Around the League...non Padres

Quote from WindsorUK on September 3, 2020, 12:04 pmLooks like we swapped Franmil for Nola?
Think I'd rather have Reyes as our DH for the next decade.
Still, Nola is a MAJOR upgrade offensively from Hedges and will bridge the gap from now until Campusano.
Liking our chances.
There's no way to claim we didn't "lose" the Franmil Reyes for Trammell trade... but I don't regret it at all.
When we traded for him, no one knew who "Trent Grisham" was, or what "Covid" was. These 2 developments led to DH in the NL in 2020 & likely 2021, and the rest is history.
I agree (100% with hindsight) that I'd rather have Franmil over Nola... but I think we're going to LOVE Nola. The fact that he can play other positions & hit is huge. RH DH? Keep 3 C? He opens up all kinds of possibilities with his skillset, and is already getting rave reviews from P's & coaching staff.

This took too long! Former Padres roundup:
BREWERS
- Luis Urias 78 AB .269/.345/.321 3 XBH, 0 HR, 22 K good OBP, but NO power
- Eric Lauer 3 games, 2 starts disastrously bad: ERA 12+ WHIP 2.25 BAA .357 sent down to Alt site
- Eric Yardley 16 G 1.69 ERA 16 IP 1.44 WHIP .250 BAA 8 BB, 14 K
- but Brewers best statistical P: Jedd Gyorko 1 IP, 0 ERA 🙂
RAYS
- Manuel Margot 101 AB .267 / .339 / .366 8 XBH, 0 HR, 9 SB
- Hunter Renfroe 97 AB .155 / .231 / .392 11 XBH (6 HR), 26 K
- Xavier Edwards & Esteban Quiroz @ Alt site
ROYALS
- Edward Olivares 22 AB .364 /.364./.545 2B, HR
- Franchy Cordero 26 AB .154 / .185 / .231 now IL-45
- Ronald Bolanos like Lauer; 2 BAD starts 0-2, only 3.66 IP, 12+ERA 3.00 WHIP .471 BAA
MARINERS (Padres "North")
- Nick Margevicius 7 G, 4 S 25.2 IP 3.86 ERA 1.13 WHIP .247 BAA
- Ty France 6 - 17 .353/.450
- Luis Torrens 4-15 .267/.313
- Taylor Trammell & Jimmy Yacabonis @ Alt site. Andres Munoz IL-60. Cameos: Seth Frankhoff, Walker Lockett
INDIANS (Padres "East") ... 11 players in their 60-man pool incl 8 on 4o-man are former Padres! Root for them in AL!
- Franmil Reyes 150 AB .313 / .377 / .527 16 XBH incl 8 HR, 45 K .... "the one that got away"
- Josh Naylor 7-24 .208 across the board 0 BB, 0 XBH
- Austin Hedges 0-4..... 4 K
- Cal Quantrill 3 G, 3.2 IP 0.00 ERA / 1.36 WHIP / .294 BAA
- Logan Allen 2 G, 7.2 IP 4.70 / 1.96 / .310 down to Alt site
- Phil Maton! 15 G 14.1 IP 2.51 / 1.05 / .226
- Adam Cimber 13 G 10.2 IP 4.22 / 1.31 / .302
- Brad Hand 16 G 14.2 IP 2.45 / 0.89 / .180 12-12 Saves
- Gabe Arias, Joey Cantillo, Owen Miller all at Alt site
Indians have gotten the best of us so far on the: Trammell (F. Reyes & L. Allen), Mejia (Hand & Cimber), and especially "Intl Pool $" (Maton) deals ... maybe Hedges is our revenge.
OTHERS
- Travis Jankowski (Reds) 1-15, 2 BB down to Alt site
- Gerardo Reyes (Angels) Alt site

Nice to see Olivares, France, Torrens off to good starts.
The Grisham/Davies deal has to be by far the most lopsided trade in MLB this year. I knew Davies was > Lauer, but didn't expect anything close to what he AND Grisham have done.
This jumps out: last year's 2B & CF: 0 HR in 179 AB! This year's: counting 100% Grisham, 75% Cronenworth, 33% Profar...
approximately: 300+ AB 16-2B, 4-3B, 13 - HR ..... with WAY better OBP... the difference between contending & pretending...
The Indians active roster is literally 25% Padres including about half their Bullpen. Mejia is likely never going to turn the Hand/Cimber trade into a "win", but still some wildcard upside/value there. Obviously Trammell for F. Reyes(& L. Allen) really stings with DH now, but at least Trammell has been "Preller-ized" into Austin Nola+.
Will be interesting to see if edge of roster "rebounders": Yardley, Margevicius, and especially Maton can sustain their results, or if it's flash in the pan short season. Same might be true in reverse for Renfroe, Urias, others... but can't say I miss them. Our Offense STARTING WITH OBP speaks volumes... DO miss Margot right now though.

Just imagine this lineup(and the dugout) with Franmil as the every day DH!
How much fun would they be having?
#735 · September 9, 2020, 1:03 pm
Would love to have Franmil back, that trade plus Tatis Jr. injury totally scuttled the second half of last year but that's not going to happen and I think it has been discussed on this thread or elsewhere why that made sense at the time. The same thing could be said about Mejia since basically all we had was Hedges at c and we knew he couldn't hit. I would say don't completely write off Mejia as a bust; sure Hand is performing well, but after he left our bullpen (until the start of this season) was still good; he really only pitched for us for one complete year and RP are notoriously volatile. Mejia has noticeably improved behind the plate and if his hitting was impaired by injury, then that explains why the exit velocity was down and him hitting those fly balls to the warning track and not crisply in the gaps or over the wall. He still likes to hack away, but his K rate is not unacceptable. This one needs further evaluation and I think he eventually splits time with Campusano and Nola behind the plate or rotating at DH or elsewhere as a valuable piece in this offense unless traded. I believe Hand hits FA unless a 10M option is taken up this year. I'm all for our ex-Padres doing well because that makes it easier to make a trade when it is perceived you got value for value.

Just waiting to hear from the Marlins manager about Duvall hitting a grand slam against his team when the Braves are up 16 runs in the 7th.
Obviously Duvall and the Braves are unaware of Baseball's unwritten rules as well....

The Brewers score 19 and would've lost by 10 if they had played Atlanta.
#738 · September 10, 2020, 7:18 am
And the Marlins scored NINE runs and still lost by 20!
lol

Of all things Austin Hedges breaks up Brady Singers No hit bid with 2 outs in the 8th with a single.
