Thing about Puig is, he's honestly just not that good. His upside is like .370 OBP, 20 HR. Meh. So many injuries and sideshows, not enough category juice. Would not own again.
Guys who throw sub-90 walk the razor's edge to be effective, this has been shown time and time again. Hendricks benefited from incredible defense and BABIP, there is very little chance he can repeat his 2016 success.
It basically boils down to this for me: great hitting young shortstops are the most valuable dynasty asset you can get. You traded arguably the best one for a pitcher who throws 88 and an outfielder who got demoted to AAA this year. Outside from Mike Trout, Correa is arguably the #2 dynasty hitter in baseball. I just can't comprehend trading that player from a team in your position. I hope you didn't get hosed, I really do. I think you bought high on Hendricks and will soon be filled with deep remorse.
Anyway this is what Boxy got for Meadows + Matz (via Wainwright):
Jason Hammel, Ben Revere, Brandon Drury, Preston Tucker, Rubby De La Rosa
Boxy plz stop trading your good prospects away.
I mostly put his name out there because there seems to be strong market demand for SP. He's not a guy I would sell just to get off the wagon; as a rule I don't sell low.
That would only be true if I accepted a low return for him. I still consider him an SP2 with ace upside, he has a long track record of HOF stats and he's only 30. I expect I'll have to keep him until he recoups value.
