He's at least more interesting than Jankowski and the 3 guys at AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Look at the draft he went #1. Will Smith was the best first rounder by far, he went 32. Cal Quantrill was/is rthe 2nd best in bWAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Too bad it's not Adell. Now THAT at least would be more interesting based on pure topline bat speed alone. Edited March 25 by caulfield12 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 53 minutes ago, 2Deep said: Is he more "Sucks" then the suck we already have on the team? It seems that Moniak figured out his own weaknesses, fixed it, then the league adjusted back to him. Our guys aren't even that far on their own individual pro journeys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OF mix (player and 2024 WAR) Fletcher -1.8 DeLoach -2.8 Colas -2.8 Taylor .9 Jankowski .3 Slater -.7 Didn't include Benintendi because he has a larger deal and going to play anyway but -.8 to him. I won't be mad when they don't sign him but I'd take him over like half that list, including over the only positive WAR, old guys.

Benintendi is being paid a ton and at least has a history of some value. Slater was positive WAR at the end of last year with Baltimore, and has a history of some value. Taylor and Jankowski are bench players. Robert should be fine. The only thing Moniak has going for him is his age. He'll either catch on somewhere in the minors, or bounce around being DFAed until he goes to Japan, Korea or Mexico. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I don't really care either way but wouldn't mind taking a flyer on him if they chose to.
