I'd 100% give up Walker for Mazara.  We know Mazara can mash against righties at the ML level.  We don't know what Walker is and they are very similar in age.

This type of thinking is how James Shields gets turned into Tatis, Jr.   Sometimes you don't have to overthink it.  You can give them garbage back when they send over a broken player your way.

I thought that was hilarious. Every defensive metric on the planet hates this guy.

Hes graded out + in UZR twice in the past 4 years. -4 DRS past two years - that's not good but I dont think its fair to say hes terrible. Hes literally a net 0 in UZR/150 for his career.

You can't.  Join the club.  I'm not sure the Sox realize how close they are to losing the remaining fans they have.

The conspiracy theorist inside says that they're actively trying to alienate the fanbase so they can skip town when Jerry passes. 

Jerry and the kids already have a buyer and they're going to Vegas.

You think these guys need to buy flood insurance for all the water they carry for the front office?

Don’t write JR a letter. Apparently he doesn’t read them.anymore.

Yeah, the bottom part is the big thing for me.

If they're going to save money in RF too, where are they going to spend? They better be landing somethibg big if they're going the cheap route in right as well.

I can agree with you here.  Otherwise, this offseason is a bust and Hahn lied to us all yet again.

Oh for fucks sake

This is as good as happening in my opinion. Jerry isn’t laughing about this one

He was -2.7 last year....

Quiet, I’m watching his 2019 highlights

You and every other baseball fan obsessed with the MLB front offices and roster movements.  I had a roommate after college - college buddy of one of my HS friends - that has worked for a few MLB teams and is now an associate in the Twins front office.  Its tough work for MINIMAL pay.  Isn't easy to make it if you're not a former player, or an attorney.  

Way too greedy personally, but man it would be a fun job.  

Kaplan and Garfien talking about Mazara now on STL.

I have no issues with Mazara if the money is being spent big somewhere else. That would actually be a smart gamble if that was the plan. 

I feel like the highest I go on Mazara is Gavin Sheets.

Yeah, that's why I said 2 of the past 4 years. Given that he's only 25, you're probably best using his career number which is a 0.

It's a wild thought that's semi-plausible. 

Probably not true, but there's an outside chance it is.

This I would do and not complain.

How many were against the White Sox?  80%?

The plan is he doesn't cost as much as the remaining OF free agents.

His DRS has always been bad. Why would that change? That also factors in range.
