I was surprised to see that Carlos has not played a single inning at third (or any position other than shortstop) in his professional career.

I don't think it's gonna be a problem, but I assumed he had played there at least a game or two for the Twins or in the minors.

Played there in the WBC

He played 3rd in the World Baseball Classic.

I think Sanchez ends up batting higher. His OPS is .814 this season v righty pitching

Pena has to be at the top. It shouldn't be up for discussion.

Pena
Meyers
Jose
Yordan
Walker
Carlos
Diaz/caratini
Cam/Sanchez (these splits for each scream a L/R deal)
Whoever plays 2B not named Jose

Only thing missing from that montage was the 2017 Memorial Day Massacre" in Minnesota when he led the comeback after the Twins made him angry.

If y'all are bored, this Reds/Braves game is insane. Braves put up 8 spot in the top of the 8th, Reds just put up 8 in the bottom half.

We were at our best when he did. It allowed us to be our most aggressive.

You could put him at the bottom/double leadoff and do the same thing.

Once Whitcomb and Hummel and Short are gone we can talk about Matthews.

Yeah, been watching. Goofiest thing I've ever seen. Reds had allowed 11 straight after leading 3-0.

Yeah I think Walker or Correa end up batting lower

No breaks with this lineup, then you have a bench with Caratini, Dubon, Urias, and Sanchez/Cam (if Joe goes with platoon in playoffs)

Major league players everywhere

So looks like Crane will have to pay $3,000,000 in luxury tax penalty this year?


Win World Series. Make that money back in merch sales within a week
Money isn't an issue but it means we get worse draft compensation for Framber (4th rounder instead of 2nd) but bigger impact is if we sign a guy with a qualifying offer like Walker we get drilled with loss of 2nd and 5th highest pick plus lose $1M of roughly $6.4M in international free agency money. We want to avoid that at all cost.


True… but a 3rd title will soften that blow quite a bit

Given Maldys experience playing hurt, he might fit in the medical staff
