I wish we could have gotten him to be honest... He has great AAA numbers just hasn't translated yet in the bigs...

What do you have against him?

What do you have against him?

every number he's put up since his first year has gone down.. and continues. 290 ===> 270 ====> 240 ===> 210 over the last four years.. He's now a well below replacement level offense player and nothing special defensive player.. Wasting a roster spot for a guy like that isn't what is needed.. and you should agree with that assessment..

you're an assho...

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

Where the fuck would that guy even play?

How is being 100% honest being an a hole? Lol @Tondo talked about Solak in a different thread if you want to know. It's not hard to actually go read something rather than call someone an a hole for saying the truth...

Where the fuck would that guy even play?

At the moment, he would have been at AAA and an insurance policy...

His AAA numbers are .293/.370/.510 in 194 games. Plays mostly 2B and LF but has time at CF and 3B with a few innings at 1B and RF...

So essentially he would be an injury insurance and/or the last guy on the bench in 23...

So, in an org where we already have a backlog of players who can't get playing time at the upper level, you wanted to add one more who wasn't good enough to cut it elsewhere?

Color me less than bothered that he landed elsewhere.
