Luke Raley for Jose C

[ice99]

Well, since the Rays traded Raley, 2023 could be his high water mark.

Yep smartest franchise to never win a WS for sure.

Yep better than the M's.

Definitely but not impossible we win a trade with them given they were desperate thanks to Pedo boy

Sounds like cool down to earth guy and shares my love of pool volleyball and St. Lucia. lol

You left out Geno and Urias. I don't think that helps either of those categories. They still need a 3b in my opinion.

How close is Ryan Bliss? Rojas can play a little 3rd right?

How close? A 30 mile 45 minute to and hour and a half drive depending on traffic. Will he be good? I would be surprised:

Ewww, gross!!!!

Yep leave him in AA until he is putting up at least a high 800s OPS. I really wish the PCL wasn't such a hitter's league.

There are two ways to look at your fav team. Analytically and on a personal level (are they easy to root for and likeable)

I think they are a little better when looking at them analytically and better in terms of likability.

Out:
JK
Teo

In
Mitch
Raley

I would not be counting on anything from Bliss. But he is close.

So, I saw this little bit about the front offices on both teams being "Split" about the trade.

Kinda neat. I hope we win that one but I am not 100%. I saw that .900+ OPS+ 1st half and I was like that is sustained good performance and too long to be just a little honeymoon phase after a hitter adjustment. But he is a little old to just have 1 near full season at the MLB-level.

I am hoping for the best.

good stuff. Thanks. Raley isn't going to put up a .925 OPS especially at T Mobile but his second half OPS was impacted buy multiple minor injuries.

I think the BR projection is pretty good at .767 OPS. I am hoping for 800+ though.

Marco and Geno seemed to be down to earth, likeable guys.
