    I don’t think Yelich and Chourio are financially related. If Chourio is extended early he’s cheap. If late they can backload and avoid Yelich.

    I've definitely had this thought. It would be tempting to try to trade him. What would they use the money on though? A Woodruff extension? Couple of $10m players? I'd probably prefer to let it ride with Yelich if those are the options. If it came down to Yelich vs Adames for the next 6 years that would be a tougher question.

    He was a hot name a few years ago, I remember talking about selling a lot of prospects to get him. Wonder what happened. I just checked his stats and it looks like MLB pitchers found a hole in his swing or a pitch he can't hit.

    Interesting strategy this year. When we draft a college guy 11-20, it feels like we are just filling out the A/AA rosters. When we draft high school guys and go over slot to do it, the probability for them is quite low, but there is more hope of getting an all star there.
  5. umphrey
    He’s really just in purgatory until the trade deadline and potentially past that depending on what happens. If he had options he probably would have been up and down once or more.

    I mostly agree with this take except for the 1B/DH problem. We don't have any long term answers there. If we play guys like Caratini, Toro, Miller there it feels like we are just giving up on 2023 and auditioning for 2024. I guess Hiura could be a long term answer there but Hiura alone fixing our 1B/DH problem again just feels like auditioning for 2024. Maybe he can be part of the solution but they need another guy to have a hope for 2023.

    Ohtani is worth those 2 and more but I wouldn't make the trade because the team isn't good enough to sell so much for 2023 and nuke 2024+

    Someone can correct me if I’m wrong. I can’t remember signing an entire draft class in 10+ years, except I think there was a weird pandemic year where they only made 5 picks. I think they typically spend 1-2 months negotiating until it becomes clear who is not signing, or something like that, it takes awhile.

    CJ Cron numbers are pretty bad this year and he’s playing in COL. I think COL would send him our way if we just asked nicely and took his contract. I was going to post about how I don’t even want him but then I remembered how awful our 1B/DH have been and decided a consistent 80 wRC+ from Cron sounds kind of ok.
  10. umphrey
    I can’t believe how much hate there is here for Wiemer and his rookie season of 1.4 WAR so far and 84 wRC+. Go look at Turang stats if you want to see what a garbage hitting rookie looks like. Wiemer remains one of our most promising young players, even if he’s had some hot and cold stretches.
  11. umphrey
    I've heard some people say this feels forced with his poor numbers on the year. But I'm told he's been doing well lately and this could be a short stay at the MLB level if it doesn't work, so I'm all for it. I think seeing MLB pitching for at least a few weeks would be good for him. Or hopefully he just hits 300 and stays.
  12. umphrey
    I’m trying to figure out what my take is here and I think it’s that we are just middle of the road overall. If you did a similar list again next year then Burnes would drop off and we will look worse. It would be great if Wiemer/Mitchell/Turang could continue to contribute with someone taking the next step into above average territory, that would also buck the trend of us failing to develop hitters for a long time and help the offense.

    I love this draft and everything they did with it. I hope they find a way to use all their money though. I hate leaving equity on the table.
  14. umphrey
    I was never a huge fan of Turang’s bat as a prospect and he just got sent down to AAA because of his 56 wRC+. I don’t know how anyone can feel good about plugging him in as the every day starter right now, or at any point until he shows some better hitting.
  15. umphrey
    Of our upcoming FAs Adames is the one I would really try to sign. He’s starting to look affordable and the SS position could get ugly without him.
  16. umphrey
    I wouldn’t mind selling Yelich and Adames to the Dodgers. Adames is having a down year, assumed we would hold him through the year, buy/sell/hold.
  17. umphrey
    He basically said “I hope I get drafted as soon as possible and sign”. Not sure if he will go for absolute minimum but definitely will be cheap.
  18. umphrey
    Overall though this is my favorite draft in some time. I liked the day 1 picks, I liked that they added some high school talent, I loved that they went hard on some bat first players, I liked that they managed to get 5 players that are reasonably high end prospects, with 1 or 2 additional wild cards.
  19. umphrey
    Wow 1 more head turner with Pratt. As others have mentioned they basically always sign them in the first 10 rounds so they must have a plan to get it done. There are no guarantees but I would definitely bet on it. also, interesting theme. High school and 3B is really stealing the show.
  20. umphrey
    Birchard, looked like a signability guy, but it looks like he’s a 19 year old JUCO with an Oregon commitment, so probably will not be cheap
  21. umphrey
    I fully support an under slot pick here to add high end quality
  22. umphrey
    Wow another HS, he is 17 years old. Not sure if this is just the FO taking the best player, or going young on purpose because they don’t think the MLB team is all that close.
  23. umphrey
    Just googled a list and yeah this is the hitter everyone is going to want. As a 3B/1B/DH everyone can find him a home. Rounding out the top 13 is SS and C (limited markets) then you get into high risk players like Bellinger and Lane Thomas.
  24. umphrey
    I was leaning Quero but didn’t want to say it 😂 I don’t know if Wiemer still qualifies, if so he would be in the running for me. The power/speed/defense at the MLB level really gives him a leg up compared to AA players.
  25. umphrey
    Tough crowd. 70 grade fastball, 70 grade slider, what’s not to like. And for MLB debut, pretty hard to be eye popping as a RP, really just looking for him not to get lit up.
