That’s what a $75m roster looks like. 13 position players is all they will have and you have 14 without Aranado who I beleive will be here. So Segesse and Crooks to AAA. Still missing the 35/100 MOTO superstar to anchor the lineup and make it fall into place. .500 if they add a TOR SP from FA and that bat. Otherwise 70 wins

Do you think Winn fears JJ taking his SS position?

He should

No different than any player.

But Winn is a 3+ fWAR player the last 2 years. Those don’t grow on trees. And he’s only 23 years old.

JJ is 23 years old. Played college, top draft pick. Lighting up AAA and has power

[vegascardsfan5890]

They wont get 100 home runs combined with that group

Wetherholt is not going to take Winn's position.

You can take that to the bank.

Is this your hope for the AA team. I thought wonder boy was taking over. He doesn’t know baseball either. And the owner doesn’t care. Spot on though. The new Pirates.

I know who JJ is. He’ll be our starting 2B. And I’m looking forward to the WW combination of Winn and Wetherholt up the middle.

1000% agree.

Wetherholt-Winn will be quite the DP combo. Hope we can get the rest of the team up to the same level.

[45s]

I will take the under…

Waste at 2b. Winn should be moved, along with Hurdy Gurdy

I would hope folks realize you don't want what could very well be your top offensive threat playing perhaps the most demanding position on the field.

Yes he'll wind up at 2B.

Why the heck is he a waste at 2B? If anything 2B is less of an offensive position than SS and Wetherholt isn’t a good defensive SS (he’s average), while I’m sure he’d be better at 2B. So you’d have a guy that would be one of the best 2B in the game and a SS that would be one of the best defensive SS in baseball.
