GDT 8/22/25: Braves vs Mets - Getting That Elite Extension

Nacho was hitting .291/.381/.400 in August before going 2-4 today. His defense is grading out very well. I see him as a .280/.350/.400 hitter with elite defense. Thats a 4 WAR player. Riley can still get full time at bats in the OF corners and DH.

He just doesn't have it, imo. His savant page is brutal. His batting current rates would rank Bottom half in the league in almost every category.

The power is the part I question the most. I am confident he can put up a good batting average and OBP. With his defense he can still be a 3 WAR player even with very low power numbers. As for Riley we will regret it if we trade him. For all the hate he gets he has been over 100 RC every year. I get that he has dissapointed but its not like he has seasons like Albies this year.

If this indeed turns out to be a lost season, we've at least been given the opportunity to see some guys in extended playing time. At the very least, Alvarez could be the back-up IF the team desperately needs. Team still needs a starting SS, but Alvarez could plug in there for a few innings if needed.

Not yet a lost season? I still live by my favorite quote from a movie:

 
Nacho is not gonna work defensively in a middle infield position. He should be looked as an emergency SS/2B only. Really limits him. He should learn LF too. Hard to carry a 3B only bench player.
