So, best case scenario?
We sign Gausman, Freeman, Simmons and Raisel Iglesias.
We trade Bogey, Dalbec and Downs for another ace, and we're off to the stars.
Remember when Duran, then the streaking Munoz were "the neglected" answers to our prayers.
Sounds the same with Bello & Co.
If Bello is the answer to 2021, then why not Mayer, now that Bogey's down and out?
It might come down to us needing to win 5 or 6 out of our last 6:
3 @ BAL
3 @ WSH
Or 10 or 11 out of out last 14:
3 v BAL
2 v NYM
3 v NYY
3 @BAL
3 @WSH
Fun with numbers
JD had a .305 OPS in a nine game stretch not long ago, but when you go back...
JD last 18 games before tonight's 1-1: .838 with 15 RBIs.
This stretch includes the whole 9 game slump!
LOL
I think NC has supported minor league ball so well, they deserve a team, but without a big city and trying to centrally place the team between mid-sized cities seems very problematic.
How about?
San Antonio?
Indy?
Buffalo?
Sacramento?
So, Peacock, Valdez and Gonsalves.

When I think of Tony Clark, I think back to the days I believed players could be skilled at clutch hitting. I was happy we got him.
Career Late & Close .834 (.799 high leverage)
With the Sox: .399 (.739)
It's like we were the reverse of what TB is today.
The guy hit .857 with DET.
Came to us at the ripe age of 30 and hit .556.
He hit .861 the following 3 years after leaving Boston.
Plawecki will be back in 2022.
We stayed under with Ottavino, and he's been a plus. (I'm not talking plus per dollar)
Wong and RHern are likely better than I forgot who, last year.
Valdez & Rios seem better than many on that list of 19 I provided.
Yes, Bazardo was in the system long before Bloom.
