chitownsportsfan Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 2 hours ago, Tnetennba said: Mariners have top prospects around the infield and just locked up Naylor, not sure what Sosa does for them. And with Julio in CF, Robert’s value to the M’s is diminished, unless he finds his All Star form at the plate. They have Cole Young as basically their only 2B right now. Looking at the profiles there's a good shot that Sosa is the better player in 26, in what should be a contention window for the Mariners. I dunno, I'd argue you are never getting 9 WAR from a catcher again, and even regressing to a 4 WAR star puts them behind the 8 ball a bit. They need to try and improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raleigh has had 2 straight years at a very high WAR. Soon, it will be three. Edited January 7 by oldsox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People's heritage means a lot to them especially if they're close to a grandparent from the old country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just articles with a comment section for each article That's it. The comment sections fill up, depending on the subject. An article on how the Sox are working the waiver wire got 80 posts, while a Podcast article got 20. Somebody might mention a trade in the comments, and a couple of guys might respond.
