I have been saying in the DAT for 3-4 years we need a legit center fielder

Up the middle defense and a top 6 in order at least

Jake isn't either

There’s maybe 5-6 “legit” proven center fielders in pro baseball

You can’t just “get one” though

Yep.

A combo of Jake/Chas/someone LH like Heyward in center would likely be above the current MLB average in total offense/defense.

What we must have is corner outfielders who can hit. Right now, it's looking murky, to be kind.

Not really sure what the path is to fix the corners at this point either. Hope someone like Profar’s market bottoms out I guess. Otherwise it looks like it will be a pain point until maybe the deadline. They badly need Chas to at least get back to being close to an everyday player

We're on a Ben Gamel budget. I kind of hope we do bring him back given the other guys were stuck with. Not the worst option. .250 type hitter, acceptable on base and willing to take a walk.

Ben Gamel


Yeah, have to agree that we probably see something get worked out there.

When and if Yed plays LF, it strengthens OF production, but you need a bench bat for that to pay off. Something we don't have.

Trying to get creative with that, DH could be Walker in those situations if we were to sign Yuli for peanuts. Another something that should have been done previously. His power has been off since the hamate issue, but we know his defense and contact rate are still there, and for league minimum you just can't beat it.

Look at this flee on a nutsack.


My biggest regret is that Bregman won't be around to take that shite personally. #OpperationBTSOOTR

We signed some bum named Miguel Castro to a minor league deal with invite to spring training.

Reliever, had a 5.93 ERA in 11 games last year

Absolutely, even if it’s a minor league deal. If we successfully trade Pressly I think we do something bigger than that potentially

Happy belated New Year's DAT baws and bawette. May 2025 bring another exciting upcoming year and hopefully an OF who is actually worth a flying frick.
