Obviously Stewart is a blue chipper so no surprise there, but I’d like to give a shoutout to Mireles and Pryor for their unconventional staying power: Pryor is a perfect build 11 POT who is a very solid C type. He didn’t do well this season and ceded a lot of playing type to Hidalgo who went off this season, but he’ll be getting another shot next year bc I’m willing to juggle extra catcher types. Mireles really impresses me too. A lefty pitcher with no skills called out in his scouting report wouldn’t grab my eye, but after some refinement in AA/AAA after I sent him back there, he’s been able to really hold down the fort when called upon in specific situations and roles. I’m just surprised that of the remaining 3, 2 of them are not really elite just guys that know how to stay useful and be reliable.

Gold glove at 3B. We parted ways in 2021. Waterloo was in the midst of a full rebuild. No room for old guys. Re-signed him 2 seasons later so he could retire a Dino. Seeing as 2024 was going to be our 1st season in Legends we actually kept Paredes over the winter and gave him 1 game at the top level (as a 36 yr old). Good times.

Let him go before he could see LLIV this year, but at least he got to put up a .800 OPS in V last year. Plus with that open roster spot I actually onboarded an old Falcon 2031 draft pick to fill a meaningful role this season, Clifton. I had seen he was putting up big career numbers for Pharr and when they let him go I pounced to get a veteran 2B. At 34 he did great in my opinion, about as much as you could have asked and he ended up getting >300 ABs for us this season. It’s not quite an inherited player but it’s a good storyline and not just for story’s sake, he was very consistent and helped us succeed! Edit: clifton’s in the minor right now while young guys get ABs and I make up my mind on 2048 moves. He got 396 ABs at a .745 ops, so it definitely wasn’t for sentimental reasons deciding to play him! Updated Sunday, November 8 2020 @ 6:26:22 pm PST
