alcántara is my fav player to watch in iowa, super exciting the last few games
All of those stat lines are just ridiculous. The future is bright and I really hope we can make room for all of those guys because I’d be scared to trade away a star lol
These guys had such incredible years. They’re ready for next year but we don’t really have playing time to spare. Here’s what id do.
Trade either Cassie or Alcantara for Vladdy. The other is our backup RF.
I think Shaw will start to get reps next year at 3B or if there’s an injury. At the least he can replace Wisdoms ABs.
Let Ballesteros cook for another season at AAA to try and stick at catching. Maybe call him up mid season for a cup of coffee.
I’m most excited about Shaw. Totally a jersey I’m going to end up getting.
I hope that all translates to MLB one day.
Cantrelle has been very fun to watch.
Cool. Where are any of them playing next year? Jed completely blocked them all with mediocre major leaguers
Trade Bellinger and Nico and happ too.
Alcantara is an incredibly talented wild card, but the four other prospects are good bets. You either have high floor guys in Shaw and Triantos, or guys who performed in their age 20 and 21 seasons in AAA, which usually translates to the next level due to their ages.
If those players were drafted in the top 10 they would be ranked way higher on prospect lists.
I just hope that Jed doesn’t crumble to the pressure of our obnoxious fanbase and gives them a chance.
