I am going to start off by saying i am a huge Votto fan.... maybe the maple leaf sways be a bit but i think he is the best hitter in the league if not one of the best.... I don't know if he f***ed Russos wife but the guy just spews s*** against him i have never stand to listen to him.
This is the thing about Buck. I love him as a color guy. In the playoffs when he get the color gig and is paired with a decent play by play guy(vasgersian) I love him. He is not in the right setup to do what he is doing with the jays. Can Tabby and slide Buck into the color spot and find someone else to do the play by play.
Pillar bobblehead day is set no reason to trade him lol. Although his body i think would not age as well as other seeing as he has been beat up on turf the last few years so it might be time to sell off
Leon is the one that hurts to loose but i am with BTS that i don't have much value on Greene(I could be wrong and knowing i agree with BTS i likely am) but I think he could be 2.5WAR player for us.
I just think in the last 2 years with how more and more team have analytics departments and are relying on them. Its going to hurt guys that are basically all power guys no defensive value and strike out a lot. I don't see a lot of difference between him Chris Davis, and Trumbo. If that power ever dips and i have a feeling it will he is going to be a sunken cost.
My wife went to Miami and she brought me back a Marlins hat because i am a lover of all baseball hats.... However i may have to hang that one up for a few years lol
Doesn't matter we can't rely on Travis or Tulo to give us a full season. We need someone who can alleviate duties and play if and when they go down. It might mean giving them a couple more days off a week or something like that.
I am not sure with the options out there (Moose, Machado, Longo) that you can get the return that we could if there was only a couple options though. My concern is that if we are asking too much they will just got a different avenue.
Honestly if you do that it makes no sense. If your signing Darvish you are looking to compete. Then your trading away your top bat..... It makes no sense as an organization to do that.
