The most interesting thing about Puig is that some people (JFaS) are comfortable saying that he outright suxxxxx. Everyone knows about the red flags, but there's enough there in his performance and obvious raw talent that I have a hard time believing that there are numbers so damning that someone can authoritatively state that he's not a good player.
Young, cheap, controllable, IIRC decent possession numbers, a demonstrated ability to score goals, and has been great in the shootout. I know he's hurt, but this doesn't make any sense. 28 teams refused to offer a 5th?
- Marco Estrada makes 32 starts and carries an ERA under 3.75
- Aaron Sanchez pitches 60+ games in relief with an ERA in the low 3s
- Gavin Floyd makes at least 10 effective starts
- Tulo hovers around league average offensively and spends significant time on the IR
- Edwin signs a reasonable 4 year contract before the end of the season
