Eder getting the call is an interesting response to the Burger game winning home run.
DeJong at 3B is also interesting. Wonder who they're showcasing him for.
Ok so they don't trade him at the deadline and he gets hurt in August and misses 6 weeks. They won't get fair value for him during the off season so they wait until next years deadline and then he gets hurt again in April and misses another month. When does it end? Do they just keep kicking the can down the road? He's healthy now and there's a good market for him. I think they have to move him because every time he gets hurt his value will decrease.
See I think that's bullshit. You don't know what his coaches were telling him (or maybe some do). He was intentionally walked 30 times. His coaches may have told him you're a big strong dude swinging a metal bat hitting a juiced ball. If they throw you anything near the strike zone be aggressive and swing at it. It's a common thing college coaches tell their power hitters.
I agree. If they don't trade him now and he gets hurt again before the end of the season (which is likely to happen) it will be almost impossible to get fair value for him during the off season. He's healthy now so trade him for a good offer and move on.
