You guys won't like this idea, but Tyrone Taylor would be a good get. I know you have the bar set higher but he makes your OF better.

We should prepare ourselves to hear that "we really tried to get an outfielder, but the asking price was just too high." Meanwhile Taylor Ward got traded for a bunch of non-prospects.

Not convinced we add a bat if it's not Stowers. Who else is left?

Maybe we just address the starting pitching need, which is objectively speaking the bigger need.

Robert would wear out the Crawford Boxes and you can have him for next to nothing

He's been terrible for a while now. Similar to what we have currently IMO, and he's been hurt all year.

Health sure, but he can run and he has big power. Defense isn't what it used to be, but still an upgrade imo.

Hearing Taylor Ward failed physical (in trade to Mariners). ETA: probably clickbait, but....

One is a proven 40+ HR threat , the other could maybe develop into a 30 HR threat imo. It's an apple to an orange imo just considering potential impact for an offense

The "proven 40+ HR threat" has 7 HR this season in 410 AB, so...

He has also never hit 40 HR.

The guy I'm talking about hit 56 last season. Wer'e not talking about the same player.

I was responding to a poster that was asking if Stowers could be a Schwarber type player.

Watching him Saturday, he looked like he was having back issues. That's a ton of $$ on a contract for a guy with a massive injury history who was grabbing his back.
