caulfield12 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Gary Sanchez might be the one to save Padres. Four homers in less than two weeks. Scoring 4 or more runs=26-4... likely to be 27-4 Scoring 3 runs or less=2-29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 "The cortisone shot knocked out what Xander was dealing with in spring training and the WBC. Then he got hit by a pitch by Spencer Strider and it's too soon to get another. It's certainly good to hear that Bogaerts doesn't need surgery, but it's also disheartening to hear that he's likely going to be bothered by this issue all season." That sounds similar to Benintendi... minus the wrist surgery. Definitely not the same player. Machado just came back from two weeks off with his own hand/HBP issues. At least Juan Soto is finally playing like a star again. They would have been much better off (financially) with Kim at SS, Cronenworth at 2B and a more traditional 1B. Preller (seemingly) got desperate to make more news when all the big ticket free agents evaporated after Judge turned them down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 https://www.mlb.com/padres/news/17-year-old-ethan-salas-impressing-in-padres-farm-system How did you celebrate your 17th birthday? Probably not quite like Ethan Salas. The top international prospect in this year’s class, Salas made his professional debut at the Padres’ Single-A affiliate Lake Elsinore last week. He has begun his pro career by hitting .300/.482/.500 through six games. He also turned 17 a week ago. Make no mistake, the Padres were taking a chance when they decided to start Salas at Single-A. Prospects Salas’ age often spend their first professional season in the Dominican Summer League. The advanced players? They start their careers at Spring Training facilities in the Arizona Complex League. The rest of them? Well, they’re usually still completing their senior year of high school. But Single-A? For a 16-year-old? Just doesn’t happen very often. The Dodgers’ Julio Urías did so in 2013. Even for a 17-year-old, Salas is just the third player in the past five seasons to play in the California League in his age-17 season. Salas, the Padres’ No. 3 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 86 overall, is proving that he’s ready. It’s not merely the homer or the already-excellent plate discipline. (He’s walked seven times in his first 27 plate appearances.) It’s the way Salas comports himself. In the early innings Tuesday night, Salas struck out twice. His response? He didn’t sulk. In fact, according to one person who was there, Salas grabbed the dugout iPad and made a point to watch his at-bats with the team’s hitting coach to try and decipher how he was being attacked. In his fourth at-bat, he launched a no-doubter to right-center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reliable factor out West is the Rockies being abysmal...yet Denver fans continuing to support that tram year in and year out with strong attendance numbers.

caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Pretty sure you can stick a fork in them. Trade Soto Hader Snell...listen on Darvish. Record in one run and extra innings abysmal... total opposite of last year. Same thing has happened to the Mariners, pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall saying he was the best ever...but I don't think many can make the case he's not one of the 5-10 most impactful players in baseball again this year. BTW, procure connotes eventual ownership of something with a theoretical value...but I guess someone will argue the Sox are better off with Benintendi because there's less attendant risk involved.

Quin Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Padres have spent $6,642,805 per win. Sox have spent $5,423,207 per win. Is JerryBall more cost efficient than PrellerBall?

Is JerryBall more cost efficient than PrellerBall? Inspired by this Reddit post, which obviously shows that the Rays and Orioles are getting the most bang for their buk. The Padres don't have an ace this year...maybe Wacha or Snell if they can get going. Musgrove... maybe. Too many maybes. Bogaerts and Machado aren't performing up to their projections... and their high leverage relievers are failing or hurt. Trade Hader Soto and Snell and suddenly things look different for 2024. Except they're built to win now and already have close to 30 sellouts...but also a frustrated fanbase with 3 NL West teams stacked ahead of them. Whatever you say about SD... at least they have won three playoff series in the 2020's, and knocked off the Cards Mets and Dodgers along the way. All that said...James Wood becoming a superstar in Washington is the end of Preller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
