NL Notes: Rockies, Cardinals, Nationals

  • Pete Kerzel of MASNsports.com suggests the Nationals might not be finished in their search for a frontline catcher, despite the recent signing of Kurt Suzuki. The 35-year-old backstop may easily give the Nats 50 to 60 games behind the dish, but few teams employ a true workhouse catcher nowadays and Suzuki might be better suited as the lesser half of a catching tandem. Kerzel imagines the possible ways in which GM Mike Rizzo might pair Suzuki with Yasmani Grandal, J.T. Realmutoor Wilson Ramos, though he admits it is equally likely the Nationals head into next season with Suzuki atop the depth chart. Considering Suzuki was arguably the top option available this winter outside the big three listed above, it would be quite the coup for the Nats to come away with another top option at this juncture. Still, durability concerns for a 35-year-old backstop aren’t wholly unreasonable.

Ooooooh, LeMahieu at 2B would be NICE. Sign Justin Bour for 1B too...

 

LeMahieu would provide a lot of roster flexibility. You can either spend big on starting pitching knowing Rendon possibly walks next year, or you can extend Rendon and have Kieboom as a key trade piece to acquire a pitcher. 

 

There are also a half dozen or so other 2B who would be improvements for the Nats, and not that many potential buyers for them. That will be a position where you can get a bargain this offseason.

No on LeMahieu. Check out his career road splits. He's Wilmer Difo away from Coors.

 

LeMahieu: .673 Road OPS

Difo: .669 Career OPS.

Josh Donaldson to the Braves, 1 yr/$23M.

 

😡

 

He's played 160ish games the last 2 years. They'll have him for avout 80 or so games. 1 year deal, but he's not the player he was even 3 years ago. Not to pick on you, or anything :)
