The shiny new guy pounding A ball is more exciting than the guy trying to make the shift to the big leagues. Aside from Mike Trout, everyone has to adjust to the big leagues and that's their lowest value - when they're adjusting.

November 14, 20178 yr There's no room for regular at bats for veterans unless they deal Abreu and avi.

I would imagine if there was a spot and he was dirt cheap, they would have no problem bringing him back. But they aren't going to pay him even what they paid Holland last year.
November 14, 20178 yr If Garcia was traded they might want someone like him to supply fresh needles cover RF for a month until the thing in the minors takes over the role.

Does Jonathan Lucroy make sense here? https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/930868813423407104 I LOVE the idea of Lucroy. I really, really don't see the downside if he's willing to come here. Personally, I'd even give him 3 years with a 4th year mutual option. Take the annual price down a bit and give yourself a solid veteran game caller, bat, and clubhouse guy. Think the upside is too great to not look into. Think about 2 years ago - ppl were talking $100mm salary for him. Sign me up. He can either be a nice flip candidate or he can man 100 games behind the plate and 20 more at DH.

He can either be a nice flip candidate or he can man 100 games behind the plate and 20 more at DH. I seriously wonder if Lucroy will want a 3-4 year deal. If he does, then that means he thinks that's the best he can do. This was a dynamite player in 2016 and a weak player in 2017. He's the kind of guy who might look for a 1 year deal as a bounce-back candidate. If he signed a 1 year deal and was closer to his 2014 or 2016 form, then next offseason he hits the market looking for a deal that could be >$15 mil a year. Right now I'm guessing maybe 3/$30 if he wants to sign a 3 year deal?

It's ridiculous superstition of the players. Habit. They do the batting club adjustment. I'll have to see these changes in place to believe them. The umpires won't cooperate. They don't give a s*** about baseball. Their union is so powerful they wink wink at the game by calling the strike zone they want to call not the strike zone in the rulebook. They aren't going to agree to any pitch clock and they'll let the hitters do whatever they want outside the box even though it's so boring. TV needs to step in unless they really want 4 hour games. It's ridiculous that it take an hour or more to play 3 innings on the average.
