2021 Trade Deadline

[msgkings322]

Oh joy, a shortstop with a .712 OPS who plays his home games in Coors Field. Just what the team needs.

Yep. Bad trade deadline for us.

 

[msgkings322]

Coulda used either here of course.

Ok, than I was attacking you. LOL


All teams have their own farm depths. Our #15 prospect 5 years ago does NOT equate to our #15 prospect now. We have a MUCH deeper farm now than we had then. Trying to compare the two is a fools errand.

Comparing our top prospect 5 years ago (Beede?) to our top prospect now (Luciano) doesn’t make sense either. Beede was our top prospect more because our farm was somewhat light. Beede was a legit prospect, sure, but he was no Luciano.

I understand that depth is different for each team. I wasn't comparing our rankings to previous years. Not even trying to make straight comparisons. Just trying to illustrate how that trade would have looked for us had the Giants traded off the same ranked prospects.

Yep. Bad trade deadline for us.

If the guy cannot figure out how to hit this year in Coors, how in the world is he going to figure it out in SF, while playing a new position, with the guy who "helped" Tauchman?

Also we don't need more hitting

Yes, but it we get a hitter, how about one who hits and has actually played in the outfield this year?

Sure. Not needed even then. When all our injured guys come back we don't really have room in the outfield anyway.

You know where we have room? The closer spot.

Didn’t he hit well here tho? Not quite Goldschmidt, but I remember him hitting HR’s here.

not that I want him.

 

[LHG]

Story's career road slash - .242/.310/.437
And at Oracle Park - .249/.309/.341

He's hit 3 at Oracle, in 173 at-bats.
However, he's hit 18 against the Giants in Coors Field. 90 of his 147 home runs have been in Coors.

I mean, we don't have him yet so fingers crossed we never do

No Story please

 

[calsnowskier]

Bryant is official. Rumors are we gave up Bart and Wade

 

[stanford the manford]

Bryant reported to SF!!
Hopefully we didn't give up the future

 

[calsnowskier]

You gotta figure they think they can resign him if they gave up that package.

Wade is a lefty beast, but he is purely a platoon player at this point.

This is disappointing unless Bryant is a beast in the playoffs and we win the World Series (and/or he signs a team friendly extension and continues to do well).

FZ is no longer my BFF

This sucks so much. Guess McGee will be the closer who brings us a title.

Some truth here but lefty platoon guys start 2/3 of the time...just like Posey.

It's not that we gave up Wade, Bryant is an upgrade there. It's losing Bart for a position we don't need. If we're gonna lose Bart, get a closer.

 

[calsnowskier]

Apparently the package is NOT Bart/Wade…

The reports about Longo have worried me, though. I fear we may not see him again this year, or only get him at 70% or so.
