How is that a recipe for disaster? There are like 30 viable free agent starters.
Stroman
FA
Dickey
FA
Hutchison/Hendriks/Osuna
Either Estrada is one of the FA starters, or he's not and the team gets a comp pick. Either works.
AA got a miraculous once in a career gift from the baseball gods twice in a span of two years. We might never see anything like that again on this team.
Are these voted on after the playoffs? I'd love to hear someone try to justify Morales over Edwin. I can't think of anything that would be even remotely defensible.
Edwin wins
OBP, SLG, wOBA, wRC+, HR, R, RBI, SB
Morales wins
AVG
This is one of the most egregious votes in recent memory. Not justifiable via traditional or saber stats.
Man, Kuma would be the perfect piece to round out the staff. Will likely earn around 15M per season on a short term deal, and is s borderline ace when healthy. I'm sure he stays in Seattle, but he'd be such a good fit.
Someone made the mistake of starting a thread about Estrada being close to a 2-year extension in case people weren't checking on on the week-old thread about the merits of his QO.
