Edgy MD Site Manager Posted December 1, 2021 Posted December 1, 2021 McNeil already had considerable equity in two different numbers. He's the team's all-time #68, and he was breathing down Backman's neck for the all-time claim to #6.I would think he'd want to put Backman in the rearview mirror before going after Mookie. But that's our Jeff.
Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 I approve of this shuffling
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 I'm not particularly comfortable with outfielders in 19. It feels like a guy that's not long for the roster, like Cory Sullivan or Shawn Hare, or two-timers whose second go-around is ill-advised, like Roger Cedeño or Jay Bruce.Anthony Young is my all-time 19, and I like to see it on rotation grinders and swing men like himself.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 19 in the outfield reminds me of Ryan Church. But for me, the classic 19 is Bobby Ojeda.I don't see McNeil as a 1. I'd give him a number in the teens, if one is available. But last I heard, it's not up to me.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted December 2, 2021 Author Posted December 2, 2021 If McNeil were on the Billboard Hot 100, going from 68 to 6 to 1 would be ideal.
Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 McNeil was a pretty good No. 6-- dirty uniform, versatile, organization product, left-handed hitter. All of the key criteria for No. 6 met right there.19 is a reserve corner outfielder's number for sure.I like pitchers in 21-- sorta like Clemens but not. Was a good match for Rich Hill.10 is just kinda eh
kcmets Old-Timey Member Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Also, reading between lines that aren't really there, you don't issue a guy #1 and thenjust trade his ass away after new Collective Bargaining Agreement is in place. Amirite?

Amirite?Yeah, I read that the same way. Seems to "solidify" his spot a bit, for whatever that's worth. But what the hell do I know.
