Elite defender IKF played 140+ games in 2021 and 2022 almost exclusively at SS and amassed 1.6 and 1.5 WAR. Over 500 AB’s each season
He’s basically the threshold for the absolute lowest acceptable starter. If everything breaks right he *might* be a 2 WAR player
He might be worth 0.5 too. There’s like zero upside
You have to think about it if you’re out of it for sure. 1.5 years will net you so much more than one season and you could turn things around pretty quick dealing those guys
I’m guessing but I’d say they’re the first team in the second worst tier of farm systems, and closer to the worst farm than average
There’s just no impact guys to dream on outside of Tiedemann. Arjun probably next in line in terms of ceiling
I don’t think it’s that bad. Apparently Joey Ortiz hits the ball hard and they can mold DL Hall for one year of Burnes
Adames to the Dodgers any second now
Right handers don’t have the same platoon split issues because they see 90% righties their whole life. Lefties might another lefty 10% of the time if that
Righty heavy lineups can be susceptible to really good right handers. Pretty sure we saw that lots in 2022
