Well - directly comparing them further - Schwarber has more home runs in 92 less games played over their careers.
They both have cases which can be made.
There’s a picture of an illustrated chicken for you to find in another thread. That said, I totally agree about the trade… but that horse has been beaten bloody already a few times over.
Patience. I really think he’s signing a 1 year deal. Look at all the guys in his mold who have bet on themselves and then got paid almost 10m more in AAV with more years.
Put yourself in the shoes of Conforto… he’s on a down year after being great for 5 of the previous 6 seasons. He’s 28 about to be 29.
Put yourself in the shoes of his agent. We all know he always wants to maximize his clients.
Take 5/100 now and become a free agent again at 34 years old…
Or take a pillow deal… hit the market again at 29 years old and potentially sign for 7/165.
185 > 100.
If you’re bored you could always watch Trevor Bauer cook cherry pie and take his car into the dealership for service. The big question is…
Will he get a tattoo???
About half do. I’m just saying that there’s plenty of things left that can be done and just because we’re not being the Texas Rangers with half a billion dollars… we should chill and see where things are in March.
If we’re even playing baseball by then.

I think this board shit their pants this week. Really think the only guy we may have been in on truly was Gausmann.
Other than that I think they’re intent on Conforto and Rodon. I’m more optimistic about his front office perception than most though.
