Good morning gentlemen. On to spring training!!!!
Just say no to Nico.
Between Huntington Park in Columbus being a joke and AAA teams seeing the same pitching staff 6 straight days at a time, I understand the concern on Brito. He's the flavor of the winter because no one's seen him struggle in MLB. I doubt the Guardians are going to trade prospects and pay $11 million for Hoerner though.
Locked on Guardians brought to you by Alex Cobb
Let's get this started.. yeah
Offer Rocchii for Hoerner
You spelled Hoerner’s name wrong!
Omg, I agree with Jeff. We don’t need Hoerner. I’m not trading for another Defense and speed guy they don’t need that profile
You guys, we should start a drinking game for every time Jeff talks about DeLauter’s swing and Brito’s defense 🤣
With the addition of Sewald wouldn't you expect to see more low leverage inning for Gaddis? And if that's the case, wouldn't that make it easier to believe that what he did last year could be repeatable?
We need a big bat behind JRam pronto. Without one, is ownership tanking this season to justify trading JRam next off-season even though JRam accepted the deep discount?
I don’t think Nico moves the needle enough for us. Just roll with what we got.
Do you think we end up bringing back Pedro Avila?? Would love to see him back on the roster.
If Nico Hoerner had only this year left, than I'd say we kick the tires, but not with two years. They don't want to block the young guys especially Bazana.
Great discussion. You both had good points.
I vote Jeff for the Hoerner debate. If cost is reasonable do it. No Gaddis though. I think Jeff probably reflects Guards FO approach. Do you think with still veteran SP out there any chance they take a flyer on K Gibson, AHeaney.L Lynn or J Quintana? Cannot have too much pitching
I'm on team Jeff here. Horner is fine, but I don't think he's worth making a "trade that will hurt" for
I'd be fine with Hoerner. Brito could always split time in RF.
My issue is that trades, FA Acquisitions, among other moves are so fun for me that I want them to get Nico Hoerner. Just because its movement.
This is the main reason I am not in a front office… that and I did not attend an ivy league school.
great discussion today. I guess I tend to think the demands for Nico are ultimately going to prove to be too much. IDK
Nice show guys!
I could see Hoerner as a trade deadline target if the young guys are really struggling but otherwise I’m more inclined to agree with Jeff in terms of what I’d be willing to spend to get him if I was the Guards
