Maybin has a World Series Ring which is important. Maybin is a decent hitter. Maybin will be 33 in April.
Engel is a better fielder and really good late inning replacement in the field. Engel's hitting up to this point is way below average. Engel just turned 28 years old.
I'd keep Engel. His hustle and defense are more of what we need and he is younger than Maybin. The video of Maybin watching a HR that fell short instead of hustling around the bases makes me want the guy that hustles every play, like Aaron Rowand, and that is Engel.
We are HOT!!!!
I knew Cishek was good watching him on the Cubs, but looking at his numbers he has only two season with an ERA over 3.00 (3.17in 2014 & 3.58 in 2015). Thats super impressive and if continued, even worthy of HOF votes.
Every good decision requires a sacrifice of some good for another good. So you all are saying you would rather have better fielding than the HR and doubles? ok, im cool wit that.
Sign Castellanos and put him in Center and witness a poor fielding outfiled of Jiminez, Castellanos, and Mazara but will take it because your going to get 120 doubles, and over 100 HR's. Just have Engel ready for late innings.
You may be right when considering 18 year olds k to walk, but once a player gets in 20's the k to w you see in the minors usually carries over to the majors. And a 5 to 1 k to walk rate is not a hitter I'm interested in, or if I am he better hit with the average of Tim Anderson.
