OmarComing25 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 To those mentioning his contract even if Anderson completely busts it's not like his contract will be a problem, a minor inconvenience at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Really hope Holland, Gonzalez and Shields (realistically 2/3) can keep this up into early June. Holland, in particular, if he can stay healthy. Heck, for the price the majority of potential playoff teams will favor him over Quintana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's possible for Holland to pitch well enough for teams to actually trust starting him in a playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think *at best* he could be seen as a depth piece for a possible contender. But I don't see any team holding off on trading for Q because they can get Derek Holland (obviously for significantly less, but still) instead.

Jack Parkman Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:06 PM) Good you didn't see Moncada's stint in Boston last year. Besides his hitting, with his bad defense and mental errors you would have wanted him put on waivers. Moncada clearly wasn't ready, and was 21 years old with ~100 AB at the AA level. Anderson is different, He's got 400+ ML AB. I said he has to change his approach. I was criticizing his approach, not him as a player. He's fine as a defensive player and sure he could turn it around. I was going on the combo of stats+eye test. He looks awful at the plate. Sometimes I don't communicate what I want to clearly.

Understood. But remember in those 400 ML AB he hit .282. For a shortstop that is above average. Guys have slumps. Judging anything on 7 games is not realistic especially for players going from 80 degrees to 50 degrees. Some players struggle with that alone.
