Kim Ha-sung (29, San Diego Padres), who boasts a contract of 39 million dollars for 4+1 years (about 51.5 billion won), was classified as the big four of the team by Blitzer Report along with Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts. In other words, it is an indispensable key now. Blitzer Report mentioned each club's best scenario for this season on the 9th (Korea time), stressing that Kim Ha-sung is a constant. 토토사이트
"San Diego Padres' opening day pay roll is more than 110 million dollars lower than last year. However, there is still serious and deep potential. The Big Four, including Tatis, Machado, Bogaerts, and Kim Ha-sung, are one of the key five players in the Major League," Bleacher Report said.
However, just because a few players are good at baseball doesn't mean that baseball's team is successful. The starting lineup and the outfield have obvious weaknesses this season. Bleacher Report also said, "When Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove are at the top of the starting lineup, they should be solid."
Three to five starters are virtually impossible. There are not enough proven cards. "Will the pitchers who replaced Soto be able to maintain their positions?" he said. In other words, Michael King, Drew Thorpe, Randy Vazquez, and Jani Brito need to be in the middle of the starting line-up to be able to compete in rankings. "Will Jackson Merrill be in left field be the answer?" he said. The performance of the top prospect in his Major League debut season is also important.
Ultimately, it was first baseman Jake Cronenworth's productivity boost. The Bleacher Report stated, "A former All-Star in both 2021 and 2022, Cronenworth struggled last year. He recovered in the second half as San Diego fought back and tried to reach the postseason, but he struggled with a wrist injury in late August."
"If the first baseman gets back on track, San Diego's chances of advancing to the postseason will improve significantly," Bleacher Report said. Cronenworth is not off to a very good start this year, as he played four times at bat in 16 games, batting .250 with one homer, three RBIs and two runs scored in nine exhibition games.
