November 7, 20232 yr The fact that DeJong had a higher wRC+ than TA after DeJong went 12 for 93 after being traded is...telling.

November 7, 20232 yr https://www.fangraphs.com/players/paul-dejong/18015/stats?position=SS AVERAGING a 0.5 fWAR over the FOUR previous seasons. Guess you could round up to 0.6 or 0.7 because of limited Covid year opportunities. Middle infielders reaching or approaching the wrong side of 30. He is what it says on the back of his baseball card. Below-average veteran. Brilliant.

November 7, 20232 yr 7 hours ago, Sleepy Harold said: At least he played solid defense in the past Yeah. Guys there isn’t a single offensive upgrade, but DeJong is a strong defender. And he’s tall. May be a good influence for uh…a tall SS coming up. but also he’ll be like barely a $3M deal. If you were worried about quixotic spending to doom this should alleviate you.
November 7, 20232 yr How can you rationalize signing BOTH DeJong and Lopez and not giving Sosa or Rodriguez a shot at at least one of the spots.
November 7, 20232 yr It's a guess, but a good one. When you need 2 or 3 middle infielders and are desperate to improve you defense... that doesn't leave many options.

November 7, 20232 yr Pretty sure my reaction to every signing or rumored interest is going to be ? Least compelling offseason in a long time
November 7, 20232 yr DeJong is an alum of Antioch High School. Go Sequoits!! Never realized that TA was THAT bad.

Least compelling offseason in a long time If the idea was to drive fan interest lower than it was when JR spearheaded the strike that took his own team off a WS path, then I would say mission accomplished

For all the s%*# they got, it feels like Robin and Ricky were the only two managers in recent memory that were chill with rookies. The big, big exceptions for Ozzie being Jenks and Beckham.

Viciedo really had issues....same with Brian Anderson. Rowand/Crede 2-3 years to get established. Avisail Garcia bounced so many directions after promising debut in Detroit.

November 7, 20232 yr You’re stopgap until Monty is ready. At least he plays solid defense. Sad thing is his production would be a huge upgrade compared to the shitshow we watched last year.
