    ??? Bobby is RHB (killing lefties this year) Ockimey is LHB
  2. mvp 78
    Granted, Ozuna's line would be better if he could hit against the 2020 Sox again.
  3. mvp 78
    It's only a matter of time. The question is if it is weeks or months.

    I think they had already made Kiké the fulltime CF for all intents and purposes. He just got injured. Arroyo/Chavis at 2B is fine with me. You can also use Chavis to rest Dalbec at 1B. If they are going to platoon Dalbec, they have an in house option in Ockimey.

    Don't make me make another thread! I'll curse you into another loss.

    Prior to 2021: Munoz career OPS 734, 11HR, WRC+ 97 Cordero career OPS 737, 12HR, WRC+ 97 I like Munoz, but he's not that much different than Cordero. Both are fringe players.

    I honestly think they didn't expect to compete. They expected to be a .500 team and to just be "good enough." This was the bridge year. Sign some AAAA guys and have them round out the roster until Downs/Casas/Duran are ready to come up at the end of 2021. 2022 was the year they were planning for.
  8. mvp 78
    One fulltime guy would have fixed the myriad of issues in the OF. There were cheap options available. Cheap enough that you could have written them off if every other option worked out.
  9. mvp 78
    Pillar had a better track record than Renfroe and Cordero. Was pretty cheap too.
  10. mvp 78
    Has he at least been healthy?
  11. mvp 78
    Bloom's OF plan sucked. There's no denying this!
  12. mvp 78
    Who thought Renfroe and Cordero could both be fulltime starters? I don't remember people claiming that at the time. Santana was injured when they signed him and doesn't have a long track record of success. Kike and Marwin are both utility guys who's main function as plug and play on an as needed basis. They are not full time guys. If you fill your lineup with fall back options like the guys mentioned above, you can't expect long term production.

    4th string slot? He only had 1 fulltime OF in the clubhouse. Both corner OF spots are anemic.
  14. mvp 78
    Last night's win!
  15. mvp 78
    Offseason acquisitions: Kiké: fine utility guy who has never been a fulltime player Marwin: underwhelming utility guy Renfroe: platoon OF who struggled in 2020 Cordero: platoon OF who has an extensive injury history That's quite the patchwork OF. Hard to see how we would have been excited for that plan if shown that last November.
  16. mvp 78
    Franchy needs to learn a new pitch.
  17. mvp 78
    He was injured when they signed him. He was never cleared to play.
  18. mvp 78
    Santana was injured when they signed him. They painted themselves into a corner.
  19. mvp 78
    They intentionally went with a short bench. Surprise surprise, there were injuries and now they are scrambling. There were cheap contracts to be had at the end of the offseason. It would have been smarter to have a guy like Pillar sitting on your bench than Valdez in the pen not pitching for 2 weeks or Brice stinking up the joint. Cordero had options. There's no reason they should have forced him onto the opening day roster. They needed a better plan.
  20. mvp 78
    There were cheaper options still available towards the end of Spring Training. It still doesn't make sense to me that they didn't bring in a guy like Pillar. Relying on full time production from Cordero was a pipe dream. My guess is they were hoping to be a .500 team and that fans would have ignored some of the flaws. Unfortunately, they had early season success and got some people's hopes up.
  21. mvp 78
    Bloom hinted that it may be sooner than later once the season gets up and running. Hard to trade for players who haven't been scouted since 2019.
  22. mvp 78
    Well, I woke up today after they lost ANOTHER game last night. 3-2! 3-2?!?!? Are you kidding me? How could Franchy and the bullpen do this to me?
  23. mvp 78
    100%
  24. mvp 78
    What he has is no viable replacement as of 5/12/21. Bloom took a risk that he could use bandaids to fix the OF depth. Unfortunately, it hasn't really worked out. The only really productive hitter in the OF has been Verdugo, which was kind of expected. Many of us wondered what the plan was in the offseason. This team would look much better if it also had Pillar out there.
  25. mvp 78
    Yeah, that pen turned things around at the end of that season and were rolling.
