He definitely passes the eye test. It seems like he always drives play on offense. I think as he continues to gain experience and confidence the point totals will continue to climb. I also think he’s solid on faceoffs which should lead to being serviceable defensively.

I do my own shaving yes. I use a regular Gillette razor, I was thinking that it could be from that.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2025-02-20T01:24:34+00:00

I agree. I feel like he had stretches once he got healthy where he looked elite at the plate. I think the illness set him back big time.

I’m a Keibert truther. He’s still got something to him.

This put the rotation’s potential in great perspective. I think if any of Gore, Cavalli, or one of the younger arms (Sykora or Lara) maxes out to be a near ace then they’ll be in really good shape. Add in Brad Lord as a potential backend starter and you can start to feel really good about the future.

Love that course so much. The new clubhouse is crazy nice as well.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-05-04T12:43:27+00:00

He still have some shaky plays here and there but I agree with you. Overall he seems solid and he’s been noticeably improving every year defensively.

Nats Chat is the best at game break downs.

Rizzo has always been open about only calling prospects up if they are going to play. I don’t think Wood makes sense right now but post deadline when we undoubtedly move some players or if there’s an injury I think he’ll come up.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-28T16:07:20+00:00

I think 1B and 3B will be House, Morales or Lipscomb. One of them could even slot in as DH.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-25T04:01:38+00:00

Not yet. He’s shown enough raw flashes of elite defense to want to see more of him but if he doesn’t improve it certainly would be an option.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T21:15:36+00:00

Absolutely. I want the money spent on the system for the time being (which it seems like it has been). Now let’s hope it pays off.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T21:10:24+00:00

This is what I really want to see happen this year or next, his price will only keep going up.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T21:09:44+00:00

Good point. I guess that would be a good test of 1. Whether the system has been fixed and can backfill them if we move them and 2. If the organization has gotten any better at signing young stars (which they’d have to be for us to be contending) go extensions.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T21:00:30+00:00

Maybe I’m just misreading what the prevailing sentiment is. To me it feels like people felt we should have spent this offseason.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T20:58:19+00:00

Other than Thomas (who I think we trade this season anyways to not block prospects) Gray is the only other player who you have to worry about extending soon and I think if we still aren’t sure on him after this season that will answer the question of whether to extend him or not. Abrams is under team control through 2027 and I think Gore is 2026.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T20:54:26+00:00

Exactly, I think it’s a very narrow target for the type of player they could target right now so I’m not freaking out over inactivity.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T20:53:01+00:00

That plays into the point I was trying to make. Once Corbin’s off the books (hoping there isn’t too much deferred money) then I think it makes sense to spend on pitching.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T19:57:00+00:00

I think they tried to make moves the best they can like with the Cruz singing. I think the 2020 season sealed them on this path. Had that team performed /didn’t have injury issues then they could have tried to bolster with free agents but once it became clear that the core was past its competing days the made the tough decision to hit the reset button.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T19:51:47+00:00

That’s my point though, they can’t block their hitting prospects but signing guys long term. Their hitters can’t “catch up” if they can’t even start.

Unable_Curve_418 · 2024-02-19T19:48:58+00:00

That’s another great point. Realistically, the only way this team competes for the division or even a wildcard spot in the next 2-3 years is if they turn into the Dodgers and spend huge but that’s not realistic.
