So some of you actually think this team could be decent next year?

Which is what, maybe 70-75 wins over a full season? That's better than this year, but I'm not sure it's sustainable until another wave arrives. I think Duncan made the comparison to the Twins a couple of years ago when they played out of their minds for a season but returned to mediocrity soon after. I guess if it keeps the fans interested and brings in more money for the team it's a good thing.

He cost us some late-inning runs because of an error, but I was glad to read in The Athletic this morning that the error bothered him and that he took responsibility for it. Ned and Dayton are good about letting the players play and make mistakes that they can learn from. I think we could win about 80 games next year, if we get a little bit lucky with our pitching staff. O'Hearn looks to me like he could put up a good OPS in the majors, but we still need to see what happens after a few more months, when we see how he responds to how the league responds to him.

My 2019 lineup looks like this to start:
2B/UTIL - Merrifield SS - Mondesi RF - Soler 1B - O’Hearn C - Perez LF - Gordon DH - Bonifacio (or Soler) 3B - Dozier CF - Phillips Those are the young guys I want to see primarily to start the year. Need to see a lot of Phillips and O’Hearn. Also want to see Schwindel get some DH ABs if Bonifacio is just OKish again.

Seems like they could be respectable if they add a solid starting pitcher and a reliever or two.
What's the plan for Goodwin? No one seems to talk about him. |

I just realized that not only is Manaea missing the rest of 2018, but that there's a good chance he may miss 2019 as well.
I've hassled Moore about trading Manaea over Almonte, but KC's scouting on Manaea's health has been pretty dead on. |

Ned five seconds later: we talked about it, if Salvy was the lead runner we would've PR Phillips WTF? |

As good as they were on scouting Manaeas health they were just as bad as scouting/developing Almonte.
