2023 Game Thread

I say take a pitcher. Let our pitching gurus get a hold of him then deal him for a bat, lol.

[sports24/7]

There are a lot of good college hitters in the range of where Miami picks. So the “safe” and “close” route this year should, in theory, net them a better prospect than a Berry, that also has a defensive position (maybe even a premium one).

I said this is the Minors thread but I want Nolan Schanuel at #10.

• Ridiculously good plate discipline(138 BB v 57 K; .385/.516/.698 line in 172 G/620 AB across 3 college seasons).
• Good glove at 1B
• Left handed hitter
• Projectable at 6'3/195 and should move quickly while adding more to his already good power(46 HR in college)
• Fairly effortless short and compact swing
• Rare 1B who provides base stealing potential(31 SB v 4 CS in his 172 G)
• Local kid(Boynton Beach and then Florida Atlantic) making him marketable if he makes the Majors
• Predicted to go a bit lower in the 1st so would be under slot

davis pretty much guaranteed to be out for the year now. 3-6 months out.

Still no idea when Edward "Will only be out 1 turn in the rotation" cabrera will be back.

Just food for thought…..

I wonder if the FO and its inner circle know something about Xavier Edwards that we don’t know?

The Padres were ok moving on from him? Was there a reason? Attitude?

What else could be the reason he’s still in the minors?

He fills the same niche as Berti but Berti is making $2 million

Rays

He spent 4 years in the Padres organization as well.

So…….Padres and Rays.

Padres got him for Blake snell so it’s not like they dealt him for nothing. They also dealt trea turner at one point for I think will myers in a 3 team deal if I remember correctly? Rays have Franco and lowe up the middle and had a 40 man roster crunch and Edwards had a bad year last year so they decided to move on for non 40 roster guys, who btw are actually looking good for them last time I checked.

It’s not like the Padres gave up on him he was in a major trade.

I wouldn’t say the Rays gave up on him either, but definitely closer to that situation.

Arraez just golfed one out to CF. Beautiful to watch

[Namaste]

Guys, I love Xavier. Got to see him play in person at North Broward Prep

I’m just trying to come up with an answer.

[fish16]

Segura is swinging a better bat since coming back. I think he’s going to have a really good second half

obviously a small sample but before the hit last inning he had a .743 ops and a 5/4 k/bb ratio. So he’s probably somewhere around .760 ops since coming back now


i don’t think they are going for a 3b anyways most likely (I think they go ss, 1b or corner outfielder), but I would count on him getting hot and bouncing back and getting a lot closer to his career numbers by the end of the year

[fish16]

Jesus Sanchez is who Lou wanted DLC to be. Look at his baseball savant page. He’s having a great year

[fish16]

Dane myers really hits the ball hard
