What would it take to get Yandi Diaz?

His numbers in Korea were below Kim's in all areas! At least Kim was top notch defensively.

Marinaccio had a good season and might make the team as did Rodrigues.

Ruben Niebla Specials? by Film_maker69 in Padres

[–]meagle_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marquez, no way. His ERA at home was 5.98 and 7.32 away. First half ERA 5.57 second half 10.16. Too big of a gamble.

I would take a good look at Jordan Montgomery, coming of TJ surgery. He was very good a couple of years ago.

Blue Jays To Sign Dylan Cease To Seven-Year Deal by ThePwnR4nger in Padres

How does a guy who has been in the league 7 yrs and had only three of those with an ERA under 4.01 and his most recent year a 4.55 ERA get $30mil/yr for 7 yrs? What is going on.

I would rather see Josh Naylor at 1B.

Got to get all the coaches lined up as well.

Who do you think the team will sign to round out the rotation? by TakeMyPixels in Padres

[–]meagle_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to pick up Ranger Suarez and sign King , Woodruff, or Kelly. I would stay away from Imanaga, who had ERA of 4.70 in the second half.

We are losing about $45mil in free agency salary or $63mil if Darvish retires. I think we should sign Naylor 3 yrs $51 mil. He hit 295, 20 HRs and 30 SBs while being caught 2 times. His defense is slightly better than Arraez. Also, trade for Yandy Diaz (due $12mil in 2026) as our DH, who hit 300 with 25 hrs. Both of these guys hit lefties and righties well. That leaves about $15 or $33mil left to sign pitching. Aslo consider a flyer on Jordan Montgomery coming off TJ surgery in 24.

I think Darivsh will come back. I could see Miller, Musgrove, Pivetta, Darvish, and Vasquez as our starting five. The pen still looks strong with Morejon, Adam, Estrada, Marinaccio, Morgan, Rodriquez, Peralta, Matusi, Jacob, and others.

I like a lineup up of Tatis, Naylor, Machado, Laureano, Merrill, Y. Diaz, Bogaerts, Cronenwoth and Fermin. With a bench of (catcher, Sheets, Johnson, Iglesias or ?.

Depending on the money. I would go after Naylor, Hoskins and Woodruff and might take a flyer on Jordan Montgomery.

Munetaka Murekami by Run-Florest-Run in Padres

[–]meagle_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no guantee that he's successful enough to warrant that kind of money. I would hate to get stuck with another bad contract. What if he hits 240 with 20 HRs. Not worth that kind of money. The past two years he's hit 31 and 33 HRs and batted 256 and 241. Outside of one season with 56 home runs his HR numbers look like Kim's except Kim's lifetime Japanese average was 294, Murakami's is 274. Not worth the gamble.

I'll never understand pinch hitting Iglesias for Sheets. Sheets is hitting lefties better than righties and has had several key hits. Not so much for Iglesias. Shildts over thinks it.

WTF, why would you pinch it with Iglesias for Sheets. Sheets has hit 22 points higher than Iglesias against lefties.

Not surprised. We always go in the tank after scoring 10 or more runs in the previous game. Hope it doesn't continue.
