Just horrible. Yep. Glad we no longer have to wait for him to start hitting in July only to get injured and miss a chunk of time again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've rather just kept Robert tbh but the return is better at this point in time than I might have expected. Watch him go out and produce 5 WAR though. Beats declining his option at least. So who plays CF? Acuña Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago If they sent no money at all, then that explains why the return is so bad. But when your payroll is as low as ours, the money doesn't really matter and you'd rather get something more useful back than a utility player and a 12th round pitcher.

Buehrle>Wood Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Is Acuna really 5'8 180? That makes Meidroth look big. Why do we trade for players with 0 power potential? Edited 1 hour ago by Buehrle>Wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Acuna had an OPS+ of 62 last year. In 2400 minor league at bats he has 41 HR and an OPS of .741. Guy’s a R/R tweener who is probably a utility player and a pinch runner. Mets got all the upside here. Frankly, I would rather have a couple of teenaged lottery tickets.

Doesn't change the fact that Robert is overpaid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
