Opening Day is just around the corner, Padres fan! Here’s how the roster SHOULD look, if we’re all being honest.
Beaty can play both corner outfield AND both corner infield spots so he can backfill at multiple positions. Myers hasn’t done much during Cactus League play and has underperformed his contract but unlike Hosmer nobody can question his commitment. Plus, at 31 years old he still has a few years left in his prime and a return to the 30-HR guy we saw a few years ago is infinitely possible.
Profar is probably best used as a super-utility kind of guy instead of an everyday left fielder but he’s shown more than enough ability to handle the defensive demands of the position. The question is his bat and a general lack of power in the San Diego lineup.I really, really like this group. Like, a lot more than most people do. Pitchers love throwing to Nola.
Pitchers also love to work with Caratini . His bat seems to be at its best when he’s playing a few times a week. He really wore down last year having to be the everyday backstop because of injuries but has thrived in his career as the backup.
