    Julien hit .218/.373/..276 (.649 OPS) vs LHP's in the hitter's paradise known as the Texas League while striking out 27.3% of the time.. Plus he can't play defense. IMO, he is way overrated on this list and by those who are counting on him in 2024

    Wallner is a lousy OF

    With the end of shifting 2B is a premium position. You made me look. Against LHPs in the Texas League hitting environment, Julien hit .210/.373/.276 (.649) in 134 plate appearances, striking out 36 times (26.9%). Arraez became a good fielder at 1B. Julien hasn't been tried there yet, but he is terrible at 2B. Julien figures to be healthier.

    You left out DH (Nelson Cruz) and have a lot riding on Kirilloff. You overlook Luis Arraez's contribution to 2019.

    I agree Gallo gets a lot of value from his OF defense. Falvey made a big deal of Gallo's positional flexibility, mentioning CF, 1B, and even 3B. Sounds like Boras speaking. Gallo's perceived flexibility is worth a lot given the uncertainties regarding Kirilloff and Lewis. Admittedly their uncertainties are different as to nature and extent, but it seems many posters disregard those uncertainties. Falvine don't disregard them. Since signing Gallo, they looked into Michael Taylor and Ramon Laureano. Taylor makes me think they are not sold on Nick Gordon (or rather that they might sell high on Gordon, like they did with Arraez). Laureano's acquisition seems like it would logically precede trading Kepler. Laureano could backup CF for 3 years, making Gordon very expendable.

    Gallo plays much better corner outfield defense than Profar. Gallo plays better CF defense than Nick Gordon; Profar does not.
  17. Lonestar
    Cody, you left out Nick Gordon and Eduard Julien. Gallo can replace Gordon in CF. I agree that Wallner might be at his peak. He's Gallo without defense.
  18. Lonestar
    No, it's not. Compare their trade values on recent trades. Most of the mock trades are garbage.

    Why are neither Camargo or Isola on MLB Pipeline's Twins Top 30 prospect list, but Sabato, Strotman, and Helman are?

    This is so much sophistry -- I mean small sample size. He's had 67 AB's with runners in scoring position and 31 with runners in scoring position and 2 out. Last year he had 158 AB's with runners in scoring position and OPSed .842, including 85 AB's with 2 outs and an OPS of .915. PS The Twins are not giving him nearly as many chances as the Astros did.
  22. Lonestar
    OPS is not the formula for Runs Created. And 18 runs is just normal statistical variation (noise).
  23. Lonestar
    Last year Atlanta was a mediocre team in a weak division when they addressed their needs in the outfield, turned things around, and won series after series, including the World Series.

    If Parada cant be a MLB catcher (ringe receiver and ball-blocker with a 45 arm), he we be a lot like Berry or Kyle Schwarber.
