Guy will be awful in three years So he's just going to fall off a cliff at 34? Could happen but I don't know that and neither do you. The contract puts him right around 25th or so in the league for total value which is pretty close to in line with where his value has been as a player for the last 6 years. People have had it set in their mind that some of these big names were going to get a lot less than they're worth because most teams don't want to spend money but the Springer deal is far from a bad one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may give it a run to get their most optimal lineup the most ABs possible, but who knows how it'll play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basing his belief off of what usually happens in MLB The Show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox have the same DH overload issue. This is a good signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a little bit of an injury risk the last few seasons, nothing major or nagging but off and on to the IL, so that's one thing. But then again, moving him to RF is an option, moving him to DH to get additional value in the last couple seasons is also an option. And apparently, if you get him playoff at bats, he turns into Reggie Jackson, so... I'd rather have Springer at that contract than Eaton at his contract, with the other moves the White Sox made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I feel like Brantley is going to have a Carlos Beltran like aging. His profile is good for aging as a bat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably say 5a and 5b for Oakland and Minnesota. Oakland seems to be always in it despite me always wondering how they do it.
