    I think we are on track to need an inning eater or 2. Hard to say though because it depends on the health reports for Woodruff and Priester and innings limits for guys like Crow and Henderson.

    Lately every night I check the scores and Brewers winning Cubs losing Mets losing and I go to sleep feeling good

    Can’t wait til we get into June and some AAA hitter call ups become more viable. Lara, Pratt, Jett are all looking like interesting options right now. Would like to see Frelick in a platoon and defensive sub role until he works through his issues at the plate. The other ABs go to one of those prospects.

    Priester was a guy we really needed in October. Yeah our starting rotation looks great now but it’s full of guys who can’t exactly pitch 200 innings and then every 4-5 days in the playoffs. Priester was supposed to be one of those guys.
  5. umphrey
    The new trend seems to be that at the beginning of the season you write out your SP depth chart about 10 deep and you assume all of those guys are going to pitch significant innings for you that year. That’s what the Brewers and Dodgers seem to do and probably some other teams too. Guess the Red Sox may be behind on that one.

    I thought things were looking kind of ok with Hamilton as the primary SS and Ortiz the backup. Definitely not a situation that demands rushing up an under performing prospect anyway. 3b is another story. I am a believer that Rengifo will turn it around soon, but if not then calling up a prospect to push Hamilton to 3B is a pretty marginal change offensively. Plus we probably have to trade/DFA Ortiz at that point to avoid carrying 3 SS with no offensive upside.

    Looks like their pitching is likely going to hold them back at least this year but they will probably add there soon. That offense looks like it's coming up though I'm not sure if I believe in Jordan Walker over a larger sample size. However he has a lot of room to regress yet still be good.
  8. umphrey
    It's still early and it's easy right now to just drop him down the depth chart and see how things go. Woodford and Drohan are still on the roster and as long as they are here then Zerpa's roster spot is likely safe.
  9. umphrey
    Most years it feels like there are only 2 or 3 players carrying the entire offense at a time. The names change but usually 2 or 3 at a time.

    I’m not expecting Stearns to get fired any time soon, but their slow start is significant. They are more likely to miss the playoffs than make at this point, which is pretty embarrassing for their payroll 2 years in a row. I read this article which has some more info on why their playoff chances are poor and the lack of production from offseason acquisitions. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/no-offense-the-new-look-mets-are-in-quite-a-skid/

    Kinda looks like Stearns is about to get run out of New York. I was questioning their offseason but I thought there was some plan and it would come together with some sneaky underrated acquisitions. Not looking good for them.
  12. umphrey
    I think the FO wrote him out of their long term plans last offseason but didn’t show much urgency about it. Will be interesting to see what they do if this trajectory continues through the trade deadline (Joey and all the SS prospects showing poorly). They are probably calling around for an Adames style April/May trade right now honestly.
  13. umphrey
    I thought he was on track to get stuck in AAA but I guess not now. They may look to trade Ortiz next year. Glad the org likes Pratt.
  14. umphrey
    He is a really nice reclamation project. It's going to be challenging to keep him on the MLB roster though especially if his defense is bad.
  15. umphrey
    Sigh. Deja vu from last year. Hope we get more than 60 innings.
  16. umphrey
    What a disaster that contract was. $100M about 2400 ABs 0.7 WAR in 4 years.
  17. umphrey
    I don't think Quero is playable right now due to his caught stealing numbers since the injury. I'm hoping someone posts the numbers.
  18. umphrey
    I liked Sanchez and was sad to see him go last year. Just a pretty solid 100wRC+ bat that can play backup C and fill in as DH in a pinch for around league min salary. If he gets cut mid season it won't kill the yearly budget.
  19. umphrey
    I hope we are all ready for Ortiz and Hamilton batting 8/9 most days. Throw in Perkins or a backup C and a full 1/3 of the lineup has a dead bat. I'm hoping another move is coming or I am underrating a MiLB option. Jett better be ready to play in 2026.
  20. umphrey
    Yeah this one is really hard to understand. I'm guessing Jett Williams and Ortiz on the left side with Hamilton as backup or stopgap. Not sure we really needed Harrison.
  21. umphrey
    What
  22. umphrey
    I don't think it's an upside play. More likely they just sign these guys in case of multiple injuries, they can come up and play CF and bat 9th and hit ground balls. Guaranteed value if needed instead of the slow power bat that might strike out all the time and get cut after 100 ABs even though he was just crushing AAA.
  23. umphrey
    I don't pay attention to MiLB lineups that much. Can Pratt and Williams split time at SS or do they typically avoid that? I think it makes sense to keep Williams at SS in AAA at least to start the year to possibly take time away from Ortiz, but Pratt makes sense in the same spot. I guess they could keep Pratt at AA but I'm not a fan of that either.
  24. umphrey
    Do we really need a Quintana this year? Not sure we do unless injury happen early again. Our SP depth is 7 deep by my count and I'm being pretty generous by not counting guys like Crow, Zerpa, Ashby. Just not sure it's worth the $ to kick out Patrick, Sproat and Gasser to AAA or BP.
  25. umphrey
    Payne is kind of forgotten about. He's 19 years old and could shoot up lists with a decent year. 30% K rate in A ball though and if he does that again he is likely to fall out of our top 30. Gillen signed for almost $1M more, he's 1 year older and had a more reasonable 23% K rate. So just some context on him outside of draft position.
