Neither. Schwarber + Chapman/Ramirez combined will earn less over the next 2 years than Freeman and Votto's just too old to trade anything worthwhile.
This also doesn't require you pushing your best player to a different position full time.
Sounds like most are down to sign Schwarbar and trade for Chapman/Ramirez.
It totally seems like the logical move as Schwarber + Chapman/Ramirez combined will earn less over the next 2 years than Freeman.
Carlos has been right a few times so that's the only reason why anyone's pants are tingling. I'd get it if he never got any rumours right. He does seem pretty plugged in.
Now that I've let it sink in for 10 minutes... I would go nuts if we got Freeman. That lineup would be absolutely dangerous.
CF Springer
SS Bo
1B Freeman
3B Vlad
LF Teo
DH Gurriel
C Kirk
RF Grichuk
2B Biggio
No way... while his bat and defense is amazing... moving Vlad to 3B seems like a crazy move.
Our front office must have seen a lot from Vlad in the offseason to do this (if true).
Ya I get that. Deadpool was saying he'd be happy with the lineup he outlined while I said it would be disappointing considering the huge downgrade from Semien to Smith/Espinal.
I haven't posted all offseason so had no clue there were any restrictions on stuff like this but based on seeing the deleted posts, I guess I know now.
