Lee is having a strong campaign, too. He has drastically reduced his K rate while improving his walk rate and SB success. Wilmington has sapped his HR totals a bit, as it normally does. Quote:
I don’t think they “have” to trade Merrifield. Return would have to be very strong. But he IS 29 and likely to be in a decline phase by 2021, when the team would be getting some of its promising next wave to the majors. Still, though, if Soler can maintain this and Mondesi develops into a dynamic talent, Merrifield, Mondesi, Soler, and Perez might be something you can build around before 2021.

Do we have a prayer of getting a serviceable pitching staff (starting and bullpen) in the next two years? I worry about when the lone bright spots on the team like Merrifield and Soler won't be around

My fear is that 9/10 times it seems any SP prospect doesn't cut it as a starter and has to be a reliever. Good relief pitchers are nice, but our track record of developing starters is pretty bad.

Sure. Duffy gets healthy, Junis continues to pitch at this level, Skoglund or Foster Griffin is a serviceable #5... and you’re a decent portion of the way there. That’s a rotation light on top end talent, though. Bullpen future is bright, I think. Lovelady, Staumont, Adam, Hill is interesting. |

Lots of its in your statements Duncan. I also don't think Perez and Duffy will be as good by 2021.

Duffy said bury me a Royal, so let's bury him.

Pitchers can be up and down from year to year... look at Herrera this year. Duffy can bounce back. He's completely cratered his value though... which sucks because he's our most valuable trade piece. Even after the game tonight he almost acted like he should go to the bullpen.

I do think if you trade him you have to get a legit, legit return... not one of these things we're probably going to do with Moose where you trade for someone's 15th best prospect. Otherwise you're better off hanging on to him and selling a few jerseys and giving the fans a favorite player to come to the park and see. At this rate he might have his number out there between the 10 and 20 on the HOF someday. Last edited by tk13; 05-19-2018 at 10:10 PM.. |
