I’ll take a shot at it, although it’s not my money and Alex Ant. has done a nice job since he’s been here. His combo. w/Snit. is reminiscent of Scheurholz/Cox. In AA, I trust.
-Jorge Soler is a 2022 FA. His 8m. salary prorated for Atl. was a bargain and we only gave up a lower A ball prospect in RHP Kasey Kalich. I say resign, platoon in RF.
-Joctober Pederson has a mutual option w/ the club for 2022 @ 2.5 m. He made 4.5m. prorated this season. Pearls cost the Braves nothing. Trade cost us Bryce Ball, a rising power prospect. Didn’t he play at Dallas Baptist? Big bopper. This is a must sign like Freddie Free.(we have zero 1B prospects ready). Platoon vs. RHP in RF.
-Adam Duvall made 2m. prorated this year. He’s arbitration eligible in 2022 with a 3m. option. The Braves were not going to use Alex Jackson, C. Great trade for the NL RBI leader. Kiss him, sign him, play him in CF for April and move to LF.
-Eddie Rosario played for the prorated amount of 8m for the Braves. He’s a ‘22 FA. Giving up the Panda, we let Heredia step up with the pink cheer toys(it’s going to allow @kg03 to get a pink convertible speedster)and Eddie showed us what a perfect LH stroke can do in getting hits in all 8 playoff games to date, and compliment Riley and his RH swing(who I will turn over to
@kg01 for his expertise). I don’t think Atlanta signs him, but I would. He would give all the OFers a day off, and Freddie. The guy has played hurt this season, so we have not seen all of his versatility. He owns LH pitching, which is rare at this level for a LH stick.
I don’t trust Waters with his strikeouts and attitude. Pache, I would try to get something for him. Showcase him until Acuna gets healthy(he is at 70% and projects a May return). Adam, Eddie, Joc, can all play CF, as does Christian.
You can never have enough OFers. Don’t ask me about Ozuna? I have little knowledge of what will happen, other than to say, try to void that contract if it’s legally possible.
