2025 Rosterbation

It is curious. Then again, they have access to vast information we do not. Maybe they knew they weren't getting Burnes or Fried and moved quickly to secure what they could.

One area of the Giants roster that they'll likely need to break up is the Wilmer Flores, LaMonte Wade Jr., and Jerar Encarnación group at 1B/DH. That's a lot of roster spots and not enough defensive versatility/production.

I love Wilmer, but he is a negative asset at this point. He will likely be DFA’d to make room before ST.

Jerar is a tough subject. His defense is better than you would think (in the OF, he is not a 1B), but is his hit tool enough to carry him? I am not convinced yet, though I like what I have seen from him.

Wade a great place holder. But he is made of glass. What would we be able to get for him in a trade? I suspect that his price would not be enough to make it worth it, unless they are simply making room for Eldridge.

I do agree that Flores should be the first of the group dumped. I doubt Wade would bring much back considering his lack of power (for a 1st baseman) and health questions, if the Giants were to trade him. It would be interesting to know how the Giants view Encarnacion’s hit tool.
Back to Wade, did the Giants move him to 1st base due to a crowded outfield, to keep him healthy or was his defense lacking that much in the outfield?

Good question. I never really understood the move myself. I always thought his OF defense was at worst passable (but I ignorantly thought it was pretty good). I suspect it was more of a position of need and we had excess OFers.

Is there any way to lookup what these projections were in the past to compare them to actuality?

I certainly hope he does that well in 2025 but I expect him to be closer to .268/.320/.398 for the year.
