I guess Baez plays defense so that is his saving grace. Has there ever been a designated fielder? Lol
Not surprised on the pitching moves, was expected.
Kriedler may be a 4A player, not sure what to make of him other than a reserve in Toledo for any injuries.
This is it. With both back, he is probably shown the door unless a giant change in hisbapproach and thus results comes through in this 6 weeks or so.
Keithās projections by the actual professiinals show out at .726 to .750 OPS. At 23 years old.
Exhale please, DB, he will be fine, and back to 2b in a year or two after some work in practice and ST, as they will have a 1b bopper there if Tork works out or when Briceno comes up.
I absolutely want more than anything to see a Big Monster Bat in the 4 hole. Vladdy, whoever. Chris I needs to make that happen.
Harrisā apprlach though will allow that to happen as he floods the position group with young talent. They are complimentary strategies, but they dont work at exactly the same time. Sometimes its what is available in FA and as we found, if they even take your best deal over someone else.
Sometimes its a big ol swap of young guys for a bopper trade. Those are maybe 1-2 a year in MLB.
Using my Weasely Palantir, I think you may see 2-3 teams go to rebuild/reload this season cycle so the opportunity may be there. Or ligjam situations like Casas/Devers+++ in Boston.
I think they get their outside the org impact bat in the next 8 months, hoping its closer to 4.

Weasel loves the 4 hole ![]()
I canāt fuckin believe we have to open the season out west against the Dodgers.
And Seattle after that, not an easy first six games to put it mildly.
God I hate the Dodgers⦠Almost as much as @CuriousHusker does.
Dodgers w/o Betts and maybe Freemanā¦and who are the scheduled SP for them?
Looks like Skub vs Snell, then Flaherty vs TBD and Boyd vs TBD. At least we get our 3 best for them, as Im ok w Mize Jobe Skub for the next 3 against a bottom 8-10 offense Mariners.
Boyd?
Do you mean Olson?
Olson should probably take this round but Iām willing to pitch if needed. ![]()
Is Shohei not their opening day starter?
He hasnāt pitched in a regular season game in 2 years. I hear maybe by May at the earliest. Heās already had Tommy John surgery twice. His pitching days are numbered.
Time to party!
.713 OPS against LHPs last season.
Seems like a good platoon for Kerry.

Every team needs a Maggot on their roster.
He was terrible last year but did have some decent years with the Rays.
That .713 OPS against LHP was from the 2024 season. I shouldāve clarified.
.626 OPS overallā¦but heāll probably not play much, if at all, against RHPs.
