I’m sure all of the regular posters are going to disagree, but I think Wil Myers is going to have a bounce back season. He kind of started to hit the end of last season, maybe the new manager can get his production dialed in. He’s 29, sometimes career years happen in the 28-32 range.
It has been tough dealing him, he may be staying with the Padres.
35+ HRs for Wil. Take a late round flyer on him in your fantasy draft.

Any time now, Wil. |

Talent is there. But it's all psychological with Wil. He has to buy in and be focused.

A healthy Wil Myers is definitely capable of hitting 35+ HR’s in the launch angle/live ball era. He makes too much money to just sit on the bench. If he is hitting .214 with a ton of K’s and a .275 OBP going into the AS Break, then I would have to say he is done with the Padres, another lackluster signing. |

A lackluster signing that the Padres still owe $68.5 million minimum on. |

He had a very nice September. 77 AB's, .312 BA, .532 SLG, .897 OPS. sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8859/splitsMyers is one of the few who actually hits better at Petco than he does on the road. He had an .877 OPS against LHP vs. .705 against righties, so he is an ideal candidate to platoon. Penciling him into the lineup card every day would be a mistake, no matter how much money he makes. SDP has OF depth this season. |

Platoon him and Grisham in right field. Think Grisham has a breakout campaign in 2020. |

Because that's what the Padres will do Not a nerd, but yes, platooning has its advantages, especially if you have a balanced lineup and a weakness on one side of the plate. Hunter Renfroe is a prime example. Crushed lefties, could never hit right handed pitching. I would expect Tampa to platoon him. |

I don't think you have to be an analytics guru to think that platooning (for certain guys) makes alot of sense.

Teams wanted regular starters at every position, and players would complain they would lose their swing if they had to take a few days off. In the analytics world, I could see a possible change on this subject, that's why I was asking. |

I don’t think the Pads brought Grisham in to platoon him, he will be either in RF or CF until he slumps his way out of the lineup. Most of the depth charts seem to feel Pham in LF, Grisham in CF, Myers in RF.
Margot will certainly get his ab’s, but I don’t think .235-.245 with limited bleacher reaching power is what the Padres are looking for in an everyday CF. If he hit .280 with a .340 OBP it would be a different story.

In an ideal world, they find a trade partner for Myers and Grisham slides to right. Still think there is a trade coming in the next month. |

They should platoon Myers with Hosmer at 1B as well. Trading for Myers was a huge mistake. Giving him a huge contract was an even bigger mistake. Trading him now by giving up some good prospects and taking back half of his salary is probably a mistake as well. I would give him a chance this year. If he does well, he has more trade value and he would less years left on his contract. Myers would be fine with a brain transplant.
I think Margot would have been fine platooning in CF.
If I was Colorado or Arizona I would definitely trade for Myers, especially since the Pads seem to be willing to give up prospects and pay half the salary. He would probably hit well in Boston as well.
