Nope… lets keep Jankowski. We don’t need another shortstop that can’t hit.
redking
As a Padre fan I would rather keep Jankowski.

Profar for Jankowski seems more realistic
MiamiPhins34
Lol no.
JeD242
Totally agree, although for Profar may require another player
Toadkiller
JD would be fired on the spot if he made that trade. That is not in realm of realistic.
bitterpadresfan
Profar would cost Jankowski and at least one more of our top prospects and at this point I don’t see his value. He may pan out but he sure as hell hasn’t yet.
banksy_
Why? Profar is blocked everywhere but 1B, which seems like an underutilization of of tools. He’s only controllable 3 more years, and hasn’t quite lived up to his billing this far. Jankowski has 5 years of control left, plays every OF spot at a well above average rate, and already proved himself to be a valuable commodity even if he doesn’t ever hit .280. He put up 2.1 WAR in his rookie season while only batting .245/.332/.313, if he can make the expected strides at the plate you could have a 3-3.5 WAR premium defender.

I’m a Padre fan and jankowski is pretty fungible. Good glove, can’t really hit, fast. Perfect fourth outfielder profile. If they can get anything of value for that it’s a good deal. A rebuilding team doesn’t need a fourth outfielder if they can get something better for him.

He’s Peter Bourgeois

Profar? Lol that will work out similar to the Ross fiasco

I like Janikowski. Hes not as bad of a hitter as the numbers look or how a lot of writers portray him to be. Not saying a .330 obp is great but its not awful for a young player. Hes got a lot of tools that are going to continue to develop. I look for him to add some power as well, long and athletic body type.

Jankowski***. Unless he can kick fgs!

Alberto would be a nice secondary piece for Jankowski. He has never been a top prospect and has not shown any skill at the plate, so maybe if the Rangers add a couple of relief arms like Faulkner and Payano. Neither are great prospects and will never be a starter, but they are certainly better than Alberto. Faulkner was scouted by our international scouting director. One can help the Padres now, one in a couple of years.
DeadliestCatch
Agreed on the additional players

Lol Jankowski for two relievers and a fringe prospect. Talk about quantity over quality.

In today’s MLB, how is hitting .275, modest?
disgruntledreader 2
In any day’s PCL, reaching base at a .302 clip is looking a long way up to see modest.
DeadliestCatch
Rather them trade Dickerson and keep Jankowski. Margot and Jankowski make an excellent outfield. Hit jankowski leadoff and margot 9th.
Unless the Padres get a significant package for Jankowski keep him. For instance Sadzeck and Morgan plus Palumbo for Jankowski and Hand.
padreforlife
Significant package for guy who drove in 5 runs at Petco? Really?
Math&Baseball
Rather the Padres trade Dickerson than Jankowski. Jankowski gives the padres something they havent had in a couple years- speed of the base paths. While his batting line is decent he is a terror on the base paths and has turned many singles and walks into doubles and triples with his speed.
If they are trading Jankowski I hope the padres get something significant in return to justify dealing him. Jankowski, Margot, Renfoe in the OF would be exciting for years to come.
Ive longed been enamored by Sadzeck, Morgan, Guzman, De Leon, Payano, Palumbo. So maybe a deal with Jankowski, Buchter or Hand, and another player for some package would work for some of those players involved. ,
davidcoonce74
He hit 2 triples last season and 16 doubles. He’s a singles hitter period.
p4dr35
30 stolen bases are essentially turning those singles/walks into doubles.
padreforlife
Dickerson last I checked drives in runs and has higher upside
