If we were able to get, say, Trey Mancini at the deadline... how would we work him into the lineup? Maybe Tucker would get more starts in CF? He could obviously play first as well if Yuli never gets it going. He's a lefty so it would mess up the R/L/R/L in the lineup... but he does hit lefties and righties the same (.273 and .275 for his career respectively).

I'm going on record today 6/2/22 Unless we have an injury we aren't picking up a major bat at the deadline....and i highly doubt we pick up an arm either.

The only exception is if Yuli falls off a cliff compared to current production which is already low...like he is hitting Machete style...even then I believe we attempt to fill from within.

I do think we might see some bench help possibly via trading Chas/Siri, maybe package with a few low end 40 man roster arms because we are fast approaching a need for multiple spots on a 40 man roster which is full.

Outside of 2020, we've been active at the deadline under Jeff and Click.

Last year we got Graveman, Yimi, Montero, Maton.
2019 we got Greinke
2018 we got Pressly & Osuna
2017 we got JV (second deadline)

We were also very close to getting Britton, Harper, and who knows who else.

21: Still have Montero and Maton. and our pen has been solid this year.
19: we got a SP, we currently have 5, 2 more coming back soon and a stud in AAA
18: Pressley is still there, still deals and isnt getting replaced
17: Still here, see explanation of 19

We have 3 CF, we arent getting a 4th
Bregman isnt going anywhere whether he "improves" or not...he is still an above average 3B
Yuli isnt getting replaced this season


So who are we replacing via trade?

I like Mullins but he's under contract through 2026... he would most likely cost one of the prospects we don't want to give up

For a young proven all star CF I'd be willing to give up Leon.

You're essentially getting an all star for 4.5 seasons, or a potential all star for 6 seasons with that.

Looking at KC, Salvador Perez has fallen off a cliff. Batting .187 with an OPS of .580. He's gone from 48 HR last year to 6 this year.

Here are our top 12 prospects

1-4 I'd consider untouchable unless you're talking about a shocking trade for a perennial all star.

I'd be willing to part with any of the other 8 if it means getting a guy like Mullins, Mancini, or another all star type of player

James Click on possibly putting Hunter Brown in the major league bullpen: “I don’t think there’s a preponderance of evidence that that would have a massively deleterious effect on his prospect status and ability to help us as a starter in the future" - https://t.co/uCMr9f9X3g

"There's no impending necessity for a guy like Hunter," Space Cowboys manager Mickey Storey said this week. "Maybe there is because I feel he could be as dominant as a number of major league pitchers. His time will come, surely, but he's in a place right now where he seems like he's playing in a league that's below his ability."

Few could blame Storey for such a proclamation. Brown brought a 2.01 ERA into Wednesday's start against the Albuquerque Isotopes. The Astros named him their minor league pitcher of the month after Brown posted a 1.21 ERA in five May appearances. He struck out 30 batters and compiled a 0.94 WHIP across the 22 1/3 frames he threw.

I certainly wouldn't trade Lee or Leon, but outside of the HRs each are hitting, they are struggling with avg - both around .215 with tons of strikeouts. I think both will need a year or 2 at AAA before they are ready.

Leon actually walks, can steal bases, and hits for a little more power. I wouldn't say anyone with a .826 OPS is struggling.

Both will be given every opportunity at the big league level next year. We have to replace Brantley, Mandy, and Castro.

sorry to disappoint but I would put money on them both being up in September
