yeah my line-up is stupid just to save Contreras knees a few years on the back end. I believe he is too good of a hitter to be a catcher, and maybe his arm could be used at third base.
But no need to move people around, just get a center fielder like Fowler.
1. CF free agent
2. Bryant 3B
3. Rizzo
4. Baez SS
5. Contreras C
6. Schwarber LF
7. Habb 2b
8. Darvish
9. Heyward RF
This team is good enough to make the playoffs again. Those hitters are going to have a good year together if you keep this ship going. Ross might be the best guy just to extend what they have for a year or two and get good vibes back without. rebuilding.
The closer mistakes and Fowler are the TWO precise reasons this team has failed the last 2 years. You put Fowler and a healthy closer out there...and they are still feared.
Its hard to say that, Fowler has been terrible. Cant say it was just the change of scenery. I never really liked him. Colorados center field was just too big for him and showed how bad he is out there. For the most part, the cardinals moved him to right to cut down the space he needs to cover. Wrigley is so small he was able to run to left field and maim Schwarber.
If you want to talk about getting Charlie Blackmon, I will listen. Almora might just blossom under a different manager that believes in him and Theo's first number one pick could answer his value.
just felt bad for Almora working so hard to hit righties to the point he could not hit lefties, but then Joe uses him against lefties since his numbers still show good for what he did the past two seasons.
I am still fine with Javy or Nico leading off, I just have a feeling Theo will get someone and that spot wont be available to them.
So yeah, trade Heyward to Colorado for Blackmon and we might be onto something.
