I think the defense thing is a little over blown. I'd also rather have a team that rakes then a bunch of Yolmers. Dude won a GG and might get non-tendered because he can't hit. Watched Castellanos play defense for the Cubs and he wasn’t good, but not nearly as bad as I hoped he would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I watched a lot too. I never saw him do anything that made me think he was some awful liability. His offensive numbers would be closer to what he did with the Cubs than Detroit as well since that park is dog shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last three years, he's graded out as the third worst defensive player in major league baseball. I'm not saying that metric is 10000% accurate but I tend to think it means he's likely really horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One school of thought states that charger plates are meant simply to act as placeholders until the actual china plates are brought to the table. wat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just looking for above average core players for the next 2-3 years. Castellanos and Wheeler are my favorites with JDM not an option.

caulfield12 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I would be willing to go with Gregorious as well...just because he gives you so much more positional versatility than either Castellanos or Encarnacion. I'm at the point where Wheeler, Grandal, Castellanos/Moustakas/Gregorious, cheap fill-in RF for one year and one more reliever is the VERY best that could be hoped for. Reality is probably that we only get ONE of those four hitters...the cheap RF fill-in, and a veteran who has been around the block in the Albers/Soria mode for the bullpen. That's where we are left scrambling between guys like Dozier, Schoop, Kendrick, Gennett, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) I feel bad for saying this because many of you are excited, but we aren't getting Grandal. There will be 6 teams fighting for him and we probably won't be one of them. The reason many of us wanted JDM is because he is a great hitter who had essentially zero options but us. I think we go from JDM to Edwin. Nick Castellanos is just too bad defensively. Edited November 5, 2019 by SonofaRoache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
