He wasn't ready to be an every day 1B or DH last year, and he needed regular AB. Being a rule 5 draft, M's would have had to keep him on the roster all year long. Unfortunate that it wasn't this year the M's were able to draft him in the rule 5 draft, because they would have had a spot for him.
Exactly. That is tied with the Gordon trade as JDs worst. Totally abandoned control the zone mantra in both cases.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 3:19 amHe wasn't ready to be an every day 1B or DH last year, and he needed regular AB.

Then again, I wouldn't have minded him having Ryon Healy's spot last year and kept Pagan.
Exactly, he won't turn out to be a big loss most likely, just can think of 4 or 5 guys I would have sacrificed from our roster first to keep the 1B.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 3:19 amHe wasn't ready to be an every day 1B or DH last year, and he needed regular AB.

It was "win now" mode, and they traded anything with a pulse in the minors. I wanted the rebuild 1 1/2 years before it happend. Oh Well. I'm happy with how its going so far. Need a good offseason and a good draft, but early returns are encouraging in the Minors.

I guess its working. His OPS in Ark is 2x what it was in WV.Is that out of 5 guys?D-train wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 3:50 amWhite has the highest OPS for a 1B in the Texas league.........by 52 points.

He is in an extreme pitcher's park for half his games, and he's still developing. OPS is .130 higher on the roadbpj wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 4:50 amIs that out of 5 guys?D-train wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 3:50 amWhite has the highest OPS for a 1B in the Texas league.........by 52 points.

Are any of the other 4 even prospects?
Theres also a Catcher, a 2B, a 3B and a center fielder ahead of him in OPS.
I don't know, an .826 OPS in the minor leagues for a 1B is weak to put it mildly. There's only so much defense to be had at 1B to begin with.
