Sheldon's article has me pumped.
I'm going out there and saying that they don't need to sign big FAs. I always believed in CES and if they still have France, that's a hell of a 1-2 punch. Spread out Stephenson and France in the lineup because they are both excellent at going to the opposite field, RF.
McLain only played in 13 games, hit a semi-weak .240, but had 4 homers in those 13 games playing at 2B, 3B and CF. I agree with Bengalsfan74. McLain should be at SS. For those of you that don't understand why I want EDLC in the outfield instead of McLain, watch this . . . sorry for the standard definition.
Arroyo back healthy, hopefully he keeps progressing.
Never heard of this kid before . . . from the article.
Unranked prospect Tyler Callihan missed a couple of months from June-August with a hand injury. Able to play in the AFL, Callihan batted .263 with a .762 OPS, two homers and 10 RBIs in 19 games. Normally a second baseman, the lefty hitter got significant playing time in left field.
"He started swinging the bat from Day 1 upon his return to the lineup in Double-A,” Farrell said. “He earned a promotion to Triple-A at the end of the year. We wanted to continue to get him at-bats and he just kept hitting.”
Luis Mey, 8 2/3 scoreless over 8 games, 2 walks, 8 strikeouts and 6 saves.
Jose Acuna working his way up the pipeline . . . also from the article
Another right-hander, Jose Acuna, impressed while posting a 2.77 ERA in four games -- including three starts. The 22-year-old walked 11 and struck out 16 over 13 innings. Acuna opened the '24 season in extended spring camp, but he pitched a combined 15 games with the Rookie-level ACL Reds, Double-A and Triple-A Louisville.
"He’s always shown an advanced feel to pitch and has some pitchability in his game,” Farrell said. “Continuing to build and log innings was important. He went out and made the Fall Stars team and had a really good fall.”
