HOFHurt35 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This better be a Machado Caddie request. I'd much rather take my lumps with either Cordell /Engel in another lost season if no Machado. Hell, go get Denard Span if we desperately need a 1 year stopgap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very meh player. I can't image there's a market for him whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's significantly better options out there. I'm not critical point upset -- if we get Manny, I'll see how the roster plays out, but i'm worried that moves like this puts us out on other potential FA's.

Seems like he’s a 4th OF at this point and wouldn’t command much money. I bet he would simply take Engel or Leury’s spot on the roster.

Whom exactly, other than Pollock, is a better FA option that is a legit CF? We’ll wait for the list.

soxfan49 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 WSD posted a blog about the signing but unfortunately there was no juicy info in it; all he said was all that's left is Hahn handing Machado a blank check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we are still in on Harper or even someone like Pollock in addition to Machado... I'm fine, -- whatever -- add all of Machado's friends who just happen to be poor ball players. I'm not saying this is a game breaking roster move of course, I'm just saying I don't like the move and don't see the point in it outside of signing Machado.

When talking about a player like Jon Jay you could probably trade for a better CF and cost us next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I have a soft spot for Jon Jay, as he provided me with many RBI opportunities in MLB: The Show 2010 while he and my create-a-player were in the Cardinals farm system. Based on this, we must sign him. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
