    I'd be fine with either one, and maybe if Conforto is much cheaper, he'd be better. I think Nimmo might be a better defender in RF, but I'm not sure. Nimmo's OBP? .482 career, .484 since 2018/ .377 since 2020. (17-18 HR per 162 almost any time frame.) Conforto's is not bad: .356 career, .360 since '18 and .367 since 2020. (21 Hrs per 162 since 2020/28 since 2018)

    He should be cheaper and for a reason.

    There are a few others on the fringes trying to join the conversation. Those who poo-poo our farm building, which includes some DD risers are underestimating the quality and quantity of pitchers we have, right now: OPS Against .495 German AA/AAA .601 TWard (4 teams) .623 Wikelman A/A+ .626 de la Rosa FCL/A .648 Encarnacion A/A+ .657 Uberstine A/A+ .661 Murphy AA/AAA (slumping, of late) .684 Drohan A+/AA .687 Wallace AA .691 J THompson AA/AAA and then there is Noah Song

    But you are saying Conforto, instead?
  5. moonslav59
    I'm high enough.
  6. moonslav59
    Crawdad has shown some ML success, so he's one up on the rest in that area. Walter is the only one with a K:BB ratio like 75:7, so I give him an edge, but yes, Bello & Mata are alone on "pop." I'm not sure when the last time we had two so near ML ready.
  7. moonslav59
    You said, "You should be higher" on them, which is saying I'm not high enough. I'll refrain from calling you a name back.
  8. moonslav59
    It's a gauge of how much power so meone has per a full season. If he plays 120 games, we can figure about 12-13 Hrs.
  9. moonslav59
    I said, I'm higher on Mata than Crawford or Wink. I said I see Bello as a 2/3 type. That's not "high" enough? Yes, Walter just turned 26 days ago, but I like him more than Wink and Seabold. Probably Crawford, too.

    And, Ted Williams with that massive RF. He'd have hit .400 a few times. It's not really fair to them and the integrity of records to take the shift away. I know, I know, things have always changed in baseball, like the 162 game season, actual OF walls, specialization of pitching staffs... If a batter always hits the ball in one area, you should be able to position yourself there. The pitch clock and robo umps will quicken and clean up the game as much as needed. Leave the rest alone.
  11. moonslav59
    I agree. We need to work on OBP more than power, but power is also a concern.
  12. moonslav59
    Sounds about right. Maybe Crawford and Wink end up being 2-3 inning RP'ers- possibly avoiding many high leverage situations. I do think Bello could become a solid #2/3 type. I'm also higher on Mata than Wink and Crawford. I like Walter, a lot, but he may be a late 2023 addition. (75 Ks and 7 BBs in 58 IP)

    bingo!
  15. moonslav59
    Even if Crow-Armstrong does next to nothing, they did not lose the trade, IMO.
  16. moonslav59
    How about Seabold? (I agree, totally. This was there first serious look at the bigs.)
  17. moonslav59
    I think there is not doubt major moves will be made. It's just a question of them working or not.
  18. moonslav59
    They say the votes are largely ceremonial.
  19. moonslav59
    I'm all for the pitch clock and robo umps. The shift has been part of baseball for decades. It does not slow the game down. It gets outs, so the game goes faster by more than it takes for players to move.
  20. moonslav59
    The money saved trading Beni forced Bloom to sign Renfroe. (Or, you could claim Marwin.)
  21. moonslav59
    Ward had a good night: 5IP 4H 0ER 2BB 5K (2.43 ERA) Abreu walked again! I think that's 105 or 106 on the season (2 Hits, too) Kavadas 3Ks (0-4) down to .723 in AA Mayer's HR and 2-4 brought him to .753, so far.
  22. moonslav59
    The shift is not "innovative:" it's just used way more. I agree, it's a stupid move by MLB.
  23. moonslav59
    He was so amazing: 10 years leading the league in OPS, and the all time highest career OBP of .482
  24. moonslav59
    Almost certain to see these changes... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/09/competition-committee-to-vote-on-proposed-2023-rule-changes-on-friday.html Too bad there is no robo ump vote.
