It just seems to me, there are dozens of pitchers like Ort available at any given time, and I’m talking waiver wire access.
-
Indeed. Opening day is rapidly approaching!
-
He seems like the perfect pitcher to assume Whitlock’s role as a 2-3 inning RP’er. I’d put him there, now. Start a kid until a vet comes back.
-
It might happen, soon. I have to think nobody would claim him, and he could still remain in the system, but if someone does claim him, so what?
-
“Go back and get a shitload of dimes!”
-
Keep up the good work!
-
And why is that? 😂
-
You also said let’s see who is right.
-
I’m really liking what I see from McGuire. He looks like a keeper. To think we dumped Diekman and his salary for him makes the move look even better. Tapia is certainly making a strong case to make the team. It’s nice so many bubble players have options. Too bad Alfaro’s catching skills are reportedly bad. Chang looks to be the IF bench guy. Dalbec is hitting well, but usually has poor Aprils and Mays, so he could be tge odd man out. With so many pitchers rehabbing, it’s hard to project the 13.
-
All he said was Wong will probably be ready.
-
No back up IFer?
-
I do think playing him in LF a few games makes more sense than SS, but if we ever need him at SS in an emergency, it gods he got one game in. (If he does end up at SS, we may wish he played more.)
-
The only real concern is MLB v AAA.
-
It would if it was. It’s not. So, it’s not.
-
So, we no longer need the RHd OFer you argued for, last year? To me, if Tapia and Ref’s splits were reversed, I’d be for Tapia, hands down.
-
Agreed. I do worry about Sale overthrowing out of sheer competitiveness, so maybe opening day might add to that possibility. I don’t see starting game 2 as a big deal, though, and he may face easier starters for the first few starts.
-
I believe since 2020, but certainly 2021 and 2022. I remember there being a debate after Cora stated he would not platoon Dugo. I’m not sure a full platoon is needed, and we had nobody, early last season, but vs tough lefties, I think he should sit.
-
Career OPS: Tapia .709 .684 v LHP Refsnyder .676 .728 v LHP It seems we have 3-4 OFers who do well v LHPs and better vs LHPs than RHPs, so Ref looks like the better choice. I do recall a couple posters roasting Bloom for neglecting the need for a RH’d hitting OFer, last year.
-
I’ve said that about Dugo for years.
-
The opening day pressure on Kluber must be immense! Is he thankful that Cora placed him in such a pressure cooker? (can’t put in green from my phone.)
-
Ref did have a .784 OPS v lefties in 2021, so maybe 2022 was not such a fluke. I’m cautiously optimistic and think he earned a long look for 2023. I like Tapia, too, but STing numbers should not be enough to displace Ref, IMO.
-
Maybe Yoshida to DH and Turner to 1B to make room for Ref and sit Casas.
-
Starting Dalbec in AAA is easy. It’s the 40 man slot that is more of an issue, although it seems like it’s not that hard. Ort, Ort, Ort seems to be the easy choice, but it never seems to happen. There is also the Alfaro situation. Maybe some one goes on the 60 to make room.
-
Last year, it was Fitzy.
-
Good to see Pivetta turn it around.
