I like Casparius and also Henriquez. I think Pages would be good off the bench but he scares me as the center fielder. I would hate a repeat of last year’s first play of the game where Outman couldn’t get to the ball. We need solid defense.
On that first ball, let's not forget it was hit at what, about 116 mph or so? I played CF at various levels in my younger days. I can tell you a ball that fast is not a routine play by any stretch of the imagination.
For fielding, I would take Outman over Pages anyday and twice on Sunday. For hitting this year? Well, that is a horse of another color.
But for some reason my head is thinking, "Who is going to be available in the offseason."
I am thinking resign Flaherty & Teoscar.
Sign Adames and how much will Soto cost? Will he take deferred?
then Sasaki, ?
Will we need another SP? Ohtani, Yamamoto, Flaherty, Sasaki, Kersch, May, Stone, Miller, Gonsolin, Grove, maybe Walker if the right price and tradable...
If so, Burnes, Fried, take your pick of many here, some depending on opt out like Cole.
Cost vs Value?
Don't be Buzzi Bavasie and skip Nolan Ryan 16-8 with thinking 2 cheaper pitchers at 8-4 are just as good.
Might have some good trade bait with an overloaded of SPs. Move one to the pen?
Bull Pen get Tanner.
As of now, I am not impressed on available 3b. Neither Astros, trade with the Cards, or anyone better than Muncy's combined O & D.
Oh, Playoffs. Almost forgot.
You are correct. It depends on Miggy. If Edmons can play CF, then Pages. If not, Kier will do.
Pitching? Can we sign a hot dog venders on the rooster if we need help?

Agree, but I don't think Pages would ever be in center. If anything, he'd be in RF with Mookie sliding back to 2B... at least I hope so!

Andy Pages over Chris Taylor and Edgardo Henriquez over Danial Hudson.
The reasoning seems quite solid, no arguments here!
I will watch the playoffs with anticipation,
