2232 - Players off to poor starts - can they be salvaged?
Take 10 with Tim – May 3, 2024—There will be only eight questions because one of them is quite long. I will limit it to an hour.
1.How are your teams doing?
2.The all-bad start to the season team. Any hope of a recovery
C: Gabriel Moreno (ARI, 11th catcher off the board): .238, 9 Runs, 13 RBI, 0 HR, 0 SB,
1B: Vlad Guerrreo (Tor, 5th) - .231, 11 runs, 11 RBI, 3 HR, 0 SB
2B: Gleyber Torres (NYY, 6th) - .215, 14 runs, 6 RBI, 0 HR, 3 SB
3B: Austin Riley (ATL, 2nd) - .235, 17 runs, 16 RBI, 2 HR, 0 SB
SS: Bo Bichette (Tor, 8th) - .205, 9 runs, 11 RBI, 1 HR, 3 SB
OF: Corbin Carroll (AZ, 4th) - .197, 13 runs, 5 RBI, 1 HR, 8 SB
OF: Randy Arozarena (TB, 13th) - .139, 12 runs, 9 RBI, 3 HR, 4 SB
OF: Wyatt Langford (Tex, 30th) - .239, 13 runs, 11 RBI, 1 HR, 1 SB
SP: Joe Musgrove (SD, 30th) – 41 IP, 6.37 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, 36K, 3 wins
RP: Josh Hader (Hou, #2) – 12.2 IP, 6.39 ERA, 2 saves
Any other player or players you would like to throw into the fold.
3.We had three of the more prominent prospects get the call this weekend. How much are you spending on each:
a.Joey Loperfido (Hou, OF/1B)
b.Tyler Black (Mil, 2B/3B/1B)
c.Jordan Beck (Col, OF)
4.Three more prominent prospects have to be up soon, don’t they? When do they arrive?
a.Kyle Manzardo (Cle, 1B)
b.Junior Caminero (TB, 3B)
c.Paul Skenes (Pit, RHP)
5.Kyle Bradish made his long-awaited season debut yesterday and looked good. Are you starting him with confidence?
6.I’m really bummed about Mike Trout. He looked great, and out of nowhere, he tears his meniscus and is gone for 2 to 3 months. Given how slow he’s been to heal of late, I would not be surprised if he is out the rest of the season?
a.Give me some names you would grab if you roster Trout.
b.He’s limping to the finish line. Does he make it to the Hall of Fame? First ballot?
c.I’ll provide you my comp for him…I think you’ll like it.
7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
