2023-2024 Offseason Thread

Also some good news they put Braxton, Eury, Cabrera, and Chargois on 15 day DL. Just good to see they don't expect 60 day stints heading into late May.

its 2024 and we still have bryan de la cruz rotting away in the 3 hole of our lineup for some fucking reason. I guess when a guy puts up a .637 OPS in spring on the back of a truly awful season last year you got to put him in the heart of the lineup

Garcia has a negative WAR in 3 of the last 4 years according to baseball references calculation of WAR. Also has a sub .326 slugging percentage in 3 of the last 4 years. pretty impressive.

Yep. Pretty stupid. At least he is at DH though?

Probably should be doing this vs RHP if this is the pool of players. Not sure how you can put DLC over three vastly superior hitters behind him.

L Arraez
S Bell
L Jazz
R Burger
L Sanchez
R DLC
L Gordon
R Anderson
R Fortes

I would just move anderson up and DLC down in today's lineup. I get that anderson was awful last year but he has the track record so you have to give him a chance given the other options. Ptu him in a role to succeed in front of jazz and burger, not right before fortes and gordon.

a deservedly mediocre crowd for opening day. maybe it will fill in

[fish16]

DLC in midseason form. fucking awful player

Is there any doubt that Dane Myers is a better player later than DLC right now? Or Troy Johnston?

Yes. Ask me about Garcia though.


But DLC should not be batting 3rd against a right hander and it's incredible they don't have Jazz-Burger-Sanchez 3-4-5. I am seriously perplexed at WTF they are thinking here when it's so obvious. Pathetic.

i would rather see garcia than DLC. neither should be on the roster though. at least garcia has had success before. DLC sucks

[Nick]

Replace DLC, Garcia and Bride with Myers, Johnston and Edwards and this team is way more interesting. Not good, but interesting.

[fish16]

id be ok if jazz never took the extra base and actually stayed healthy for 162 games. He crosses the line from aggressive to reckless far too often.

[fish16]

anderson now just 20 xbh's shy of wendles total from last year. He was a great high ceiling signing.

[Nick]

Great first impression for Anderson.

Weak ass shit from the Nicks.
