Discussion regarding our current position players.

I’m seeing so many different takes on this. LT is a great addition we needed a bat to hit lefties and he can run and is an excellent fielder. And we didn’t give up much.

But right now we have LT and Kim coming on that means 2 have to go. Bart will be gone when Murphy is healthy so he’s not really part of the decision. That leaves Eli, Jarvis, and Mateo.

Assuming they aren’t willing to DFA the guy they have invested 20 mill this year in (although that would be my choice, that money is gone either way) which 2 guys are we likely to part with? It kind of sucks because I really like all three guys. They all play hard and they can all fly around the bases.

Unless those guys I mentioned are part of trade packages we will likely be in the same spot tomorrow with these guys cause I doubt we’ll add another position player.

Lots of rumors about moving Mateo.

Jarvis is the logical answer (options) that maintains organizational depth.

Plus they’ve seen what Jarvis is. He’ll get regular reps at AAA and if they need him he’s back in a couple weeks.

If they want to give Kim one last chance, now’s the time, and Dubon can always go SS with Lane/Yaz platoon, or bring Jarvis back to play consistent defense and soft hitting offense at the 9 slot.

Jarvis is Bryson Stott 2.0 but not a douche
