LOL. He's clearly a flawed player, we werent getting a star with Grichuk.
But the tools seem to be there if he can figure it out. Seems like a low risk, high-reward project.
Versus Grichuk, seems like a worthy bet.
Tapia's numbes batting numbers dont look awful. Sure he doesnt hit for power but the other numbers look not awful?
He's hit .271, .321, and .275 the last three years? That's a heck of a lot better than most folks on our team.
Admittedly, Im just getting into baseball but I must be missing something.
TSN reporting 6/125 - if true, hopefully that puts some of the doubters at ease.

Pro sports are multi-billion dollar industries, with millions to owners, players, coaches, teams, leagues, networks, gambling etc. - all prospering off the product. How is anyone shocked this is happening in baseball and EVERY other sport.
The fairweather fans would revolt if we traded EE. He's playing out of his mind and it doesnt look impossible for him to perform like this for at least 3 out of a 4 year deal.
