2026 Prospects Thread

How Stevenson fits and where Cal plays is a 2028 problem if all goes well, but more likely 2029. Naylor is only signed through 2030, which is his age 33 season. Maybe things get crowded for a year or two but I don't see a huge issue.

Yeah, it's the kind of problem you want to have. Heaven forbid they have too many sluggers

Naylor needs to be a slugger again for it to be a "problem"

Naylors underlying numbers at least seem positive. I was just thinking the only real issue I have is with Cal. The article you posted about his metrics

Yeah that was SCARY. How does that happen going from 60 bombs to that at age 29.

Yeah, we still search for answers. I really don't buy the age thing. To a certain extent in terms of diminishing performance over the life of a contract. But the falling off a cliff stuff I don't buy. Because a guy is six months older he suddenly can no longer hit a baseball. Its convenient but I'm still stuck with the why.
