right now you have Wong in a platoon with Haggerty/Moore
OF right now is whoever is hitting and healthy of Marlowe, JK, TT, Haggerty, Moore. and Hummel
DH Murphy, plus all those above

The point is that none of those players you listed above should answer the question at LF or DH.
Go get Bryan Reynolds and Kodai SengaSeattle or Bust wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:08 pmGuess that also closes the door on Lowe, Anderson too...
They better get a fucking sick left fielder and starting pitcher now.
Unless you want to dangle Kirby or Gilbert, I don't think we have enough fire power to get that trade done. I don't think the Brash/ Ford / Dollard types are going to move the needle enough to tempt the Pirates. Other teams certainly would have more to offer.Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 11:31 pmGo get Bryan Reynolds and Kodai SengaSeattle or Bust wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:08 pmGuess that also closes the door on Lowe, Anderson too...

Sure we won the trade but the question is did it move the needle enough. looking at 2nd base specifically we let Frazier walk who had a 0.9 WAR so we really added about 1.6 WAR at 2B. We finished 16 games out and we only have a few spaces where we can add significant WAR. We now have one less open spot where we can plug in an impact bat. We need to be adding more than a couple WAR here and there and this move narrows our window of prospective players who can actually move the needle.Big_Maple wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 11:59 pmDT said it best - this is a basic addition by subtraction.
Look, I know you all are way savvier than I am with stats, but here’s a really basic measure of how well this trade impacts us:
Winker had a WAR of 0.4 and Toro’s was -0.7 so they had a combined WAR of -0.3
Wong’s WAR last season was 2.5
So we just added 2.8 WAR, and we got $1.75M in pocket money.
I know that’s an oversimplification, but there you have it….addition by subtraction!
