Wrong about what? The move was the right one, on paper, every single time. Let's hope it manifests on the field. Franmil has very little value long term without a DH in play. Paper said he was regressing and overmatched at AA. Padres gave up 3 players. On paper, 1 of those players had reached career highs in half a Major League season. Another one of those players Victor Nova looks promising in Rookie League. If Paper is right every time, the Padres should be barred from ever trading with the Cleveland Indians! Except his walk rate was higher and his strikeout rate was static. Those aren't typical signs of being overmatched for a league. The big problem, as referenced earlier, is he just not barreling up balls consistently, resulting in a 27% infield flyball rate. Double his career average. Correctable. Victor Nova was a nice kid on paper, but he didn't have a defensive home anywhere.

Trammell just launched his first Amarillo home run. Line drive screamer to right.

Note the difference after just a few games. He was struggling until that bomb, no? Just what I read.

The larger point and much more important point being that the Padres have already identified a flaw and are actively changing his swing after just a handful of games. His last AB was a sharp lineout to right. Harder contact, easier swing path.

Ryan,
I'm a supporter of yours and think you're incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable.
You're reaching just a little bit on the last couple of posts. Its baseball. Over 20-25 at bats the hitter can have line drives, screamers, a can of corn, a dying quail, or a ground ball "with eyes" buddy. You know that.
Way too early to discuss if he has changed his swing, corrected an error, etc. Maybe he did. Maybe he was facing a pitcher with no future, right?
Just sayin, bro.

The point you both missed is that I don't care (nor should you) about 5 games worth of surface stats. I care more about the Padres being able to point to player development and actually be able to take a guy who is "struggling" and identify a solution. We'll see.

You in a nutshell. Cool story. You have nothing relevant to add because your takes are so horrendously awful. That's not my fault. As usual, you are a complete knob to anyone on this board that disagrees with you and your statistics. That also includes other sports writers and fans that have been supporting the Padres from the beginning. You have proven nothing with statistics. You said the 2018 Padres would be around .500 before the season started yet they lost nearly 100 games. I can go back and find your post with your stats and paste it if you want. I'm sure you will come up with some more stats that no long time Padres fan gives a crap about to prove why the team underachieved. You also said the same thing for this year's team as well. Yet they are currently the 3rd worst team in the National League. More stats coming I'm sure. Yeah, Padres fans get it. I as well like what the Padres are doing and believe it or not have been paying attention. But for a MLB franchise to only make the playoffs 5 times in 50 years, the wait till next year approach has become beyond frustrating. Then, the disappointed Padres fans on AztecMesa have to put up with you demeaning them with your inside information that is nothing more than paraphrasing your favorite sports writer of the day. I've read some of your BS and then found the article where you nearly copied and pasted the information. There are sports writers and MLB experts that don't agree with adding more prospects to an already stacked farm system without adding some veterans in order for the Padres to get to the next level and start competing. There is also a thing called team chemistry, and Franmil was a favorite in the clubhouse. Reyes was on Pace to hit 40+ bombs in the National League at 24 years old so I really don't get the DH lable put on him so early in his career. I'm sure you have some stats for it though. As to your analytical post about the Dodgers and Astros, they have something the Padres don't. They have verterns on their pitching staff. You might want to check the 2017 World Series pitching staffs for both teams. And while the Dodgers have had success finding talent through scouting and their farm system, they have had deep pockets throughout the years. There is nothing analytical about that. The Astros did rebuild much like the Padres are doing. However, they added some veterans to their pitching staff and didn't take 10 years to do it. Again, if anyone disagrees with you including other sports writers and 45 year fans, somehow they are not as smart as you and post horrible nonvaluable information. I've played enough baseball and umpired it to know what's going on. I also know that back in day, teams didn't over think things with all these current ridiculous stats to know if guy was good enough to play, hit, catch and throw. You do have your fanclub of one, so good job!! Go read something about the Padres and get back to us. We can't wait to hear about all the valuable information and stats you have for us.

I don't aim to be hostile, but the unnecessary digs are tiresome. I'm sorry if I upset you. Internet drama really isn't my thing. Yeah, I was wrong on last year's team. Eric Hosmer was a complete letdown. The pitching didn't progress as expected and there were serious roster holes that were exposed. You got me there. I would have taken the over on the season total wins this year as well, so that would have lost, too. Not much to handicap with injuries and extreme youth, plus some questionable managerial tactics, pretty impossible to quantify. Not going to address any further than that. Good luck to you.

As a born and raised, long-suffering SD sports fan I can tell you that venting fan(atics)are by their nature inherently irrational and unfair - and I don't think entitlement has anything to do with it. We watched Bochy leave and win 3 WS with a division rival. We watched Marlon McCree brain-fart fumble away a possible championship. As a sports fan you can only take so much heartbreak before becoming bitter. That said I'm in agreement with you on most/all of your Pads' takes, but you gotta understand what Alumtec's takes are rooted in (and it ain't entitlement).
