We are all fans of Bautista, despite his nuances, and would rather see him go out with a bang or at least a buzz, rather then a flatline. He did so much for Blue Jays baseball when all seemed to be lost...
Cashner's K rate dropped off a cliff last year... this year is our last chance to compete for a WC spot for probably a LONG time... I'd rather not take a flyer on Trashner.
Project it over 600 PA. He's good for 30 HR. But he strikes out a f***-ton and his BB-rate is nearly Pillar territory.
Again, project over 600 PA. He's averaged 3.2 WAR/600 PA over the last 3 seasons but 2015 might have been the outlier.
Confirmed.
Why have only 6 qualified OFers when you can have 7.
Pedroia is a little panzy... arguing a more than likely third strike just because he couldn't pull the trigger... I'm guessing he can't get off with his wife either, or perhaps she doesn't have a thing for rats.
