Joe with another rough outing, 4 ER in 1.2. However, he did lower his ERA from INF to 43.2

Marsee getting the start today in CF. If Marsee continues to be this good at the plate, he will be penciled in as our starting center fielder. He's very good at controlling the strike zone.

Marsee looking very good, but then again, look at the pitching right now. Hitters are way ahead of them. Still, this is a very promising development.

Marsee is a center fielder, and from what I saw in the Fall League, a good one. He wouldn't be switching positions either. I would, at this moment, take Marsee over Merrill. But Merrill is only 20, so he could also have a bright future (Marsee is only 22).

Merrill is the better athlete, but neither one should be starting out of the gate. Both is a recipe for failure.

I would hope AJ isn't done yet, as we could use another outfielder. But I look forward to Marsee roaming in CF at some point.

I would be very happy if we can get someone with experience at that position who becomes a good contributor.

Development is a process. I agree. It's good to see them working out with the big boys and getting a little higher level of competition and some decent reps at that higher level. But are they ready for a full major league season? Likely not yet. And there would be nothing worse, at this point, than to stunt their development/confidence by having them sit on the bench in the bigs when they could be getting daily starts in high level minors. Plus, there are all those pesky contract limitations to stay ahead of. Yet, at least one position in the OF remains open - even if Profar is a placeholder. Giving up two of three OF spots in the line-up to less than average players will not work out in the course of a season.

How Tommy Pham doesn't have an offer yet from anyone is an indictment against this market. Baseball has a serious optics problem where owners are still bringing in record profits and flat out refuse to spend.

Actually, if you knew a bit more about him personally (especially some of his close family members), it might not be so surprising. One of his close family members got into it with a friend of mine after a game last season at The Omni. Tommy quickly left the scene (he was not directly involved). The charges are still pending in the local court system.

One of the most respected guys in the clubhouse. Attitude issue...lol. Depends on who you talk to. Lol. No, it really doesn't. "In the middle of a long conversation with Tommy Pham, New York Mets manager Buck Showalter listed the veteran outfielder’s five former teams. As the two sat in Showalter’s office in Kansas City on the day of the trade deadline, discussing yet another new organization for Pham, Showalter noted that the Mets had played against all of Pham’s previous clubs. Then Showalter’s voice softened as he shared an observation that, more than a month later, still resonates with Pham. “It says a lot about a player,” Showalter told Pham, “when you have former teammates, coaches, people in the PR and the media coming up to you during BP from every team you’ve played on.”

Here's just a few Tommy (The Hot Head) Pham moments, He called out that same Mets team, under Showalter, and called them the least hard working team. You're really going to enamor your teammates with call outs like that. The same Tommy Pham cursed out, on live television, his Padres teammate (I think it was Kim) for almost colliding with him on a pop out. Yeah, that's real professional. His teammates sure didn't like that. The same Tommy Pham who slapped Joc Peterson over a BET. Sheesh. The same Tommy Pham who continually gets into it with fans. Rabbit ears. The same Tommy Pham who wanted to fight Luke Voit. "I know how to get down really well." We all know what happened at Pacers. Wow. Shall I go on?

No, because you sound like an uninformed, bitter and resentful person, misrepresenting facts all over the place.
