    Looks legit

    I'd put Loperfido in there too, but he's got more work to do. Wagner, Clement, Horwitz, Jimenez...they're the high floor low ceiling guys. Not stars, not scrubs. Good guys to have to slide in whenever you need. Won't kill you, but won't be difference makers long term. That said, if I had to rank those 4 in terms of who would have the best chance of exceeding those expectations, probably Wagner, Horwitz, Clement and then Leo.

    Lukes ceiling is a 4th OF. He has virtually no useable power. 2300 PAs in the minors and just over 40 HRs. He's not a guy to worry about. Just look at his minor league track record and it's not a big revelation as to why he's never got a shot. At age appropriate levels in the upper minors he's been an average hitter with no pop. Age 22 at AA...wRC + of 101 with an ISO of .095 Age 23 at AA, improved to a whopping 107 wRC+, ISO .122 24, AAA, 57 wRC+, ISO 100. That was 2019, 2020 wiped out by COVID. 2021, Now 26, back at AAA, 115 wRC+, ISO .153. Literally nothing to be excited about. This is when he dumped by the Rays. Jays grabbed him for 2022, AAA, 27...111 and .140 Pure vanilla.

    Kikuchi shoved again for the Astros, 12 k over 7 innings vs The Royals. Griffin Conine splashed his first career HR into the bay at San Fran.
  5. John_Havok
    If you're worried that Lukes was somehow a hidden gem that just didn't get a fair shot at the 4th OF role...why?
  6. John_Havok
    Sure, but Roden surely wouldn't be in the running for a 4th OF in 2025 given that he doesnt play CF. He'd be a guy that would be moreso in the running for a fulltime corner OF gig if the power comes around, which ... while improving, still isn't where it needs to be.
  7. John_Havok
    Roden isn't on the 40 man, Lukes is. Probably his last chance to look good enough for a 4th OF role.

    We're mostly just discussing for the sake of discuss8ng at this point, not really advocating

    John_Havok replied to GD's topic in Other Sports

    While in town to be groomsmen at their sister's wedding that was to be today.
  10. John_Havok
    Yeah, I think it would probably go the opposite way though, like they'd sign a guy first, then trade Bassit. But I think he's here next season unless Atkins pulls off some wizardry
  11. John_Havok
    If it did, it was the very edge of a seam. That one was nowhere near as close as the one Springer got thrown out on a few weeks back.
  12. John_Havok
    Like, I get why a guy might think a bunt there is defensible ( i dont), but...doing it with a guy who's clearly never done it and doesn't practice it...that's just dumn
  13. John_Havok
    Oh for sure he'd be a guy they'd have to eat salary to move but they could get some warm body/ lotto ticket back. Besides, if they're under the tax already, there's no reason to shed salary. And even if they did as you said, who's taking him on just to pay him 21 million next season?
  14. John_Havok
    I mean, the history of the franchise, all the moments good and bad.....all of that stuff still happened. Whether they play in the current shithole or not. Eventually ya just have to let go of a substandard stadium, regardless of how historic it is. One thing I give Boston though, Yawkey way is a f***ing amazing place both before and after a game.
  15. John_Havok
    I know they'd never do this, but with a guy like Hill, why not move up in the batters box, its not like he's ever gonna blow it past you. More up and catch that curve way out front before it breaks off the plate.
  16. John_Havok
    History will be there whether the stadium is or not. That's the cool thing about history
  17. John_Havok
    But yeah, let's keep a solid metal wall out there because history and stuff. f*** player safety... Implode this f***ing dump already.
  18. John_Havok
    I agree. Varsho is not a 2 hole hitter.
  19. John_Havok
    Just on age alone...like, that's a solid 5-7 years of two guys who should be 5-7 fWAR. And I'd there's anything the Jays are flush with right now, it's capable young players that likely won't be stars, but won't be scrubs either. I know it's kind of a pipe dream, but if there's a time to throw money around, it's this offseason.
  20. John_Havok
    Naw, both would have some trade value in the offseason still. As long as they're under the tax there's no reason to dump salary for no return
  21. John_Havok
    What do you think the BoSox feel like tonight against Francis?
  22. John_Havok
    Even if Bo has that risk profile, he's on the books for 1 more year at 17 million. Why on earth would we trade that away to replace with someone worse, and more expensive, for longer. Makes zero sense I know you're not advocating it. The entire conversation about it is lunacy
  23. John_Havok
    First hit was a triple. Bet that doesnt happen very often
  24. John_Havok
    Giants putting Ray (hamstring) and Hicks (shoulder) on the IL.
  25. John_Havok
    It's not obvious?
