They should do a lot of things, you're a fan of a team that has never signed someone to a contract greater than $75 million I wouldn't be getting attached to any superstar players that put on this uniform.

2023: 38 HR's - 80 RBIS - 27 Solo HR's, from a guy that is batting 3rd for 100+ games. Oof. 2024: 11 HR's - 23 RBIS - He has 6 solo HR's and 5 2-Run HRs. There has never been more than 1 person on base for any HR he has hit this season. I would say you are correct sir.

I would agree, if this team was looking at a 72-90 type season. This team is not even close to being a 70 win team, they won't meet a price to extend Crochet, and they wont be competitive while they control him. The only logical outcome is to trade him.

You're right, everything looks good now. I guess we can close the book on this.

His pro career started in 2020. Were in 2024. That's not a ringing endorsement for his durability.

No way, Fedde needs to go in the next few days period. His value will never be higher than now.

As much as this team sucks, I’ve missed being able to just put the game on

Hey man don't knock Subway, you're literally the one selecting the sandwhich if its not good that's on you.

Damn I feel like I saw that post a year ago, I remember that though.

I would be perfectly fine with that return.

Seems way too soon for this, but at least it will be something exciting to watch

Moncada will play 3rd rest of the season, they aren't going to play him "all around" like some people were ridiculously suggesting months ago.

Makes sense. DFA Mendick for Senzel is an actual positive move. If they sent Sosa down for Moncada, I understand that one.

Don't understand optioning Sosa at all. .277 / .306 / .710 in July and was even passable in June as well.

Yeah I was about to say the same thing. I look at best player available as what their outcome will be in the future.

I see how that’s worded weird, I meant Schriffen is the sound effect guy not Benetti.

Come on, he's the same guy as Benetti just without the cringey sound effects. Ill never understand the Benetti love affair, he had no clue what was going on either.

I mean, these are all 25/26 year old filler players who most likely will never see the majors. The way you used them in your post was just odd to me. Tim Elko having a decent minor league career and never making it to the show doesn't mean he wasn't a punt pick. I get that these type of picks happen every year, but like I said you worded it as if they were punts who are now future pieces.

What is this supposed to mean? That those "punted" players are actually good?

I show his K rate as 21.9% with a walk rate of 18.5%, where did you pull those numbers from? His BABIP is pretty low too, I’m sure part of the low avg obviously.

What if nothing is coming and Getz just instructed them to take scrappy underdogs to fill out his organizational vision

Just because its baseball, it's incredibly difficult to be as bad as this team has been. Eventually, they'll win a few they really shouldn't have. It seems like we have had been on the wrong side of the majority of those situations so far. My guess is they win 20 and finish 47 - 115

Even with how bad this team has been and is, I find it hard to imagine they only win 12 games the rest of the season.

I know it doesn't mean a whole lot, but according to MLB.com every player they have drafted was either right at rank (Smith) or well before they were ranked.

Well it’s that plus the exposure of college football and basketball the casual person knows what’s going on generally.
