    I agree—though that’s also an argument for extending the QO if he finishes the season as well as he’s started it.

    If I had a say in it, Fried stays in the rotation and McCarthy goes to the pen.

    I agree that we should wait until the end of the year to make any sort of judgement on Nick, but outside of last year he hasn't really shown himself to be a much better first half hitter. He actually had a .762 OPS on average in the second half versus .728 in the first from 2015-2017.

    If he can keep this up the entire year I wouldn't mind signing him to a one year deal just due to the lack of FA OF options.

    Given what happened this past offseason teams seem to be getting smart and not offering long deals to older players, wouldn't surprise if he would be willing to do a 1 year deal with an option given the current climate. Though obviously someone could get enamored with his career year and give him a 3 year deal.

    You mean the 39 year old slugging about .440 with 4 homers? He's not a power hitter anymore dude. Will never understand why people want him when Camargo's stats are comparable and he has some upside. Beltre has zero upside.

    Maybe I was looking at just the first two months, but my main point is he isn't an .870-.880 OPS player like we are seeing so far this year. Great start, but I am expecting him to be around a .728 or so OPS player again in the second half given his age. As far as re-signing him to a one year deal, sure if he helps us make the playoffs and will take a fair deal.

    Beltre is still a great veteran hitter and I didn't say replace Camargo. Beltre at 39 is still hitting over .300 with an OPS over .800 too. I'd still get him plenty AB's at short and third resting Beltre.

    I understand this all generally works itself out... I really do.

    But am starting to see quite a logjam here with near-mlb ready pitchers:

    You've got the locks:

    Newcomb
    Folty
    Soroka

    Then you've got the high upside arms who appear to be near ready if not ready:

    Gohara
    Fried
    Allard
    Wright

    You have someone like Touki who could be knocking on the door by 2020.

    Plus you have Teheran under contract. And I contend Wisler would be a very servicable #5.

    That's 9 guys there. I'd love to be able to dump Julio, and you can always count on an injury or two and a flameout... but it is a bit of embarrassment of riches.

    Of course, this could all be solved with a couple trades, but I'm having a hard time seeing the natural path to regular big league innings for the deserving kids

    I said that. He is just luring the pitchers into a false sense of security.

    If we add a third baseman it will probably take away from Swanson's AB's more than Camargo's since Camargo is hitting better and has shown he can handle short without costing you runs. Swanson would still play pretty regularly either way with his improved defense.

    Several quality pitchers wlll be used in trades or pushed to the bullpen.

    No thanks. We have our solid veteran hitter. I want a difference maker or nothing at all... it's just dealing someone to deal them.
