JJ is on the clock...at this point the next week should be like our opening day for 2023. Then the 2022 Baseball Winter Meetings* will take place Dec. 4-7th, in San Diego. When we can get excited for the coming spring training...or not. Finally: I would love to see Zack 1 more yr.
I’m gearing up for an eventful winter. There’s too much to do and Picollo has free reign with the charge from ownership to be different than his predecessor.
Agree on Zack. As long as he can go five, hand him the baseball every 5th day.
Craig, assuming we can credit Picollo with the Waters move, hat's off! He appears to be a classic "change of scenery" guy, or one who just needed the right coaching to unlock his potential. I read somewhere (maybe you?) that Dayton would not have made the competitive balance trade, so here's to being more "transactional"! You mentioned Salvy's input on his diet...the broadcast just talked about a change in diet that added 10 pounds since coming up, and then showed Salvy goofing with Waters in the dugout. Probably all the same thing, I guess. Maybe they should make Salvy a training diet consultant?
Sherman called out that move specifically at the press conference when they let Moore go, so I’ll give Picollo full credit on that one. For all the talk about being more “transactional” I think Moore was just a little too gun shy to make bold moves and that’s part of what frustrated Sherman at the end.

Salvy’s value is endless, isn’t it?
Is Alex Zumwalt a legitimate candidate to be the next manager?
I think Saylor is a much more likely candidate.
