Ozzie for Manager

Bring back Crapa so I can keep betting against him not getting a hit

I stand corrected. He is 27. I was looking at his age at his mlb debut. He is still a really damn good hitter with a couple years of control left. Hit lefties at 271 last year. 3.7 oWar over last 2 years. Not great defensively.

Burleson is 24 years old. Not 28. You could get a 2nd player for quero

Alec burleson is on the trading block. Guy can hit

If he is in listening mode let's hope Jerry isn't talking to him

Vargas made a pretty big jump from 2024 to 25. If he makes another jump than maybe he hits .265 with 22 HRs and 80 rbis and .770 OPS. That's a decent player to have in the lineup. Are you really going to get anything back in a trade better than that.

Wichita state and Rice were 2 schools that come to mind also. When the SEC decided they wanted to dominate baseball it hurt a lot of schools. Arkansas bought Zach Root from ECU and he wasn't high in the draft this year. And auburn bought our left fielder last year. Trey was offered i heard 250k but wake forest but wouldn't leave ECU and his pitching coach.

He did come back in the ncaa tourney and was dominant. I was at the game. Lots of teams missed. ECU not the SEC but have the 6th most active major leaguers now. With 8. Some damn good pitchers. Gavin williams Alec burleson Jeff hoffman Shawn Armstrong Carson whisenhunt Zach agnos Connor norby

Looks like the scouts didn't think that highly of him. Low ceiling. No plus pitch. Lol

Let's go yesavage

Watched trey yesavage in person many times in college. Kid isn't fazed by the moment. Saw him outfield chase burns in NCAA regional. Wish we drafted him

As an ECU alum I saw Trey Yesavage pitch many times in person. I thought he was a top 10 pitcher that draft. Saw him outpitch Chase Burns in a regional. I really wanted the sox to draft him, he was just more polished than Hagen Smith. Felt like Gavin Williams was the best RHP in the draft a few years ago too. I think sometimes scouts rate a guy higher because they are in the SEC or ACC. But Yesavage is absolutely nasty. 10 Ks through 4 innings in his 4th start in MLB.

Well looks like letting crochet go out and pitch and build himself up worked out for him. 200+ innings this year. Threw over 100 pitches 21x this year. 14 games of 7+ innings.

I thought it was obvious. But my post wasn't serious.

It's obvious the coaching was the reason we missed the playoffs. Pencil us in next year. Getz amassed all that talent. The coaching staff held them back this year.

We really need to sign a stud to tell the fans we are serious about winning. Otherwise we can be the next Orioles. Go get Kyle Tucker and a ace pitcher and a decent closer. Try to win the division

That's my boy

We are about to lose.

Guess they taught them how to hit

Just walk him

Maybe this will force their hand to cut rojas

That wouldn't have happened last year. Get another now

That's my boy

Halfway there.

They need to stop s winging when Luis steals
