No shift next season means potentially greater value for our LF. The man is a character guy with a professional approach. He’s still got .300 ability. What say you all?

Are we talking a one-year deal for $12M, with a team option for a second year for the same. If he can still produce this year, I'm for it. Same thing goes for Yuli. |

It depends on how our young OFers progress this year, and if it looks like Leon is ready to move up. Like they said during the broadcast yesterday, an OF with some combination of Meyers, Chas, Siri, and Tucker is crazy good defensively. But we need to see if the offense continues.
So far Chas and Siri both look really good.

At this point I'm saying Yes, depending on two things; Brantley remaining healthy + productive, and no internal options stepping up. Aside from Leon, there's basically no internal option that gives me hope for 2023 (I do not believe in McCormick long-term). Add in the fact that the outfield free agent market next off-season is a total wasteland (Brantley will be the best one by a significant margin) and I'd try to re-up with him unless Click has a trade in mind.

Him who? Uncle Mike or Showhair? Showhair Hmm. To play 1B? I seem to remember Dusty mentioning a plan to have Yordan learn 1B. Did any of that happen in ST? Yuli brings a lot of versatility to the defensive equation. Probably not a great choice as a middle infielder lately, but he has some innings at 2B and SS on his resume as well as both corners. I don't think that will ever be an option with Yordan. |

It would be great if Yordan could play 1B, but after watching him play, he is at most a spot starter in LF. He is all bat, he is a liability in the field. |

If Yuli has a good year with the bat again this year, I would be all for bringing him back next season with a club option for 2024. Once his playing days are over, I hope Crane keeps him with the team in some capacity. Yuli commands a lot of respect, especially among the Cuban players. As for re-signing Brantley... I don’t know. If Chas has a good year this year and Brantley regresses, I think I would go with Chas in LF next season. |

Definitely a good weapon to have in the FO. |

One of the benefits of not buying a CF from the FA market ... there will be plenty of playing time this season for Chas, Siri, and eventually Meyers. It's a bit optimistic to think all three will have great results ... but it could happen. What a wonderful problem that would create, eh? |

He could play his way to Houston by mid-season. If that happens and Meyers returns at 100%, I could see one of Chas, Meyers, Siri or Leon traded by the trade deadline. |
