That stinks but probably expected
What’s your opinion on the status of their rebuild?
i dunno about kapler, i feel like he's either a filler before we get the right guy, but he also has some potential to be that guy. he's certainly saying the right things so far
the pro team right now is just terrible, but at least theres a few bright spots.
- yaz has it, im really excited about him. its encouraging hes allowed the success of the end last season carry over into this one
- dubon has some potential, but where does he play if he cant hit consistently?
- solano is 32 and on a one year deal, but i'd love to see him hit .400 this year and get a nice like 3 year deal and cash in after bouncing around
- slater has been really surprising this season, hes actually hitting against righties and that was his biggest weakness outside of consistentcy. its really weird having a steals leader in sf
- marco luciano is a great prospect, but hes a ways away.
- joey bart is ready to be in the pros now, i have no idea why hes not because hes already passed the time needed to get a full service year.
- heliot ramos is another big bat i look forward to in a few years.
- hunter bishop has a chance, but i dunno, i feel like hes gonna washout.
- patrick bailey was drafted with the dh in mind, as a switch hitter with power from both sides hes valuable now that this bullshit is likely here to stay.
the problem is theres barely any pitching in the pipeline now, which used to be our strong point. which means a lot of the talent we have is going to have to be moved, unless we've decided to just buy our staff.
were still really thin, in reality, and are a ways away from competing i think. ownership has shown a willingness to spend, so its nice to know when the right fa is there we wont shy away from him. theyve got a lot of ways to keep making money during the shutdown, so thats hopefully going to help keep them willing to spend when it comes to it.
were a meh organization at the moment, but on an upward trend. we've basically put everything on zaidi, hopefully he produces.
i feel sad for madison, hes getting freaking shelled. he wanted to come back but the team just didnt pursue him fully. hopefully his issues this year are just shoulder related and he can come back next year after the dbacks cut him and he comes home like we should have done in the first place with both him and lincecum ffs
