.705 OPS = "really figuring out how to handle the bat"
.697 OPS = "his bat just hasn’t been good enough for quite some time"
C'mon man. We should be glad these two can really play defense, but if I had to pick one it wouldn't be the guy who's having his career year at .705 OPS.
Dream time (based on MJ promotion). So how/when best to bring up our big 3 position prospects, and fit MJ, Witt and Pratto into 2022 or 2023? And who will the other starting position pieces be? MJ at DH and catcher every day, with MJ deferring to Salvy to give him 60% of the catcher starts, and carry Rivero or Cam as emergency backup catcher. Witt at 3B if Mondesi gets injury cured, otherwise at short. Nicky or Whit at 2B. Santana and Dozier (and Pratto at 1B) gone with admission of wasted money or salary dump trades or (in Dozier's case) kept as utility player.
And I think that Hernandez's success (let's hope it continues!) is the best possible medicine for Singer to listen and make changes. So, dream time for pitchers, with Carlos fronting or P2, who else will be part of next championship core for 2023 World Series win :) .
Carlos Hernandez becoming the team's best starting pitcher with the draft class of 2018 slotting in behind him would be the most "That's baseball!" thing ever.
Like I said on Twitter, it was a loss in the win-loss column, but to me a win in the grand scheme of things with the way Carlos pitched. Only bad start he has had lately I was in attendance so maybe it was me. With the 5 guys that have pitched this year, Bubic, Hernandez, Kowar, Lynch, Singer how would you rank them as far as future career performance 1-5? Obviously Kowar was a very small sample size.
We've talked b4 about Whit's decline and it's very frustrating that he doesn't sit most likely because of the upcoming record. With all the guys we need to look at, it would be beneficial to give Whit and Santana days off these last 50 games to open up spots in lineup. I'll be out there tonight for my 1st in person look at Lynch. Thanks David!
