    agree, but i think we also have to realize Marwin is not what he used to be anymore, thus by letting him hit the market.

    I just read this thread and it's funny to see the progression from beginning to the end.

    Diaz’s slugging % is creeping up towards Marwins OPS this year...

    He deserved some criticism for how he started out just like he deserves recognition for how he has turned things around.

    Diaz. At this point he’s the better player. Better defender (especially at SS/2B), equal power, a lot fewer strikeouts. I will always love Marwin, but even ignoring the financial aspect, this tradeoff was a good move.

    My guess... Diaz is our starting short stop in 2022. He's under team control an extra year after Correa's last year of arbitration in 2021.

    Maybe, but a lot can change.

    I don't really like Diaz' glove at SS for 150 games.

    Guess which one has the higher rWAR?

    Their fWAR is the same.

    Those are counting stats, right? Guess who has few at bats?

    fWAR is a cumulative stat. Marwin’s 0.3 came over 140 PA, Diaz’s over 86 PA.

    They both are, but Marwin's playing much better than early on offensively.
