Breaking we just got Donovan!

Nice pickup, but what are the chances Cole Young or Colt Emerson outproduce Brendan Donovan this season? In 2027?

SoB targeted Donovan at the very beginning of the off season. Thought it was an interesting idea then and here we are, kinda full circle. So if leadoff gets credit for the Milton Bradley trade SoB gets credit for Donovan

I had us trading JC for Donovan in my Off season plan. I wish we would have also done the second part and we would have a full time RF of the future.

Do you still have access to that trade evaluator? I'd be curious how it scores a straight-up trade of Donovan for what the Ms gave up and Williamson for what TB gave St.L.

I posted it on page 3 of this thread. Slight over pay for the M's. DT thinks they have Peete overvalued though. They have Williamson worth more than what the Rays sent to Saint Louis.

Okay thanks Captain. Didn't the Mariners give up their round B cb pick (#68)? That would have a trade value > 2.5.

I did. Really small sample size at T-mobile he was 0-4 with 2 K's in one game in 2023. Kirby was the starter. He grounded out, Popped out and Struck out against Kirby and then Topa struck him out again.

Looking at the NL marine layer parks, he actually has hit quite well. .308/438/.577 at petco and .419/.471/.710 at Oracle. Over 1.000 OPS in both stadiums.

Are either Petco or Oracle close to being as pitcher friendly a park as T-mobile has been?

Yes, Oracle is 5th toughest to hit and Petco is 2nd toughest to hit.

So he hits better in pitcher's parks? That bodes well...

Close to zero unless Donovan gets hurt and Emerson plays 150+ games.
