Is there and outfielder close? Cause Siani....Vlade.....Siani....(drat).

as in this year? No....next year? Maybe, but probably no....they can try Church....but why would you? He just got to AAA. If you bring him up, don't sit him on the bench, he'll likely be better than at least one of the struggling OF...at any given time.

If you want to try and win this year? Then no...and we shouldn't be trying to win with this team....we overachieved in May, and we all loved it...they didn't add anything to this team, so my expectations were a reset/rebuild....let's keep doing that. Let the other kids play for at least another month, make trades accordingly after that for better prospects/future. Don't be afraid to trade a Walker, a Noot, a VS2...if you can land better, or if you feel the return is something you can actually coach up...then trade them.

But overall...there's no immediate help. We took the best of what we had available and went with it for 2025. The Farm is trying to catch up.

In 2027/2028...the OF will likely look much better.

You lost me when you said they shouldn't be trying to win. Just step away from the keyboard. There is a better option than Siani or Vlade. I'm sure of that and you are too. So stop with the "Protect the eggs" [nonsense]. Other teams bring up their young guys. So of them don't even shave yet. LOL

CCard, I'm not trying to protect eggs. I'm just not willing to trade assets that we've tried to put together for the future this season....we're not the best team in the division, we're not in a class with SD and SF whom we're chasing for a wild card.

that's all. So...we use Siani and Vilade. It happens. We made GREAT run in May, better than I thought we would...we stayed healthy, that helped....now we're a little hobbled, and multiple people are cold all of sudden. We don't have the players to throw at the problem...other than cleaning out a pretty thin Minor League system for rentals to help in this season. I'm not willing to do that, it's taken a while to move the minors out of the basement...lot's of work still left to do.

Tell me how a retread like Siani is better for the fans than bringing up a young guy that might have promise and give him acclimation at the big league level? Or Vlade, another castoff. This is purely a business decision. They don't want to start the clock on a young guy so they sign these castoffs and the fans be damned. It's sickening. Just to be cheap.
