It's a valid talking point, but I would like this thread to discuss the on the field implications of the vaccine policies rather than the validity of the policies themselves.
To be clear, I'm not saying that this opinion was well supported or something that I agreed with.
That being said, some people on this forum, in the media, and elsewhere believed that Biggio was the best of the three. This isn't something that I'm fabricating.
There's absolutely no way that both didn't play a role in his season. He was wincing in pain on throws to first base early in the season and never got back to his normal self. Just one year ago, many were saying he was the best of the legacy trio.
The 1912-14 Philadelphia Athletics infield of Stuffy McInnis, Eddie Collins, Jack Barry, and Home Run Baker amassed 79.3 WAR over that span, which is roughly 7 WAR per player, per season.
Should we look to the trade market for a left handed bench bat? Tyler Naquin seems like an interesting and cheap option. Dominic Smith is also being shopped by the Mets and could be a good fit.
