Nice idea for a series

I don’t see Renfroe getting the call unless maybe they deal both corner OF spots (obviously eating a lot of money), along with Jay (who is a given I would think). I think right now they will call up Alex Dickerson before Renfroe as he is older, to give him a shot. Of course when Jay is dealt Jankowski will start in center.

This is exactly right. Dickerson will be the next man up in the outfield for the Padres when/if they move Melvin Upton, Jr. or as a bench piece when they move Jay and let Jankowski play center.

Yup Dickerson is doing quite well in AAA, so he’ll more than likely be called up before Renfroe.

Jankowski got hurt tonight. One of those two should get called up when he goes on the DL. Now if Kemp can just keep hitting enough to make trading him possible….

Why don’t we start by hoping that Kemp can keep hitting enough that he gets up to being league average before we pretend there’s any chance he can be traded for anything?
And Jankowski walked off the field on his own and isn’t at all certain to be put on the DL. If he does wind up there, Dickerson is the obvious choice for a short-term bench role. (Ideally in conjunction with releasing Rosales outright and designating Amarista in favor of any two of Schimpf, Asuaje, McElroy, or Pirela.

Welcome to MLBTR Jason! Great stuff!

Also, the A’s AAA affiliate moved to Nashville. Sacramento is now the Giants AAA team.

A’s triple A team isn’t located in Sacramento anymore.

Great segment! Don’t be afraid to talk about the less mainstream players either! Any emerging prospects are interesting. Love to hear a new perspective.

The Phillies seemingly went from giving 20 starts to Jerome Williams to be floating in pitching prospects.

Bregman has more extra base hits than strikeouts as of yesterday. At this point the Astros could us him like the Rangers are using Profar. There’s little doubt Bregman could out hit Marwin Gonzalez, Tyler White and Evan Gattis right now.

I think its more about continuing his development.

I dont see how. He has made a mockery of the Texas League right now. They just dont know what to do with the situation. In reality, Carlos Correa needs to be moved to third base, not Bregman. I dont know how or when they want to address this. Correa would be an elite defensive 3b, and Bregman is at worst equal to Correa defensively. at SS. Before I get flamed for saying Correa isnt a good defender at SS… he is not. He has a tremendous arm, that keeps him at the position. But he has already probably put on 15 to 20 lbs of muscle in the past 18 months. His range is getting limited and he is booting balls.

As unrealistic as a trade of that magnitude would be, I think you’re pretty close in terms of value, maybe a bit much going to the Braves, note I’m saying this even with high value for Inciarte.

Would never happen. Both teams get screwed.

Trea Turner didn’t make the cut?
Math&Baseball
Why do your trades always involve like half the 25 man roster for each team to he dealt? Should they be swapping cities and stadiums as well?

Love these new blog type posts. I thought I was going to miss the newsletter but if this is the content that replaces them, I will not be disappointed

Great idea for an article. And thank you for including Ben Lively. People are missing out on the amazing season he’s having

De Leon has been held back so he can finish the season with the big club. He should be good for about 140 innings this year and once he gets his IP up to 6 innings he can be moved up to the MLB roster where he will have enough innings in his arm to make it thru September. He should be good for 18 to 20 starts. The Dodgers are at 65 games right now leaving 97 games to go. That’s less than 20 starts per slot.

Cool idea, nice write-up. This site gets better and better. 1 guys

Oh, also, the Astros are no longer a disappointment. They have been winning series/games and are 9.5 out with nearly 4 months to go. Picking up 2 to 3 games a month can be done. They do need to add some pitching depth but the bats are there.

No Manuel Margot in SD?
disgruntledreader 2
That is correct.

Jason, so glad you brought this back. I remember when you had this series on mlbdepthcharts, a.k.a. RosterResource. I think it was called “Knocking on the door”. I was sad to see it go away. Glad to see you brought it back. Keep up the awesome work.

As a Padre fan, I would like to see all three OF moved but know that Jay is most likely and then Upton. Kemp is unmovable and a power bat. They won’t eat that contract after the Shields fiasco. I would love to see Jankowski play everyday. He could be the young lead off hitter with a good average, ability to draw walks, great defense and steal a lot of bases. It is probably a dream though.
