Jack Parkman Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I like Abreu, but Moncada is the type of player that you say this about, not Abreu. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada is one of those talents you just can't let walk though. If Frank Thomas played a GG 1B do you think he would have stuck around as long as he did? It seems like as the years go on JR is doing more and more of a Scrooge McDuck impression. Edited August 21, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After KW cried poor saying the money will be needed for in house talent instead of Machado, they better not fuck this up and resign him Edited August 21, 2019 by TheTruth05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I am totally cool with Abreu sticking around, but for the love of Jesus do not over pay the man. 2 years $18M-20M with a $10M team option for a third year is the MAX he should be getting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Well of course JR did. Join the lifetime contract ranks with Hahn, KW, Cooper and apparently Ricky Renteria. And if Hahn has anything to say about it, Hostetler and Haber too. And as much as Stone is playing house-horse these days, he's probably close too.

I don't want him back at all (only because of how Renteria will handle him) but for a year... it's fine. Anything past two and it's a terrible deal.

ron883 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Seems like a wierd thing to guarantee. I'd be disappointed if they overpay for him while cheaping out elsewhere per usual. No need to make guarantees that cause you to lose leverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm implying that JR might not have paid Frank fair value if he wasn't a horrible 1B and actually had defensive value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone make a comment on Facebook that Ricky is the weak-link of the rebuild (who really expects him here long-term though?). That honor may very well go to their owner.

What defensive value did he need to add to his profile that was 1st ballot hof'er. That's as valuable as a player can get really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
