Wieck has good makeup. kinks could be worked out with good coaching. Edwards is more immediate help.
As for Trammel, horrible trade. overwhelmed in AA, regressing. Strikes out alot, OBP is low, despite what local spinning heads want you to believe. i would normally say he'll never make it to the league, but Preller will bounce him for AA for a week or two just for show.

IF Trammell makes the Padres eventually, it will be in LF, IMHO. Edwards Jr. could be a steal. Perhaps the change of scenery will help him regain his effectiveness that he had before this season. Personally, I like the Edwards Jr. deal MUCH more than the deal that brought us Trammell.

Edward Olivares has a .368 OBP. www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=milb&player_id=658668#/career/R/hitting/2019/ALL curious who has the better upside at Amarillo in CF

Olivares played in a much more hitter friendly league and is 18 months older.

Olivares played in a much more hitter friendly league and is 18 months older. Texas League overall league average is .251, the Southern League is .240. Trammell was hitting .236 in the Southern League. Olivares is hitting .302, good for 5th in the Texas League. And yes, Olivares' numbers do drop off dramatically on the road, but he is still hitting .275. I am very curious as to whether Trammell can take advantage of the "more hitter friendly league".

Don't use batting average to evaluate players, especially if you're going to overlook age. Park factors and wRC+ are your greatest assets here. Trammell's biggest issue this season is an infield flyball rate that has more than doubled from last year. Mechcanical fix?

Trammell's biggest issue this season is an infield flyball rate that has more than doubled from last year. Mechcanical fix? As you said, he is only 18 months older (I added the "only") than Trammell. I did look at the body of work for both players--not just batting average. I am more impressed with Olivares, as his numbers have basically improved each year. I get concerned when a player moves up, as Trammell did this season, and he takes a step back, IMHO. My question for you would be this--if Trammell's numbers improve, would it due to him maturing more as a hitter, or would it be more due to park factors and such?

Combination of both. wRC+ adjusts for league, but not ballpark.

Carl Edwards Jr closes out the 6-1 Chihuahuas victory tonight, with a scoreless 9th inning, posting zeroes across the board except for 2 K's. Would like to see the Padres bring him up sooner rather than later.

The inauspicious debut of Trammell with Amarillo continues. 2-16 with 5 K's in his first 4 games. He needs a slumpbuster or something.
In a related note, Edward Olivares was taken out of tonight's game early with a lower body injury. The Sod Poodles lead their division by 3 games in the second half, after winning the first half.

A "lower body injury" sounds like the injury lists for a hockey team--consisting of either upper or lower body injuries.

Olivares is back in the lineup tonight. Glad he avoided major injury.

Carl Edwards Jr joins the Padres today from El Paso. Gerardo Reyes sent to El Paso in the corresponding move. I really hope the good Carl Edwards Jr shows up, instead of the struggling 2019 version.

I would have rather seen The Pads acquire a front line SP for Franmil.
Right now Trammell is on track for September of NEXT year. 7-42 in Amarillo (.167) is not instilling confidence that he will be taking at bats away from Naylor or Margot anytime soon.

I'm sure the Padres would have liked that as well. I'm guessing the market for Reyes just wasn't that great.

That is interesting, I thought that the Padres world class minor league developmental eyes had immediately fixed a flaw in Trammels swing and corrected his launch angle and path to the ball? Last week it was like he was "cured". Let me guess- he has an very unlucky, almost heard of BABIP this month? LOL

SEPT of 2020 may be a bit too optimistic, I do not pretend to be a baseball scout but this kid seems like he is far from a finished product. And who knows if he makes it all.
