Should add some clips or pictures when talking about players and their stats. It keeps the viewers engaged and follows your explanations better. Overall, nice breakdown! New sub

[@dwightthomas1029]

Totally agree. Would be very helpful.

[@warmachine_mkv]

Really great break down! You definitely have done your homework. Locally, talk is Merrill may make the move to LF at some point this season. As you mentioned, possibly Marsee in CF. That all dependent upon if the Padres do not make any major moves prior to ST. Another point to add to Ethan Salas is that the Padres moved him up to get more playing time as his High-A teams season was ending sooner than the AA San Antonio Missions season who were looking to extend their season by competing in the Texas League playoffs.

I would love it if Merrill (LF) and Marsee (CF) were in the opening day squad man.

[@LockedOnMLBProspects]

Feels like you'd want Merrill to get more time learning the grass before you make the move, but if he takes to it quickly (which isn't out of the question) that could happen in 2024.

[@user-sg1pt5ry5l]

Just look at Abrams and Tatis… if Merrill is ready he will get the job

[@AndyStewart-zo4nc]

Good job as always.

[@brentstaple]

Huge Padres fan, thank you so much for the video brother!

[@LockedOnMLBProspects]

Of course, glad you enjoyed!

[@Patman0074]

Love it 🫡

[@xXIronSwanXx]

Hope they don't rush Salas. He's already got that star caliber attitude in him, we don't want to mess this up!

[@rayfinkle9369]

Yeah, we have Campusano just getting started. No need to rush Salas.

[@OGTirpleOG]

If kim leaves, and salas balls out in the minors, i can see jake going back to second base and campusano having a split 1B/C role.

[@renemitchell2869]

Sign Bellinger. Cubs tryin...go get him...

[@user-dr2ym5jr7l]

Both will be flops, mark my words
