Looked like he couldn’t put weight on his ankle after his delivery without pain. I’m no expert here, but it certainly looked like an ankle injury from my untrained eye.
He’s dominated like crazy since we drafted him. Does anyone know what kind of stuff he has? I’m assuming he’s a soft tosser just based on his age & draft position, but I’ve seen nothing specific on that end.
Like I said a couple days ago, with Machado, Joc, and a legit SP (instead of Santana) this team could have made a run at this shitty divison. Unfortunately that didn’t happen and we just have too many holes to realistically land a playoff spot.
Oh I don’t disagree and have liked what I’ve seen out of Alonso, but your post made it seem like he’s some positive BABIP regression away from like a 150 wRC+ season.
Isn’t 2020 a team option if he doesn’t reach the 550 plate appearance threshold? If so, there’s no reason to let it automatically gets. He’s more valuable to us and other teams if 2020 is not guaranteed.
