2K24: San Diego Padres

[GwynnInTheHall]

5 minutes ago, I never heard of Franchy Cordero. now he's on my team (I'm not saying this is a deep league, but check out the active flotsam and jetsom in my OF of my 4th-place team!).

what did I buy? (there are 8 H openings right now; the guy is fogging a mirror in AAA so he wouldn't have lasted the hour)

22 started slow this season, but has been hot as of late. Will play most of the time as he's their only true CF right now. Not much Pop, but good speed and a decent hitter for average. Like any of the young Padres, has a chance to make a name and possibly stick should any of the other guys get moved (I'd have said Jank, but he's out for w while)

Franchy lead the AA Texas League in triples last year (8), in just 59 games.
He went through both A+ and AA last year, and his AA numbers were easily the best of his team at age 21 (.834 ops vs team overall of .655). But his Ks are a bit too high - he very likely won't do well at this time.

I predict he'll be the Ryan Schimpf of triples this week (Schimpf is 3/18 in his last 7 games, with 3 HRs). I'm starting both of them.

With Braun on the DL - AGAIN - I'll have to put in a bid for Franchy. His 1st name is already worth a few $$$.

Has there ever been a promotion in MLB like this one? five wins ... not games ...

Padres promotion: $99 for five home wins in June ... no matter how many games it takes

[The Dane]

It's probably too late to jump in your league, but Hunter Renfroe is starting to put it together.

That's funny, but lots of teams are running a flat fee for all the games in a month, so I guess it's a similar idea. They have 16 home games in June (which is a lot) but what happens if they don't win 5?

Yesterday:
- Franchy: 1/4, triple, run scored
- Schimpf: 1/4, solo hr
...and the Padres beat the Cubs 2-1

Dickerson went to see a specialist today.

any updates? i can't seem to find anything. will he have a starting job when he returns, or will he be inserted into some awful 4-or-5-man outfield platoon?

GITH gets to throw one coach a day out of his SUV until they win 5.

Drag buddy, get it right.......

2-3 weeks away at last estimate, he started BB replated activities on the 26th.

Renfroe has seemed to have righted the ship and Margot is set in CF and should be back soon. Dickerson will get his chance to grow like the two previously mentioned.

The Padres truly want to see what the three of them can do together as an OF.

I don't think there will be a weird platoon, Green has shown he's going to stick with the plan. Renfroe has started 54 of 55 games, Margot has started 47 of the 51 games (he was injured for a couple of those) Dickerson's slot is, IMO, his to lose once he's good to go. they'll sort out the 4-5 OF as they go, Jank is out into July, Szczur isn't showing much, Spang has been relegated back to the IF only Cordoba has shown that he's an asset in the OF.

So no worries once Dickerson gets back, he'll get his shot and at least a month or so of starts to prove himself.

So Cosart is down with something in his elbow, the same one he had a chip removed from in the offseason. This leaves the Padres down 1 in the rotation with No One to help.

They might rush Weaver back, but he's less than a bad option. None of their injured arms are even close to returning. It's possible they recall one of their guys in the system, but the only one I think might not be horrible is Kelly at AA. The Padres have made that call before, but they signed all this driftwood to avoid the exact problem.

Pirela has been killing AAA, so who knows if he'll stick they have a boatload of who really cares kind of players. Keep an eye out because he could stick (just like all the other shit they've thrown at the wall)

Man I cannot wait until 2019............

Late info, apparently Christian Friedrich is throwing a rehab game Thu so he might be in the mix though I'm not sure his rotation slot will match in time............

Ryan "Fried" Schimpf demoted to AAA

Anything to see here with Pirela? I picked him up at one point last year in my deep NL-only but he didn't last long. He's leading off and killing it right now but he's kinda old without a great track record in the minors. Will he lose playing time when Margot and/or Dickerson come back?

Dickerson just had a setback, no? Pirela also killed it in the minors -- I took a chance on him.
