When the Giants acquired Tauchman, Robert was still healthy and Engel hadn‘t suffered yet another setback. I wouldn’t have minded him over Hamilton, but the assumption always was that Billy was a goner anyway when Engel comes back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could really put up his career 772 ops at age 30 and play above average defense in CF...but that second part is unlikely. You have to take your chances with Hamilton first being to put up a number in the 600s because of Vaughn and Eaton being so banged up and already 2-3 strides behind 2016 peak Eaton in the first place.

Of course I’m leaving out the part where he stunk it up with reds over 20 games. I guess this is better than hoping Nick Williams finds his 2017-2018 form. At least he was half decent as recently as last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 This guy literally is a body until a rebuilding team falls 10 games under and they make a trade. Only other options have so much baggage - Puig/Cespedes are so mercurial, and most teams are still within a realistic chance of a playoff spot. Williams, Gonzalez and Lamb all need to be far away from this roster, and this is the start to that. How is this a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, OK if in Charlotte. Would gut it out with Garcia and Hamilton until Engel returns if they can't get an actual Major League player. The problem is Tony clings to his veterans, and if Goodwin has a good game or two can stick in the lineup over much better options. Jake Lamb and Leury Garcia have Tony'd their way into regular playing time, before the Robert injury. If the Sox had a decent 21st century manager, I wouldn't have concerns or even care about this signing.

Grandal isn't doing that right now though. He's been bad at the plate AND behind the plate. Being horrendous behind the plate as a catcher will result in fans getting pissed. Gallo at least gives you above average defense in the corner OF. Not enough sample size in CF yet. Edited May 4, 2021 by ron883 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Goodwin is a body, but at least we got a body in 24 hours. I'm sure Hahn has already had calls in on a lot of these guys going back to the Eloy injury. So at least there's a heads up on a list. Not all LF will necessarily transfer to the CF list, but I'm sure he's already had initial discussions on a number of targets. Polanco, or someone on the Cubs would make the most sense to me.

Unless we've somehow found a really good player for RF, I don't see much use in acquiring a player who can't cover CF for a while. Polanco's had 5 starts at CF in his whole career.

I have zero interest in Gallo, especially when you consider the price (I’m assuming several good prospects, not a bag of balls like the Mazara trade).
