chw42 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 The fact that DeJong had a higher wRC+ than TA after DeJong went 12 for 93 after being traded is...telling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 https://www.fangraphs.com/players/paul-dejong/18015/stats?position=SS AVERAGING a 0.5 fWAR over the FOUR previous seasons. Guess you could round up to 0.6 or 0.7 because of limited Covid year opportunities. Middle infielders reaching or approaching the wrong side of 30. He is what it says on the back of his baseball card. Below-average veteran. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 7 hours ago, Sleepy Harold said: At least he played solid defense in the past Yeah. Guys there isn’t a single offensive upgrade, but DeJong is a strong defender. And he’s tall. May be a good influence for uh…a tall SS coming up. but also he’ll be like barely a $3M deal. If you were worried about quixotic spending to doom this should alleviate you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 How can you rationalize signing BOTH DeJong and Lopez and not giving Sosa or Rodriguez a shot at at least one of the spots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 It's a guess, but a good one. When you need 2 or 3 middle infielders and are desperate to improve you defense... that doesn't leave many options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t they have a shot? DeJong isn’t going to earn much more than minor league signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the s%*# they got, it feels like Robin and Ricky were the only two managers in recent memory that were chill with rookies. The big, big exceptions for Ozzie being Jenks and Beckham.

Viciedo really had issues....same with Brian Anderson. Rowand/Crede 2-3 years to get established. Avisail Garcia bounced so many directions after promising debut in Detroit.

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 You’re stopgap until Monty is ready. At least he plays solid defense. Sad thing is his production would be a huge upgrade compared to the shitshow we watched last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
