With the way Camargo has played, I'm fine with him being the everyday third baseman for the future. I'd be fine with trading Austin Riley in the offseason if it helped us get a true ace.

no way, Riley is going to be special

 

[Chewbaccer]

Or move Camargo or Riley to RF.

If we can't get Harper, I hope we bring Markakis back.

Riley has got too much Power to give away IMO, he is a 30HR a year guy. I would move Johan or Riley to the OF.

He might, but there was also a time when a hot shot third base prospect was supposed to be the guy that took Chipper's job back in the mid 2000's. Andy Marte didn't last too long in the big leagues, and it wasn't due to injury.

You've gotta have good prospects, but until they get to the show and prove it, they're all just prospects with no guarantee.

Jordan Schafer was once one of the top ranked prospects in all of baseball.

I hope im wrong but I got a feeling AA thinks Acuna is our CF of the future and is gonna try to move Inciarte this offseason.

Don't give him away. You get a proven stud in return.

I don't disagree, but I would take that chance with Riley. A guy I work with frequently tells me that he heard a scout once describe Riley as the best 3B prospect he's seen in 20+ years.

He definitely thinks that and Acuna is rated as a plus defender and he played center in the minors. He looks like he needs to work on his routes and footword to be an everyday centerfielder to me though.

Back to back hits allowed to the 8 and 9 hole with a run in.

And the double play. There was a time when Folty would have completely melted down there.

I'm fine with keeping Riley too, don't get me wrong.

But say the Giants decide to tear it down and rebuild in the offseason, I wouldn't be mad if we traded him for Bumgarner.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Mets are one of the few teams with a worse bullpen than ours. Lets add on.

 

[Mistaken4193]

He went.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Come On Folty...dont start walking people

 

[Mistaken4193]

Dammit Folty.

 

[Mistaken4193]

They wont reverse it.

 

[Mistaken4193]

He is out though.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Oh shit...they didnt fuck us.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Big break there.

And I'm shocked they reversed that.

Acuna's fuck up actually helped us out.

 

[Mistaken4193]

We got lucky that inning.
