I'm not that upset but they probably didn't think they'd have to lose him a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Just now, HOFHurt35 said: Potential .800 OPS bat has no value for crappy teams like the A's, Orioles, Pirates, and Reds? I've seen shittier prospects exchanged this offseason. No options, low batting average/ OBP, 35% K rate, and not much AAA experience.

bmags Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 literally nobody all offseason that I can remember discussed ADOLFO (edited) as a remotely suitable option for us in RF but think there are like 10 teams that would jump on him to be a starting outfielder. He has power for sure, he has poor contact and swings at a lot. The value of those guys has cratered. I hope he lands back here for sure, because you can see it all being put together, but as hard as it is to believe a lot of orgs have guys like this.

WilliamTell Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 It's just one thing after another with this guy. After this year and last year, I'm so tired of these injuries right before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 This is not season ending, obviously. But Yoan's ability to stay healthy and productive is quite depressing to me. Especially with $41 million owed to him for 2023 and 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 13 minutes ago, bmags said: VV & Keuchel are the only issue in that list for me. The rest is just the nature of bullpens. Red sox rode a rule 5 pick and a yankee castoff and made a hell of a bullpen last year. They could all explode, but ruiz/crick/sousa/banks could easily find some really strong MR roles there because pitching is wild. Both of them are fine for a number 5 starter who would get skipped occasionally and be the long relief swing man at others. Unfortunately one of then will need to be the number 4 and in the regular rotation until Lynn returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
