JK vs. Emerson comparison

[Gametime]

In a crap sandwich of what we have with Haggerty, JK, Dom, and Marlowe I rather play JK. I think the real answer is getting a new player. The problem is the guy doing it is Jerry. His Free Agent Eval has been horrid, and trading for position players is just as bad.

I know I don't want Dom there. Weak defense and .196 .213 OBP and .691 OPs Sept and .238 .280 and .670. Dom is a 4th outfielder at best. Marlowe has some nice upside and Sam is just Sam.

We need something else there. Especially the weakness that France has become. We can't have holes at LF, 1st, and honestly 3rd. And we could have a big hole at RF too. I just don't see Teo resigning here.

Is Jerry really going to have enough money to fix. NOPE-----------------Stanton has tight pockets. And we need a 1st, 3rd, RF, and LF. I can see 1 or 2 of those addressed and let it ride with JK, Dom and crew to fill. Winker, Wong, Lastella, etc. has proved that.

You are right on the money, man.

Really, he's projected 2027

There is always hope they exceed their projection, JRod, arod, Griffey and many others

J Rod has been great, but I am not sure he has exceeded his projection, has he?

He is 22 yo and already put up 11.5 WAR. No prospect is ever expected to do that.

Willie Bloomquist put up 1.7 WAR in 14 seasons. I don't think he met his lowly projections.

I am pretty positive he wasn’t expected to make team out of ST last year, in fact I would bet on it without looking it up

He was also not supposed to be among our best center fielders and was bound to be a corner outfielder in MLB, so he has definitely exceeded expectations defensively if nothing else.

Sticking in CF may be the best thing he could ever do for his career WAR stats.

Yeah, and the stolen bases. The speed seemed unexpected

You need a band aid until Emerson arrives at 3B. Matt Chapman would've been nice.

Can Harry Ford transition there? I hear is defense behind the dish is so-so. Isn't he athletic enough to play any position? Wasn't this guy supposed to be the next Russell Martin?

[Michael K.]

Got it.
