More than anything, he is a victim of a farm system loaded with middle IF prospects that are ready to get a chance. Should you commit $12 million or more a year to a good player at the position when you could likely get a decent substitute or maybe an upgrade for a fraction of the cost?
Not at all….at the same time he adds value to this team, and I suspect it’s more than the statistical replacement value. That’s my only point.
I must have missed something. Who has denigrated Amed?
The question is in the word 'likely', quoted above.
About a week ago, I broke down and bought a PD and Terry Pluto wrote a long article on this coming baseball season. He brought up his interview with Bob Cerfolio, Director of player personnel that he had prior to the start of the 22 season. Pluto asked him who could we count on to help this team the most in the very near future. Kwan, OGon, Bo Naylor, Valera, Benson, Espino, Williams, N Jones??? Any of those? Nope. He named just 2 players that were can't miss. And this was prior to the 22 season. Will Brennan and Tanner Bibee.
Not going to be doing contract extensions with TMac for a while.. maybe next offseason
I disagree. The injury could make TMac more agreeable to a team friendly deal put forward pre-injury.
he's 27... two weeks younger than Bieber...
Ahem
