Kazuma Okamoto also strikes me as a not crazy option at 1B. Out of price range for Okamoto...he will receive something close to Benintendi money.

I think it's a longshot myself but stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Any interest in Frankie Montas? Being released and owed $17M next year so would only be league minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Minnesota, due to even worse weather and team's uncertain financial future. Edited November 19 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his first two seasons, he did look like he would be. But he never learned how to play a single position well and his bat then disappeared.

WestEddy Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 The White Sox hired a respected Japanese scout credited with helping identify Shohei Ohtani.

One day, they went to a local gym with a basketball court. Cease started awkwardly dribbling the ball like someone who hadn’t played a lot of hoops, Steele once recalled. Then Cease gathered himself and staged his own dunk contest. “I’ve only had one day in my life like that where I was doing these crazy dunks,” Cease said. “This must have been peak rehab where I had just worked out for 10 months straight. We were at, like, a Life Time or one of those places, and I was doing these wild dunks. I can’t do them right now. I don’t know how I was doing it, but I was doing wild stuff then."

TBH, I don't think it's a great comparison. Lenyn is what I'd call "on the spectrum" for MLB defense. Maybe he's toward the bad end of that spectrum but he's an actual major league infielder. And I'm not so sure that he is that close to the bad end, particularly if he stops having s%*# for brains. And of course at the plate, they are rather different. Morel light tower power but shocking problems making contact in the zone. Lenyn has a strong contact tool (and surprising power) but an astronomical chase rate. Morel is a guy with physical problems (and gifts) while Lenyn's issues are ultimately all about decision-making on both sides of the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
