Nah I think you’re spot on here. I can’t think of a team that won because a player had amazing defense throughout the playoffs. It’s not going to come close to the impact Vlad had for Toronto last year or Adolis Garcia for the Rangers during their run.
Decent value there; I felt like O’Hearn would have been a really good fit for Houston’s lineup. But I’m hopeful Jesus Sanchez can be as good if Houston hangs on to him.
Yep, my take is depth and starting pitching wins divisions, hot power hitters, aces, and hot RP win playoff games.
The longer the offseason goes on showing the prices for everything, the more I am convinced that Sanchez is staying and there will be a ton of platooning in the OF. I was happy when the Astros got him and he has a proven track record vs RHP. Gotta have hope, even if I don't have faith.
