People seem ready to turn on Karinchak, but Rosario really hasn't taken much heat for his play (because he's been solid). Myles Straw will likely continue to get the brunt of the public dismay if I had to guess. Josh Bell might draw some ire as well.
wouldnt the trade give us an open roster spot to acquire shaw?
My dark horse answer?
I feel ya….Josey is just not god-like, but plenty good enough to cast aspersions upon when he doesn’t come through. Perfect really…
So far it's Bell, with Zunino cued up once his bat cools off.
I'm not a fan, but I know he isn't going anywhere and he's obviously hitting much better than last season. The reason I'm not a fan has as much to do with the construction of this lineup as it does with Myles' hitting profile. Getting through the playoffs with very little power is just not historically likely. I would be much happier if Myles was the 4th OFer/late inning defensive replacement/pinch runner. That's just my opinion and nothing more.Who is dismayed about Myles Straw??? Give me names!
I know I said all 3 of those things and it's a travesty IMO that he is still here bobbling balls at SS and starting the season slow again. I find it absolutely funny that someone like CATS that ranted and defended Straw in his horrible offensive 22 season due to his superior defense, but won't acknowledge the superior defense of someone like Arias over Rosario. If he were consistent in his takes he would be pining for Arias at SS. That's how you know who's full of shit around here.It's because it never happened. Most people said that it's likely Rosario got moved because...
The only "ridicule" I remember off the top of my head was when people were discussing the whole package of Amed Rosario--like how his incredibly low walk rate, his lack of power, and his tendency to ground into double plays hold back a pretty good hitter, and how his performance in the field, specifically his range, was less than what you'd expect from such a gifted athlete... and then a certain poster would chime in "BUT HE HAS A LOT OF HITS!!!"
- We have a group of young, talented middle infielders champing at the bit to play in the big leagues.
- Amed isn't anything special, so it isn't going to make sense to pay him tens of millions of dollars when you have potentially more talented players sitting behind him with six years of team control available
- The Guardians have a history of trading veteran players before their contract runs out
In truth, I knew your particular position -- though I do not share that particular opinion, your reasoning is clear and well defined in the above!
The real question is has Rcristal stopped by here yet
