    Monasterio had a pretty terrible August. I would be running something like a 50/50 platoon there. I hope Monasterio can have a good career but realistically odds are he's not a long term solution.

    This is where mediocre hitters come and play so bad they can’t get a MLB contract again

    Hiura is going to be playing in our minors well into his 30s, isn't he
  4. umphrey
    It sucks but a Burnes trade is 100% necessary. We can’t risk holding him until the deadline and he is hurt and walks in FA. Woodruff I think there are options. Trade if it’s available. Extension would be great depending on cost. Not the end of the world to hold him to the deadline and trade him then or get a comp pick.

    Turang never really hit in the minors, he was never projected to hit well in the majors, and he hasn't hit in the majors. I am always surprised when people want to move on from Adames and slot in Turang who likely has upside of being an average hitter and is projected below that. Not a good strategy to improve a bottom 5 offense. People are probably going to quote his AAA age 22 season when he has 108 wRC+ and that is ok I guess but we should expect that to drop significantly at MLB level. Wiemer and Frelick were more like 132 and 155 depending on how you look at it.

    I said most people because I knew there would be a small minority overly attached to a 19 year old with 190 PAs in single A. I don't want to derail this thread too much, my point was to put the shiny new toy in perspective by comparing him to guys in our system that we know with similar value.
  7. umphrey
    Hard to get excited about that. Not many people would have missed 14 or 16 if we traded them away.
  8. umphrey
    Their wRC+ is identical. Urias had about 60 PAs this year and Turang about 270. Urias is projected better and has 2 solid seasons under his belt. I am pretty confused why they gave Urias 60 PAs and gave up on him completely.
  9. umphrey
    Probably not a trade I would have made but Blalock is an interesting add. Wonder if they will use him as starter or reliever. I don’t know why they refused to play Urias at 2B. Turang isn’t hitting.

    Making room for Kolten Wong lol?
  11. umphrey
    I will be disappointed if he doesn't get a shot at MLB at bats this year. If I'm reading his stats right, K rate down to 24% this year, last time he spent awhile in AAA it was up above 33%. And last year he proved he can be effective at MLB level if used sparingly.

    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.
  13. umphrey
    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.
  14. 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.
  15. umphrey
    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.
  16. umphrey
    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.
  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
    I think it happened a lot in the 2009-15 time frame but hasn’t been a theme in more recent years
  24. umphrey
    Glad we are willing to take a HS pitcher sort of early if the right guy is there
  25. umphrey
    Overall though I do think the FO kind of hates him as a high strikeout low utility guy, but they haven’t found a reason to get rid of him
