone as soon as Tauchman's ready in a week or so. I wouldn't trade for or claim Canario for a 3 week audition. Dude needs runway. I haven't heard of Canario's defense being on the level of Michael A. Taylor, so Slater is really the only player occupying the spot Canario would take. I know it's a meme, but Slater was the guy they targeted, either as a hedge against a Robert trade, or 2022-2023 Slater being a guy they could trade for a dude. I wouldn't expect them to launch the first player they targeted this off-season after 3 weeks. Just as we talk about Martin Perez, Bryce Wilson and others, they probably lured Slater with a promise of playing time, and a good couple month shot at a job. On a tangent, thinking about how they treated Pillar last year, and how he was so gob-smacked by the reworking of his contract, the Sox had to be feeling a money bite from their TV deals going away.

No. He has less than 3 years' service time, and this was his first outright off the roster.

If Fletcher makes it through waivers and he's assigned to Charlotte, that makes Colas 4th man up on the depth chart. I just get the sense that the dude's headstrong and there's no way forward.

So much for colonoscopy dude's sources.

They certainly could have traded cash or a rookie level pitcher for him then. I think the point of waivers is to put teams on notice, collect offers, then trade him to the team with the best offer. Short of that, release him to the top claiming club, or pull him back from waivers.

I would not find it questionable and disappointing if Canario isn't on our team in a week. I'd imagine that the priorities in the first months of the season are: 1) Get Vargas, Sosa and Lee PAs and innings. You need to see if they're major leaguers going forward. 2) Put your four young starting pitchers (and inexperienced bullpen) in the best position to succeed. A big step towards that goal is making sure you have better fielders at every possible position. 3) Keep Robert, Benintendi and Vaughn fresh and healthy by rotating them through the DH slot. If they produce, you can trade them. 4) Give Will Venable a team that he can actually "manage" and try to win games with. Venable is also being evaluated as a part of the equation going forward. Why give him a s%*#-show to juggle in his first year? One obstacle to all those is parking a guy in LF or DH and eliminating the rotation Venable has planned for the position. The main problem I have with the constant stoking of the "Getz is clueless" narrative is that he actually put this roster together with a plan and it would be silly to jettison that plan one game into the season to take a flier on a guy who hasn't collected the most glowing scouting reports. Cutting Jankowski, Maton, Slater, Taylor, Vaughn, Rojas all become flippant options if we just disregard the fact that they actually have to play the games, don't want to exceed the worst loss record again, and want to develop a positive clubhouse environment going forward. Canario is an interesting player. We could have easily cut Colas and grabbed this guy up when the Cubs DFAed him, and then took a good, long look at him. Either their own scouts said the same thing many of the more credible reports we have access to said, or they just didn't know enough about him then. I don't think anything's changed in the last 6 weeks.

That's a big reason I don't think anybody should have been expecting any kind of return on Kopech. The dude literally only put his coaches' suggestions into practice the week before he was traded.

nope.

Yeah, he made the plays hit to him. There was a game in ST where he looked absolutely terrible. Maybe he had bad clams that morning.

Vargas 2-4 w/2 ribs. That Fedde trade's looking better by the day.

14 players on this opening day roster have less than 2 years' service time. Do players only develop when their team loses?

Paul DeJong, 4 PAs, 4 Ks.

You've got to beat those teams, also.

There's a quality start. Burke looks real.

Colas isn't a major league outfielder. I would have ridden with Fletcher over Janky.

Probably the two easiest to sneak through waivers today.

just delete this.

Here's your thread:

I have no idea who his source is, or if he has sources. Nobody's talked about Colas being traded, or anybody else in baseball having any interest in Colas, so I thought it interesting to share. I gather he has, or thinks he has a source on the Sox who has gossiped info about inquiries to him.

Carella's really not an "impact" arm. That might just be a guy who slips through waivers over opening day because teams have too much else going on to take up a 40-man spot for the entire year (and off-season).

DFAing is also a way to force the issue with interested teams that are dithering. I only posted because it's an idea nobody has really mentioned that I always thought would be a thing, trading Colas.

He indicates he was told a list of clubs, rather than saying he heard from multiple clubs about their interest.

Colas had two high-profile fielding mishaps this spring that I feel are probably indicative of him not applying the coaching he's received. Getting hit in the face with the flyball in LF happened to somebody else the very next day, but there was a play in RF where he rushed a single, prepping to throw out somebody he had no chance on, and let the ball get by him. He doesn't seem to have a position, and Vargas looking like a viable pro bat has most likely closed off being 1B depth on the big club. I don't think his mental problems are that he's a lunkhead as much as being uncoachable.
