And yet...like I've said before, statcast is surprisingly very positive on Swanson's season this year with the bat despite the high BABIP and a strikeout rate that is too high. It had him as overachieving in his sample size, but not to the point of what we saw back in 2016, it has him as a positive bat even if you remove the luck (for SS outside of the real studs like Lindor/Correa/Seager).
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.
A Moustakas/Camargo platoon would produce pretty elitely for this year, and with Camargo on the short side of that, still free him up to give Bae a day a week. But I’m much more in on Swanson as a full-time starter than you, so I’m not really sure the latter is necessary.

It’s really hard to not feel good about Newcomb. He’s killing it!

Camargo is not the long term answer at 3rd, but he’s hands down the best option this year and would be very solid. They just have to quit jerking him around.
Apparently a press conference with Anthopoulos was called for this morning. Gotta think it’s bautista related since Camargo is playing today vs a lefty
