Grabbing Dietrich and a good SP would complete this team pretty well, I think.Originally Posted by CyYoung31
i'm not sure I'd want to give up what it takes to get Archer, but I think it would make us the favorite for the division if we did
He's having a down year this season, but a good bet on a rebound the rest of the way. He's pretty much pre 2018 RH Matt Adams with good defense. I think our bench needed a boost and Duvall is likely to provide that.
thank you weso1!
I hope Duvall is okay with being a reserve.
Duvall, I guess is slightly above average vs LHP and slightly below average vs RHP and is a good left fielder. So that makes him more versatile that Preston Tucker who is worthless vs LHP and bad in the field.
That upgrade cost Wisler and Sims. I don’t think anything of Sims and am happy he’s gone, but Wisler I included as hypothetical pitching depth earlier today. Not a valuable player but not nothing.
If a similar package had helped land something more vital I’d have been a little happier. Another reliever, a 3b platoon, etc.
I don’t really see the point of sitting ender for Duvall vs lhp and I don’t see that happening.
I’m not terribly worried about getting a SP right now. I’d rather use our assets to acquire another high leverage reliever. That plus Dietrich/Solarte, and this team is suddenly baller, and most likely with our farm still mostly intact.
lol
Didn't Ensheff say for awhile now that Ender needed to be platooned? Is he AA?
Enscheff just posts the information I feed him.
How do you not see the point of playing a guy who has a 160 point OPS advantage vs lhp over Ender?

I guess the Beltre rumors are dead!
So far we've added quality pieces in Duvall, Venters and Brach and given up 500K in useless international money, Wisler and replacement players. AA has done a nice job at the deadline improving the team without paying a significant price.
thank you weso1!

Probably so. I never have had the idea that he wants to leave Texas anyway.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
What is so funny about that? It isn't like Duvall has a choice but he could be a turd about the situation.
You can’t be serious.
Not worried about what Duvall thinks about platoon... wonder what inciarte thinks
From what I’ve read, Ender understands.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Because I’m trading gold glove defense in center for what figures to be below average cf defense from Acuna.
And I think ender is more like a 20% below average hitter vs left than the 50% he’s shown.
Ender said he's OK with it, just wants to make the playoffs.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

Acuna has looked better in CF, but we’ll see. Besides, I’m sure Ender will be subbed in for defense late game anyway.
