I understand this isn’t Columbus clippers reddit but that clippers lineup could honestly compete in the majors… they activated kayfus and added ralphy today
watson, ingle, ralphy, genao, jones, kayfus, fairchil, huff, Brito could get 4+ runs against the tigers tonight without a doubt it my mind
without even mentioning Valera or tolentio lol crazy how deep this organization is from the position player pool now
Ralphy can’t have an alcoholic beverage for the next week+ still yet he is now a phone call away from being a stalwart in this lineup… the magnitudes of prospect they‘ve been dealing with lately is greater that we’ve seen in a long time… but something in the process has changed for the guardians FO since LTA/bibee/williams, there hasn’t been that same desire to hold guys back or have a set number of ABs they need to see they’re trusting their evaluations and the work these kids are putting in and it’s paying real dividends with a lot more exciting guys coming
Obviously no one is going to believe Watson can even be competent until we see it… some people don’t care about winning over their morality which is their right… however monken is getting his first look at each one of these guys and if he deems that Watson is the guy he believes gives them the best chance to win, then I’m open minded especially with how stale stefasnkis offense had gotten sans nick Chubb
if the Jose and delauter flip is permanent I think I’d like to see them go 2 steps further and roll with Jose as a the leadoff hitter followed by bazzana and then Delauter…. Jose sees pitches and draws walks, once he’s on base we know he’s a threat which distracts the pitcher with another guy who sees pitches and draws walks, who also steals bags… and then when you have 2 guys on who can distract the pitcher you know what you get? another guy who sees pitches and draws walks lol it would just be such a pain in the ass for pitchers to see those 3 guys back to back to back…. questions, thoughts, concerns?
with the obvious caveat that its been a small sample, do we think Kenny rolls strus out there with a lineup that’s been pretty bad or do we see someone else tonight?
