flavum Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Stanton hit two tonight. 59 heading into the final weekend against the Braves in Miami. In the year of the juiced ball, a 60 homer season makes total sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I was one of a few very pro Albies voices when we thought he may be here in a trade. Slashline for first 54 games .281/.354/.443 with 5 hrs, 8 doubles and 5(!) triples. 36 Ks to 21 BBs. 7 of 8 stolen bases. Soxtalk slapped a Yolmer Sanchez label on him and couldn't see past it.

Part of the issue is Albies would have had to replace either Anderson or Moncada. I think the Sanchez comparison was a way of hand-waiving away the somewhat troublesome process that would be.

I think the Sanchez comparison was a way of hand-waiving away the somewhat troublesome process that would be. I heard for 2-3 years how Yolmer wouldn't stick at short because he had a weak arm, then we just put him at 3b and he's been awesome. All 3 of those guys can play "infield". Albies can play all 3. Moncada can play 2b/3b. If the cubs can make happ/zobrist/russell/baez/bryant work, we could have made them work. And while albies is not your typical power 3b, an infield of Moncada/Anderson/Albies would be unbelievably fast and athletic, and a very diverse set of hitters. It ultimately doesn't matter now. But with the draft next year we shouldn't shy away from MI because our current set-up. But more importantly, if there is a player i'd bet on to succeed, it's these 3 checkboxes: - Performs well at a young age - Good approach at plate - Plus defensive player (which likely means above average speed) Long term really don't think his power profile is that different than Anderson, who in juiced ball era is a 20 hr player.

Well there is a difference between a guy you draft that is years away and a guy you acquire via trade that is ready now. Also, Anderson and Moncada are not veterans. They need to play everyday and focus on fundamentals of their positions, not on the fundamentals of 2-3 different positions. If we were talking about acquiring Gleyber Torres, I am more inclined to try and make it work; for Albies, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the one who was big on the Carlos/Yolmer comparison, so I'll eat my crow on that. All the same, they likely would have given up Quintana for Albies, and I'm perfectly fine with Eloy.
