We aren’t even in the back half hombre.

 

I didn't say we were. Just rationalizing the length of the deal.

A forward thinking FO would have been shopping Springer last off-season asking a team to take Springer plus a C prospect, if that’s what it took, off their hands. Now Toronto has three more years of this.

 

You could argue a forward-thinking front office wouldn’t have signed him in the first place…

 

However I don’t think he’s “done”. He’s had down years before. He’ll bounce back next year

Kirk just strike out… what good does a garbage grounder do

 

He needs to literally start swinging harder

I get that. My point is it’s “problematic” already.

 

I think you need to wait and see what he does next year before saying the contract is problematic. Guys can have down years. Uncertain yet if this is just an off year or an age decline

That’s fair. Agree. Given his age and the way he has looked this year when healthy, it’s concerning.

Not really when you look deeper.

Avg EV 30th percentile. Hard hit 50th. There are some underlying stats that do look better.

He’ll be 35 next year. I could be wrong but I don’t think he’s come this close to average offensive production in his previous “down” years. I would say chances are good this is who he is and only going to get worse. Smart people would know more I guess.

 

Springer's age is deceiving. Technically he's 33 right now but with a birthdate in September he will indeed essentially be 35 next year. I take it back, we're screwed.:P
