Yes. Looking at the box scores for ND looks like he mostly played LF.

Jay is not messing around. This is certainly a different approach to last year so far. All 3 pickups will make massive impacts on next years team.

He isn't done either.

I still can't understand why anyone doubted that Jay would get us back in the hunt for #9.

How long until someone on the Rant says he only went 1-5 when they played us this year, so obviously he's not that good.

Someone mentioned the 1-5, but only in the context of us having faced him, not as a judgement of quality.

That weekend was also the apex of out pitching for the season. We were pretty down hill with maybe a dead count bounce or two after that.

I gotta think the last "big money" player we land is a LHP. Then we try to find a bit more diamond in the rough outfielder, 3rd basemen, and couple more bullpen arms. More so the type of guys that compete for spots rather than the ones we can pretty much pencil in like Park, Watters, and Hood.

ETA unless Jay got some extra green from donors and is just waiting to drop his dick on the table

I'm now going through follow lists and combing for LHPs that may be a little under the radar.

Jarret Williams from Lamar seems like a good guy for us to make a push for. We're on him, don't know how heavy, but he's got good numbers and he hasn't immediately followed Davis to Houston.
