If we’re sticking with what we got, this is the lineup I’d like to see against RHP:
Anderson, SS
Grandal, C#
Abreu, 1B
Jimenez, LF
Robert, CF
Moncada, 3B#
Encarnacion, DH
Mazara, LF*
Madrigal, 2B
Resources are ultimately finite and without question I would prioritize adding a high-end starter over a big time RF (don’t think we can add both). That being said, if we decide that our 3-4-5 next year is some sort of combo of Cease, Dunning, & Kopech then we better be landing a superstar RF.
If Grandal hasn’t worked on his game-calling at this point in his career, it ain’t happening bud.
And outside of Giolito, who has come out and said they prefer McCann catching them?
Welcome to the board!
IMO, zero chance McCann turns down a QO as the pay would be substantial and most teams would be turned away from signing him if attached to a draft pick.
Yeah, his 2019 season was split between Low A & High A. He was very good in High A over his 12 starts, but as we all know AA is the real test and until he’s proven himself there I’m not sure how he can really be part of our starting mix.
