Marcell Ozuna Watch - (Update: Traded to Cards Pg. 13)

[cardsfantx]

Martinez wiil be the fourth OF if Grichuk and Piscotty are gone.

no....he can't play CF (and not great at either corner OF spot to be honest)

[JL21]

I feel good about trading both Piscotty and Grichuk and going into '18 with Bader and O'Neill as our backup OF'ers. I think Bader demonstrated his usefulness as a backup CF'er. O'Neil can also play CF and has had a full season at AAA. He's ready for the majors.

What a serious OF that is. If Pham is what he was last year, and Ozuna does what he did in '17, that's the best OF in the NL (maybe?) and the best we've had in ........ I can't remember. Ever, maybe? I'm high on trade adrenaline.

That's a fun question, so I had to look it up. The 2001-2003 teams had Edmonds, Pujols, and Drew, which is pretty tough to top. 2012 was really good with Beltran, Holliday, and Jay/Craig. 1996 had Gant, Jordan, and Lankford. In recent memory, those are your contenders.

no idea on the stats, but the OF of larry walker, reggie sanders and edmonds was pretty fun too

Oh geez. Yeah, Edmonds, Pujols, Drew is way up there. We won't get to that level. Not even close. Even the non-Mickey Mantle version of Drew would be the best OF'er on this club. And Pujols and Edmonds are two of the best ever at their position ... though only one gets the credit.

Fowler will play CF when Pham doesn’t.

He's not a good fielder I'll give you that but Ozuna or Fowler could play CF on Pham's off days. If it's a long-term injury, that's a little different.

That group played a big role in making me the fan I am today.

[Cronos]

Hey, Cronos, what's up? Good to hear from you.

Hey Sigh, doing well, thanks. You as well?

Looking at a little bit more time on my hands lately as I may be transitioning to a new career, but we'll see. Excited about all the achieved and potential movement with the team today!

By the end of '04 we had Edmonds, Walker, and Reggie Sanders.

At some point, Bader and O'Neil will be on the roster with those three. We'll have 5 relatively capable CF'ers on the roster.

Ozuna is probably still a better CF'er than Fowler, to be honest, but he won't play there anymore.
