Are we allowed to post $$$ content? I have a sub and pay for it. I would be a little cheesed if someone posted what I pay for. That may make me out to be a dick, though. Oh well.
FYI, I have signed up for The Athletic three boxing days in a row for 70% off each time. It is worth it.
I would never bat Villar 9th. 7th seems right.
I would honestly be open to batting Shaw last.
Panik, Espinal, players like that should get the least amount of bats. Batting 9th or riding the pine accomplishes that.
Yeah, he's a good defensive second string catcher. I don't think any FO this off season figured he was the next coming and wanted to trade for him based on that MLB SSS.
No all star gets, but a lot of solid gets that will incrementally improve everything. And once everyone is healthy, we have a great bench. Buh-bye Drury and Panik.
You get into the $M/WAR at that point. We can give up prospects and back fill with free agents because this FO is loaded, willing to spend when required, and has a minimal payroll after 2020.
I would like us to get rid of Shaw, and trade for Evan Longoria. Better defensively, can still hit very well, and of course that veteran presence that is almost totally lacking. I would bat him 3rd.
I 100% agree. The team up has to keep playing hard. If the team down doesn't want to play anymore, f***ing forfeit and walk off the field.
I also agree on the SB thing. If it is a blow out, I wouldn't push it. But swinging hard on a 3-0? WTF?
