Lot of posts in here I’d like to address but short on time today

The thing that’s being overlooked is that Pache has real offensive skills. Asking him to figure it out at the ML level has a real chance of cramping his future offensive output. You can win now with him hitting .240 or whatever he’s gonna hit. But do you want to turn him into a lifetime .260 hitter because you handcuffed yourself to the only other option being Ender Inciarte? Just because he’s the best option doesn’t mean he’s a good option, most importantly for his own development.

You know what would have been nice to make sure we don’t rush Pache? Having a guy like Adam Duvall for $5M who is a good defender and .852 OPS the last two years!

This is what made nontendering Duvall so strange to me. It pretty much closed the door on RAJ going back to CF. Doubt they want to play extended innings with Riley and Ozuna in the corner outfield spots.

It was horrible and stupid. Like Duvall is streaky as hell but the fact we didn’t bring him back for $5M is a joke

I’m trying to get my mind right for Opening Day and Ole Scott is calling our #1 prospect, consensus top 20 prospect in all of baseball, a bust based on 25 PA...SAD!

who tf cares

A. Wasn’t because of Pache
B. We didn’t have enough to win 1 out of 3 when we needed it most

What was his stat line again?

I mean he played solid considering the circumstances. And if Austin doesn’t make a boneheaded base running decision we win that series

Why tf are we writing off a 22 year old that has made tangible improvement in his offensive skill set literally every season since his first??

Z you’re playing right into my overall point:

You aren’t beating the dudgers with Austin Riley and Pache. That’s all that matters.

I'm not sure what the obsession is with having offensive production at those particular positions. What if we had mashers at 3B and CF, but black holes at SS and 2B? Would that be OK, or would that be just as bad?
