Your friend is kinda crazy. If everything clicked for Mondesi, he might go .280/.330/.550 with 25 HR and 50 SB. If you pair that with his strong defense, you’d have an incredibly valuable player... but still someone on par with Lindor in overall skill. |

If we can get any pitching at all, this team will surprise many in the baseball world and come close to a .500 season.
With quality pitching, 5 - 10 games under .500 Without quality pitching, 20 games under .500 |

Based on what premise? Because you surely can't believe we hit well enough to be competitive.

We were 26th in runs scored last year. I simply don't see where the improvement is supposed to come from for basically the same group to be "impressive".

To be fair, Ryan O'Hearn hit less than 200 last year, he sucks too.

Merrifield Mondesi Dozier Soler Perez Gordon isn't bad at all. If Mondesi stays healthy, that could be a pretty dynamic grouping. Personally, I'd flop Merrifield and Mondesi and let Whit see more fastballs. They need more from 1B, CF, and 2B (Nicky Lopez) offensively to be a legitimately good lineup, but 2/3 of the setup isn't bad. They should be talking to the Dodgers about Joc Pederson. He would be a better option in CF than Merrifield, is still only 27, and swings left. If the Dodgers were ready to send him out for Luis Rengifio, the price tag on him isn't that high. If they were willing to send $10 million with it, I'd bet they could get Pederson and may even a lower-level lotto ticket prospect from the Dodgers for Ian Kennedy. ^ This is the type of creative thing Mecca is asking for. I'd be all over it. Pederson is a free agent after this season, but so is Kennedy. I'd consider Pederson a more tradeable commodity than Kennedy, generally. If that were to happen: Mondesi - SS Merrifield - RF Dozier - 3B Pederson - CF Soler - DH (know this is weird, but it stacks 3 good OBP guys right in front of him, all of whom can run) Perez - C Gordon - LF O'Hearn/McBroom - 1B Lopez - 2B That's actually a pretty good lineup. You'd sit Pederson against lefties, and Perez probably gets some time at 1B instead of McBroom, especially against lefties. |

The Pederson thing makes to much sense so I wouldn't expect it. I think Moore is a bit to old school and to attached to players he picked to really shake it up.

You are correct. That's why McBroom could be at 1st. I think players will have a shorter leash this year. With the controversy following Matheny, they'll want the team to improve over last year. Matheny cannot stand the scrutiny that Ned has gotten for the last two 100 loss seasons.
