The LG Twins, who endured well in the first half and went on a winning streak, are not unusual. The win rate in July is 0.300 (3 wins, 7 losses), which is the lowest among 10 clubs. Most of all, it is very unfortunate that the starting lineup, which is not suitable for a team challenging the presidency, is virtually devastated. After all, there is no other way to reinforce power during the season. It is a situation where you cannot help but think of a trade that is carried out while promoting a ‘win-win’ with other clubs.

On the 26th, the LG Twins suffered a 3-4 defeat in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League away match against KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park after 12 overtime battles. LG, who lost this day, fell into a pit of 5 consecutive losses without exceeding 9 once again. Recording 49 wins, 2 draws and 33 losses, LG maintained its first place in the league. However, on the same day, they were chased by 0.5 game by second place SSG Landers, who defeated Samsung 8-7. 4.5 games with 3rd place Doosan. The ride with NC in 4th place is 6.5 games. It can be said that it is a ride that can never be relieved.

LG’s goal this season is to win. Many baseball players see this season as the right time for LG to win. First of all, the team’s lineup boasts solid firepower that there is nowhere to avoid. The problem is also the selection. In fact, Adam Plutko and Lim Chan-kyu were the only two players who played their part in the first half. Plutko played an active role this season with an ERA of 2.33 with 11 wins and 2 losses, and Chan-gyu Lim with an ERA of 3.35 with 6 wins, 2 losses and 1 hold.

On the other hand, first starter Casey Kelly did not show the dignity of first starter with 6 wins, 6 losses and ERA of 4.65. On top of that, the 4th and 5th starters didn’t get a spot so much that they took turns sorting out throughout the first half. Originally, LG planned to take the 3rd starting position for Kim Yun-sik and the 4th starting position for Lee Min-ho before the season. However, both of them broke away from the battle line as they could not find their own selves. For now, Kim Yun-sik is expected to return around mid-August.

There are many ways to reinforce the starting lineup, but first, there is a way to convert the existing bullpen resources into the starting lineup. LG has already implemented this proposal. It was the assignment of Lee Jung-yong to the 4th starting position. Lee Jeong-yong recorded 1 loss and 6.75 ERA without winning in 3 games as a starter. LG coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop said, “If you want a lot from Lee Jeong-yong, it’s greedy.” He eased the burden that much. Lee Jeong-yong will start a sortie against Suwon KT on the 27th.

Teams that have been on the rise lately have something in common. It’s just that the starting lineup is solid. In Doosan, which lost to Lotte the previous day (26th) after winning 11 consecutive wins, Alcantara (10-3, ERA 2.00) and Brandon (3-1, ERA 0.87) are enduring with the best foreign one-two punch. Here, Kwak Bin (8-3, ERA 2.44) is a third starter that is not envious of the first and second starters. Choi Won-jun (2-7, ERA 5.08) and Kim Dong-ju (2-4, ERA 3.11) are also doing their part. Doosan is the overwhelming No. 1 with an odds rate of 0.917 (11 wins and 1 loss) in July. LG will have a rivalry with Doosan and Jamsil this weekend.

Likewise, KT has a strong starting lineup. So Joon Sohn underwent elbow surgery and left early in the season, but Benjamin (10-3, ERA 3.83), Cuevas (3-0, ERA 3.47), Young-Pyo Ko (8-5, ERA 2.68), and Sang-Baek Eom (3-6, ERA 3.47) 3.71) and exclusion (3-6, ERA 4.32) are stable in the starting rotation. Since June, KT has ranked first in team win rate (0.658).

Another way to reinforce the starting lineup is through trade. Of course, the trade must match the opposing team’s cards. LG boasts a thicker layer of players than any other club. The Futures team also has players with a lot of potential. In particular, the 2nd draft will be revived after 4 years after the end of this season. Already in the industry, there is a prospect that LG will receive the most nominations in the second draft. An official from a club said, “As the number of protected players is reduced from 40 to 35, I think LG’s head will hurt the most among the 10 clubs. There are many good and young players like that.” thing,” he said. If leaks cannot be avoided during the second draft anyway, it may be desirable to recruit resources for ‘win now’ through trade. This year’s pennant race is important right now, but LG has to think about the short-term game of the postseason as well. What tricks will LG find to strengthen the starting lineup?
