I did the same thing and had the same idea. Then I looked at his home/away splits. Playing in Denver has helped him a lot. His career OPS away is something like .730. No thanks. Frazier, Luplow, and Osuna should all be able to top that.

<t>I think Milwaukee is going to cash in their OF chips for some pitching help. I'd love to get Santana, and i can see them being interested in Harrison. I just think they have to view their pitching as the bigger need.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I'm less sold on Nimmo. He's probably a corner OFer event...

I went Kramer because of his performance at an upper level, and I'm buying into his power jump. He may not have as much power in years to come as last, but if most of it survives, he is an interesting middle IFer.

<t>Frazier and Luplow or Osuna will share LF. One of Osuna and Luplow probably won’t make the team out of ST. Which has an option left? <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The bench will be Freese, Diaz, SRod, Moroff, and one of Osuna or Luplow. Those two guys overlap too much. I think they’ll want to keep Moro...

<t>You can make a case that the Royals are the model. They won in ‘15 without a regular having an OPS > 850. There were no stars in the lineup, but they had several somewhat above average regulars with 6 players having an OPS > 800. Most of those guys hit 15-20 HRs along with Perez at C whose OPS wa...

<t>I would go Hayes, Moran, Reynolds, Newman at 5-8.  Reynolds’ A+ stats compare favorably with Meadows’. He’s older and played in the Cal League not the FSL, so it’s not apples-to-apples, but it is all we have to go on. He also was better than Luplow who was the same age though rated much lower at ...

<t>I can see an argument for him as high as #5. I cannot see putting him ahead of Tucker as Tucker still has the potential to be above average at a premium position.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> You could argue that he belongs ahead of Hayes because he's two levels ahead - so that risk is removed - and sh...
