bmags Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 After 44 games he has 0.3 fWAR, behind Luis Robert, Paul DeJong, and tied with Yoan Moncada. He has a 99 wRC+, which would ALSO be tied for 2nd best behind Pham and tied with Robert. It would be third best if you include Moncadas limited ABs. This is both a sign of how embarrassing this team is (only 1 player is slightly above average on offense), but also I'm just pointing out how absolutely silly it is to have a roster this bad. Teams routinely can find guys on the margins who perform better than what we have collected. Any GM worth a damn can scout and scrape along to find bullpens and offenses better than this. For example, Deyvison De Los Santos was rule 5 drafted by the cleveland guardians, then didn't make the team. He passed through waivers and went back to the Diamondbacks, where he hit 14 home runs as a 21 year old in AAA. The perfect guy to have space for in this dumb org. He was just traded as the main piece for AJ Puk. DiPoto found two decent bullpen pieces from waivers in Snider and Voth this offseason. Bailey Horn, whom we sold, has been bad but better than many of the options we kept playing. Nationals get Eduardo Salazer from waivers in June. The Nats spent a total of 3.5M, nicky lopez roster spot, on Derek Law and Dylan Floro who have been awesome. Add that to a Brebbia and it's a not embarrassing bullpen that allows the young SP to flourish. Instead we made sure we had roster spots on the 40 for chuckie robinson, nicky lopez, ...f*** I'm not even going to list allt he trash that they wasted time on. Just as a summary that you'd expect from a team that is only going to win 30 games: They don't know who is good in their org and they don't know who is good outside their org. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 The moves Getz made on the margins of the roster and the decision to give a guy like Sheets another 600 PA, many of those in RF, suggest a guy that in completely over his head and that has no real plan other than throw s%*# at the wall and hope it works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
