There you go! Sounds like fun. Ramirez hit .320/.365/.836 in AA last season. Dean went .345/.410/.922 in AA/AAA. Who are the seven that are barring the way for these two? Sure as hell wouldn't be Brinson, Harrison, Sierra or Galloway. I'm not saying Dean and Ramirez are rock stars - this is an indictment against the rest of the roster and farm.
Mish odds on Realmuto acquisition:
Braves 35%
Rays 15%
Yankees 15%
Padres 10%
Reds 10%
Astros 10%
Field 5%
You have to like "the field" here, which would include the Indians and Rockies, the teams who could use him most.

Originally posted by Lee Stone View PostColor me flush with excitement. Our opening day OF might be Austin Dean in left, Herrera in CF and Harold Ramirez in RF.
TBD Catcher, Wallach/Holaday
Cooper, O'Brien
Castro
Rojas, Riddle
Prado
TBD Veteran
Brinson, Herrera
Anderson
That seems right to me.

Originally posted by fauowls44 View PostI still have no idea how Rivera stayed on the ML roster all season. I know winning wasn't really a concern, but it's still pretty amazing that he pulled that off. Herrera's numbers aren't good and they are still significantly better than what Rivera put up last year.
As for Herrera, he's only 25 and has been good in AAA the last 2 seasons. He can play multiple spots and like Lou said, he wasn't a complete disaster with the bat in his first taste of the Majors (against RHP anyway). As a free utility guy, he's worth a shot.

Originally posted by ¿NICK? View PostThe time to send him to AAA was before last season. This is a make or break year for Brinson he's 25 years old. Gotta let him sink or swim.

Originally posted by fish16 View Postthis. whatever you think of the guy, there is 0 chance barring injury he isnt in our starting OF all year long. Sierra needs to be in AAA all year. I really dont get why the marlins and cardinals have rushed the guy the last 2 years. He has shown improvement after slow starts at every level and it was obvious what was gonna happen when they rushed him yet again.

Originally posted by lou View PostWell if he is atrocious another 6 weeks to open, I think you send him down, but you open with him. He probably won't be as atrocious though, but maybe that's wrong.

Originally posted by fish16 View Postwell ya, i was operating under the likely impression that he will improve and make adjustments. still mindblowing they even opened with him on the roster last year given how obvious it was from his ST that he would struggle.

Originally posted by lou View PostMarlins claimed Rosell Herrera, who I didn't know existed prior to this - https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.asp...11&position=OF
Looks like a strong candidate to be the backup CF/25th man. Played a little 2B competently (defensively) last year. He was a good prospect in 2013?
Someone will have to be DFA'd I believe. Shouldn't be an issue with Galloway still hanging on.

He actually split hits and had a .650 OPS against RHP last year? I mean, this is theoretically a big improvement over Ortega/Sierra/Shuck, who somehow got 450 PA and rewarded them with -2.8 WAR. 2019 baby! When a AAA replacement bench player can net you 3 wins!
He is a 4th OF who can also play 2B and 3B. Pretty much DD with less bat

Teams in "field" are LAD and Col but neither will meet the price
OF is still looking like
Dean/Cooper(1B)
Brinson/Herrera OR Sierra
BA
They want a FA like Jon Jay but are waiting till price comes down

I think Sierra can be a Jarrod Dyson guy for us longterm if we develop him correctly. Idk why we started him in AAA last year and why we brought him up or why the cardinals handled him the way they did the year before. He's still just 22.

When Dyson was 22, he had 225 PA professionally between R/A ball and didn't get to AAA until he was 25. Sierra has the same amount of PA in the bigs, and destroyed R and A ball along the way. He's far ahead of him on the development spectrum. Give him 1,000 minor league PA and hope for the best. No rush.
