I see Lane as an above average hitter with great speed. Sure he's not a home run move but we didn't give up a major haul and he's certainly an improvement over every RF option we have. Plus he's by all counts a great clubhouse guy. This move at the very least tells us the FO is making moves to improve the team. We should be feeling optimistic. Let's go get some arms
Fits perfect in our system absolut underrated move i think we can expect an above average ball player who complements the lineup and maybe more like a 30/30 season next year
I have talked myself into liking this move. Against RHP he's still going to give you equal or better results than we've gotten from the likes of Brennan and Freeman in the OF. Against LHP he's one of the best in baseball. And he offers some of the best baserunning in the game. He'll be playing in some capacity basically every day, which makes the cost worth it for me.
Bad trade! Alex Clemmey was the highest rated pitching prospect, not named Espino! Lane Thomas isn't a difference maker. I believe Clemmey is a Starter, not reliever. Won't get to majors for about four years, but definitely helped Nationals Farm System!
@@LockedonGuardians for us he probably is and that's the sad part. This is not 2023 Lane Thomas minus he steals more bases this year. Not good defensively. We need more. Still time left but majorly but a little disappointed.
Upgrade over Tyler freeman. Better than Noel in the field. Let Xmas be DH and Thomas is fine as CF/RF option. Not going to hurt us out there and is at least a solid 5th spot in the lineup
