I don't think we'd need him to. A big part of his value proposition is his 1B defense. If he's in the lineup, he should play 1B and Yordan/Brantley/Abreu should be LF/DH/rest in some combination.E said:
Is he able to spot start in LF?

$3mm seems reasonable for adding him as an extra bat off the bench and fill in for Abreu and whoever needs a day off from DHing.
He can play 2nd or 3rd as well. Seems reasonable to me.

Can he tho?
Like the idea of having Yuli on the bench, backup for 1B or DH, with having him available for postseason.
Also like the idea of having Hensley and Diaz getting major league ABs and spending time with the big league club.
Oh well, just a fan, Crane is paying people to figure this out.

On @MLBNetwork theyre saying that dipoto and the padres are going to make a deal that sends tatis to the mariners. What is the likelihood that acrually happens?

No Yuli. With any other manager yes but Dusty will get him 300 ABs even if his OPS is below .600Ag_07 said:

That contract includes a no-trade clause... right? Can't imagine Tatis would enjoy toiling away in obscurity.

The padres aren't exactly a huge mkt team. Even with all the spending.
Dipoto likes to make deals just to make deals.
He's done it time and time again and they're still chasing us.

In Dusty's defense, his rotation of players has worked out. You also have to give him credit for having come a long way in terms of load management since ruining the arms of Prior and Wood.MaxPower said:No Yuli.

Let he who has never complained about a Dusty lineup cast the first stone… but it's hard to complain when the team wins 100 games, gets to the postseason fresh and he plays the best guys when we get there.
bingo.
Dubon and his .548 OPS got 197 at-bats with the Astros last year

Dusty's rotation/rest? The one we've been doing for a decade?
SOURCE: Starting pitcher Luis Severino will not be pitching for the Dominican Republic in the 2023 WBC because New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman did not allow him.@z101digital @ZDeportes pic.twitter.com/NNliWXb8ud

Cashman is such a *****
I don't blame cashman at all. Severino hasn't pitched a full season with the Yankees since 2018… He's combined for 26 games since the start of the 2019 season
Were we resting all starters in 2016 when Springer played all 162 and Altuve played 161?Farmer1906 said:Harry Dunne said:In Dusty's defense, his rotation of players has worked out.

it would be a masterstroke for San Diego...if they could find a team to take Tatis and the 12 years left on his contract off their hands.

This may be uncomfortable news for you but Dusty is in fact not Jesus Christ. I imagine his poop smells and he has probably cussed a time or two.
If your argument is load management then get a backup 1B that can hit when you know he's going to get 300 ABs. Seems like basic GM work. In addition, you are better off developing a young hitter like Diaz than throwing Yuli out there when there's no future benefit to be gained.

I agree. He's going to play who he's got, so get him the best players possible. If we can do better than Yuli, great!
But for chrissakes stop b1t<h1ng like menstrual women about his methods when he delivers a title.

I'm a beer nerd, and even though they were RUDE to Mrs. Marvin and me during the playoffs, I'd probably choose the northwest and all their breweries. But a young guy like Tatis? Come on.

I think we have enough firepower in the lineup to give the younger guys a chance. It's not like the backup 1B will be getting 300 AB. Let it be a trade deadline thing if necessary.
That said, I'd be fine if they decided Yuli was worth another year on the cheap. Thought to better playoff La Pina.

Decade was an exaggeration. The 2016 team was fighting for its life and failing. That was when we didn't have a full time DH and that is where guys "rested". Springer & Altuve had double digits start there.
2017
Altuve 147 starts
Bregman 148
Springer 137
Gurriel 137
Reddick 121
Marwin 120

Don't say a decade then if you mean 5 years. Most of all you, the hard line stats guy.
By "his" rotation of players, I meant the way Dusty rests players heavily. I never claimed he originated load management. That's dumb. No one thinks that.
We rest players and we have a 6 man rotation and Dusty is the manager. You want me to call it AJs scheme? Luhnows? Does it even matter at this point? Are you being a dick just for sport or do you have a point to make?

Yes, he rests guys like AJ did. Yay Dusty.
6 years btw.

Is 6 years a decade?
So dick for sport. Yay right back atcha.

I lived in Seattle for 12 years and just moved back to Texas this past summer. It is a beautiful place and I enjoyed it. But the winter which basically set in when we turned the clocks back and continued until we would "spring forward" was the most depressing stretch of living I've ever experienced. Dark, cold, rainy. Day after day. On that basis alone I would take San Diego every time.Marvin said:Rustys-Beef-o-Reeno said:Marvin said:bearkatag15 said:On @MLBNetwork theyre saying that dipoto and the padres are going to make a deal that sends tatis to the mariners.
