I would be fine with that. I'm not expecting him to be a great player or anything, but as a 4th/5th OF, he seems more likely to stick than Alford. Davis has historically hit lhp in the minors, is a very good defensive player, and is fast. Maybe a bootleg RH Jarrod Dyson. Use him in very specific situations and he'll have value.

Damn didn't see you post that. I wanted to be the lone Mets backer. They will surprise people.

He also had Aaron Judge levels of exit velocity during that span if I recall. I can understand Shatkins giving him more rope. It's a question of whether the team should value Fisher and Alford as much as they seem to rather than look for a replacement and push Fisher to 4th OF.
-
I'm down for signing Puig, but Shatkins seems to really like Hernandez and Fisher, and signing Puig could cut into both of their opportunities. With Grichuk in CF, that opens up RF/DH for Hernandez and Fisher with Alford as a 4th outfielder (to the delight of many on this board).

General 2020 Blue Jays Discussion Thread

Jays clearly preparing for Vlad to move off 3B. Shaw is like a bootleg version of Moose (assuming he bounces back). Between targeting players who can cover 3B/1B, and Shapiro's recent words that seemed directed at Vlad's weight/conditioning, it's only a matter of time. -
Mets will win the NL East and make the World Series.

MLB is getting some positive reviews from social media/ESPN for the players being mic’d, from what I’ve seen online. Only a matter of time before every team does this.
-
Vlad can still be an elite fat player, but if he doesn't get in better shape, then his peak/prime won't last very long. No question he will move off third, maybe as early as 2021, which will benefit the team and Vlad himself most likely.
-
Glad to see Yelich get paid despite being locked in about the most team friendly contract out there.
-
Wow, Sale has 5/145 left on his contract. Wish Dombrowski stayed in Boston a bit longer.
-
Yeah don't watch the NFL. I'm sure it can get annoying depending on who is mic'd up, but baseball letting players show their personality is a good thing, even if it's only spring games.
-
I'm liking MLB trying new things. Giving the players a mic in the regular season might not be as popular with players due to the games actually meaning something, but this is a great way to show their personalities. If they have done this before, I haven't seen it.

“The Airport” is ridiculous. Please don’t do that to Nate. -
I’m really rooting for Alford but man between the K’s and the D it’s not looking good.
-
I wonder if a tanking team is going to give Tebow a chance before he decides to hang it up. Might sell a few tickets even though he will not be good. He’s popular in the States.

Don't really pay attention to MLB's YouTube channel, but glad to see they are providing different kinds of content now. Seems like a no brainer to do more stuff like this during the off season.

I guess my pleas of having Keith Law's name and content banned from this forum will never be enforced.

I don't see both Drury and Panik on the roster together. Seems like they'd have the same role except Panik can at least act like a competent big league hitter every now and then. I'm only going by the article that Panik is in the lead to make the team. If that's the case, then I would think Drury heads to AAA. I'm not a fan of Tellez either, especially as a DH, but if he's making the team, then I can't imagine he'd be a bench player since he provides no defensive value at all. He's either the starting DH or in Buffalo, imo. If they like Fisher as much as they seem to, then they could leave DH open and have a five man crew of Fisher, Panik, Drury, Alford, and McGuire (one of them would play the field/DH, most likely Fisher, while the other four on the bench). But again that puts Drury and Panik both on the bench and that seems like a pointless situation to be in, especially since Drury has been awful lately.
-
I think the most likely scenario is a bench of Fisher, Panik, Alford, and McGuire, with Tellez at DH. They seemed to imply that Bichette is going to play 150+ games at short next year, so they don't really care to have a SS on the bench (Espinal likely gets the call up if Bo has to miss time). The OF of Gurriel/Grichuk/Hernandez is a scary mix of injury prone and inconsistent, so two extra OF's on the bench may not be a bad idea. Biggio can cover 1B and OF, and Shaw can cover 3B, so there's some versatility there. I prefer keeping DH open so players can move around, but Shatkins seems to like Tellez. Sounds like Drury was tendered a contract just to keep his rights and put him in AAA. They must really, really like him.
-
Considering the timing of the TJS, Severino obviously misses all of 2020, but likely misses most or all of 2021 as well if you use 18 months as the more realistic cut off for a SP after the surgery. That's a really bad break for the Yankees. Severino looks really good now for signing that extension. He will make $10.5m in 2020 and $10.75m in 2021 which are both likely to be wash seasons. If he went through year to year arb, he would have been f***ed.
-
Honestly I don't know why they haven't signed Puig. Can be the primary DH and play the field occasionally as well. Seems like an easy fix. Tellez optioned to AAA, Fisher as the 4th OF, and Alford traded to Baltimore for international money (because that's probably what will happen at some point) to clear up a 40 man roster spot.
