What does Bautista make on a 1-year contract? like 18M? And then the lost comp pick is worth like 10M. I'm not into a ~30M investment in one year of Bautista.
Guy has a 115 wRC+ over the last three years, and given that he plays an acceptable 3B, would probably grade out as plus at 1B. That's a good, versatile player, and he's expected to make like 2/20.
Yeah. If it was just the injuries, or just the mediocre performance, or just the fact that he's a garbage person, he'd be an attractive asset. The fact that it's all 3 is just infuriating. Between the hamstring injuries and being a complete POS, he almost never plays. And when he does play, he's a 0.325 wOBA guy now anyway.
It's no coincidence that the two people most vocally critical of this trade went into the 2016 season relying on him in a dynasty league. Never again. That clown will be out of baseball soon.
The last time I had an ace with fantastic mechanics and perceived low injury risk he put up a 4.5 ERA and his shoulder exploded. Actually there are a lot of similarities between the two. Hopefully Hendricks has a better follow up to his breakout season than Keuchel.
Reminder that I want to sell a SP (probably not Rodon, but one of Gonzalez, Odorizzi, Chen, Wright, Kennedy, Gsellman, Cotton) for a 1B, 2B, or 3B. Willing to add picks/prospects/relievers for the right deal.
So you're declining my offer then?
I think I have vanilla king Kole Calhoun to show for Montas after we finished passing Gattis around, so I'm OK with it.
