Mannys offer was a sham. He would have never reached the incentives and the Sox could have limited his PT the last 3 years to make sure there was no vesting. I wouldn't be surprised if JR called Wheeler and told him the importance of family and making the best decision for your family. It's always about appearing to be at the table.
Class will be a rookie and an unknown. Robert has to actually hit for consistent power first before it becomes a given. Those three would be last in baseball in terms of power outlook.
I like this. But now we have unhappy Eloy DHing. He always said he would not be happy in that role. Can he adjust to that mindset and be mentally prepared to just hit?
At the position he plays I'd like more power. You may be correct about the field being a factor, but we've seen this story too many times. We always get the worst end of production from our signings.
Does this mean we are trading Eloy or DHing him? And I like Benintendi, but that lack of power is scary. If his OBP slips even a little, we are looking at a newer version of Engel.
Jerry is a terrible owner but Hahn sucks on his own accord. He doesn't understand lineup balance, roster construction, how to draft, and couldn't convince a sex addict to watch free porn.
If you aren't going to spend money with the big boys then you need to rebuild again. The only shot we have for sustained success is if almost all of our young guys reach their full potential. If too many don't, then we are screwed.
I said it a few weeks ago and will say it again. The Cubs are gonna pass us this offseason. This organization is a complete joke and I wish there was something the fans could do about it.
