I agree. Don't spend a ton on the guy who should be your 9th best hitter. It's ok to have .240 with a .330 ob% if you're spending that elsewhere..
You would have said the same thing at shortstop a year ago. Korey Lee is an offensive catcher. Last year was the first time he didn't hit .260 or...
You take the chance with him in mind going into spring... if medicals don't check out you just trade for a platoon pair with McCormick....
I don't think it's necessarily that. Why gamble on youth if you're playing to win now? They got lucky with Pena.
So just ignore zone rating and fielding %? Picking and choosing your metrics to fit your opinion?
Uh that's not true. Baker was gone the year before he made his major league debut. Maybe in ST? He was a AA catcher at the time so I'm not sure...
Could also be looking at Rylan Bannon depending on how he does in ST...
I'm not sure how you get enough sample size to know how the pitching does without him relative to with him. Not sure those figures are that...
Can we just stop the Maldonado bashing? Everyone knows he's a terrible hitter... His defense and game management is subject for debate. The...
You're talking about qualitative data that can still be a factor. I tend to lean on those with direct observations....
Brantley is still hitting righties well and McCormick lefties... ideal platoon...
If they sign another outfielder they will be 8 deep. Hardly a disaster.. also a good bet for 20+ homers from the position. Choosing to...
Korey Lee is 23. He's a year more advanced than Contreras at the same age. You prefer to drop him to AA to pad some stats and feel better about...
"Rated". Gullo Toyota is rated #1 in Texas... I'll tell you what, since money doesn't matter let's just give Contreras 50 million a year and...
I think there's an over reliance on stats. They are important but there's a lot behind the scenes we don't see.
I think the Giants swoop in on Correa now... the chance to run him out there against the Dodgers is too enticing... Huge disappointment if they...
That may be true, but if the champs are calling and asking you to take 5 million to pitch 50 innings and be starter insurance maybe you...
Honestly, if we roll with this, i would be thrilled... 2B Altuve (R) CF Nimmo (L) 3B Bregman (R) DH Alvarez (L) 1B Abreu (R) RF Tucker (L) SS...
Yankees going about 100 million on Judge, Cole, and Stanton.... Yikes...
Yankees saying let's run it back so we can lose in the playoffs and delay our rebuild one more year...
