I have seen some “fans” on Twitter comparing Walker to Abreu….not even
Close to being the same.

I will spare everyone a bunch of stats that show Walker had found himself the last 1/3 of the season.

I also am cautiously optimistic regarding the new batting coaches……even if these new guys could not fix a lick of mechanics…. If they could help players get mentally right and have a plan for EVERY AB that would payoff ten fold.

Maybe he turned the corner, but I’m not keeping him over Paredes, and one of them has to go.

If the Astros could find someone willing to offload some $ then I’d rather have Paredes too. One of these sh_t head baseball hacks thought the Mets might fall for it. WTF?!

They just let everyone go to retool. Now they’re gonna take a high strikeout, high contract guy that’s getting older by the day?! The Mets fans would torch that place after having Alonso. Lol

Btw - I actually worry the Orioles are tweaking the headlights for another run

I saw a blurb from a scout that said he had top 10 talent and was shocked he slid down the board.

Apparently he was dealing with an “injury” and struggled a bit during the last showcase events.

Xavier has a HIGH ceiling. :ok_hand:

Excited to see him play this season.

Tuck, Bad Framber. Bregs.
Not in article but Tuck probably to Toronto.
Surprised Suarez (3d base) is still there.

Tucker = fighting the “puss#” delta
Bregman = mystifying other than what he wants

Framber = fighting the psychopath delta

I hope Tuck does go to Toronto……he’ll love the taxes……but since he misses so many games his pay will be more in line with his amount of time on the field.

Think like Tuck.
Anytime baseball is a drag…he can be in Tampa & use the Blue Jays facility.

I live right by here.
No regrets about my taxes building this.

A block from there on the Gulf.
He can rehab there. :slight_smile:

I am guessing all 3 want stupid money and after what Soto got last year a lot of teams are pumping their brakes on throwing stupid money at players that aren’t elite.

Those guys are elite though.

Don’t see Bregs 2 Anaheim but
he just some leverage.

Angels deferred him to go away.
21-24 a season max of 58 games.
Missed 2025.

When Correa left I wanted Rendon. That’s a prayer I’m happy went unanswered.

I thought Correa got overpaid but he is a bargain compared to that Rendon contract.

Just saw that.

Have you seen him play? What is he like?

Would he slot in as our #2?

I saw a few “experts” have LMJ in the rotation……something has gone terribly wrong if that happens.

Blubaugh
Alexander
Pearson
He’ll, even France before LMJ.

We can not have any more of his one inning implosions that wipe the BP out this year.

We saw that every game counts….fool me once.

I agree with Jeremy Branham that they will be “respectfull” in spring training and give him a shot but he likely is a DFA or make up an “injury “ for him to save face.
