Ball Security Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Thought Gallo was much older than 30. The hope is that he goes on a heater before the deadline. Not getting distracted by his ugly batting average, he’s overall a fairly average hitter. 2023 OPS+ 101. Career 109. Dreadful 2022 season. Very good in 2021. Haven’t seen the corresponding 40 man move (Call, maybe). I would have rather gone Brandon Belt if they insisted on a lefty. But this is overall meh. Slightly better than Dickerson. As of now, without a minors push: Abrams 6 Thomas 9 Meneses 3 Ruiz 2 Garrett DH Garcia 4 Senzel 5 Gallo 7 Robles 8 Millas, Young, Vargas, Nunez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Morales makes MLB PIpeline top 10 3B prospects. He and House are both there. House is the second youngest in that group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hoskins going for 2/34 to Milwaukee, it appears. Should have been on that, in my opinion. Unless they plan to use that $10-$15M in savings on a frontline pitcher, which doesn’t seem likely at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possible he didn't want to come to a rebuild, but still feels like we could have topped that--3 years, $18m per? Hell $20m per wouldn't be outrageous. Feels like a miss. Who knows, they could be in on Blake Snell...more likely Blake Treinen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I will say I'm getting the spring training vibes man the social media put out a post where the Nats are loading up the trucks and driving down to Florida, soon pitchers and catchers will report. And Rizzo, Martinez and Doolittle will hold a hot stove event for season ticket holders this Saturday so I look forward to seeing how the fans feel over the last few years and the progress on the "rebuild" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Looking at the roster though--we have some young arms we're going to want to give innings: Gore, Gray are locks, Irvin probably is too. Cavalli is coming back, and we have Jackson Rutledge that needs to show what he has at the MLB level. That will shove Williams to the pen later.

Cavalli is coming back, and we have Jackson Rutledge that needs to show what he has at the MLB level. That will shove Williams to the pen later. We got lucky with SP health last year. Things will get pretty thin, pretty quickly if Gore or Gray have problems. There’s still a logjam of SP out there that may not get settled until the end January/early February. I could see us land Ryu and try to move him when Cavalli gets back. As of now, it makes sense to start Rutledge in the rotation and move Williams to the pen. Bullpen: Finnegan, Harvey, Rainey, Floro, Weems, Garcia, Adon, Williams. I did read something about Houston being in on Finnegan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Baseball America has their org top 30 out. (I haven’t seen the full list, subscription) Guys who have been added to the system within the year: 1 - Crews 5 - Morales 12 - Hurtado 14 - Sykora 15 - Herz 17 - Nunez 19 - Pickney 24 - Feliz 25 - Made Industry guys sure are high on Hurtado. Should be a fun watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floro, Weems, Adon make a solid bridge. Also, don't forget Ferrer who I think will be good and Brzykcy coming back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I don’t get the need for five jerseys. Home, away, and alternate. The one on the left would be a nice ST jersey or batting practice top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I've wanted a pullover for a while. Not sure I like this or any of these. Will wait to see how they combo them with hats. I miss the patriotic curly W blues they had I think for Friday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I forgot all about the 3-color hat. Might make the pullover home whites look better. (I still hate the capital behind the W) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I honestly think the new DC logo and the block letters look ok but they should be combined as the alternate. I don't like the pullover at all...not a fan of pullovers as a uniform in general. Nike is going to screw up baseball uniforms now with absurd made up rules about having limited time for each. Same thing happened to the NBA, can't even identify some teams by their traditional colors or logos because they change so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m get that minimalism is the style of the time but oof sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
