CobraCommander Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Dylan Crews got some nice cabbage. Can he skate? Maybe he can play for the Caps too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 How much further will Crews be promoted this year? Another two weeks at Single-A then the rest of the season at Harrisburg? If he rakes at AA could he get a call-up to the bigs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know enough about contracts and player control but shouldn't we wait until next year? I could see us calling him up sooner if we were competing for 1st place but that isn't the case this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I think James Wood AA slump is over. Past 28 days (21 games) he's hitting a slash line of .272 / .352 / .630 for an OPS of .981 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would be good to keep him at a level too long though. Crews seems to want the next challenge like Harper did coming up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Wood and Crews will be up in 24 and 25 is the year of the run. I would not be suprised if 25 is similiar to 2012 run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A September call up shouldn’t be enough to impact service time especially if you’re assuming he’ll be up next year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t affect service time too much, but it does take away another spot on the 40 man roster unnecessarily. I think it would be difficult to bring up Crews and not Wood in September. It’d be exciting to see them, but I wouldn’t fault the Nats if they don’t call them up. I’d take the patient route here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could end up skipping Wilmington, but you’d think the Nats would want to throw them a bone. I think it’d be pretty dope to have a Harrisburg OF of Hassell, Crews, and Wood. Morales and Pickney need to go to Wilmington. Nobody on Wilmington is pushing a promotion. Pickney goes up, then you have four OFers needed ABs: Pickney, De la Rosa, Lile, and McKenzie.

Once Wood's SO rate starts declining he should be promoted to AAA. He's getting close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 And, considering the low expectations going in, finishing out of the cellar ahead of the Mets would be a season-ending chef’s kiss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starting pitching last year was atrocious. This year, it’s respectable. The infield defense is so much better too which helps the pitchers.

FIRE DAVEY!!! Honestly, I think they're all coming back, and they should. I was out on Coles earlier in the year, but the improvements Abrams and Ruiz have had, plus the years Candelario, Thomas, Adams (in a small sample), Joey Bats has turned it around. Plus, we are outscoring the Mets (LOL!) AND the Yankees, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, San Fransisco, and the entire AL Central (minus the Twins). Things are pointing up!

@DCGoldPants Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I know the Lerners would still like to sell. But a team with Rizzo locked up for a while is more valuable imo. This isn't coming in to Rivera and the Marty's to change. Rizzo is an asset. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I think this is the anti-tanking rules at play. No point in losing games if we can't improve our draft position, so might as well manage day-to-day rosters and games to get some wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out Stras and Corbin and it's like a $30M payroll. Maybe if you could tank, the lineups would be shuffled more for guys who aren't performing? 🤷 Would like to see them claw as close to 500 as possible by the end of the season.
