When you look Papi's line, it is still elite. Is it going to last all season long or something around that? Idk but If so, JH should convince him to stay another year.
They have passed on a lot good options in recent years. It was a mistake -like Lester- IMO. I'm not sure what is going to be available in 2017 but if what you say is true and if the guys I mentioned are untouchables -likely, IMO-, we will have to wait until 2018.
We'll see though.
mmm if they have payroll flexibly, I'd rather a FA but if Gray Carrasco Harvey, etc. are available via trade, it is ok for me... But IMO any of them would cost a big haul.
Well, considering that Castillo can't hit and Young is close to useless and JBJ isn't nothing spectacular with his bat -yet-, I think I would take that line any day of the week. IMO Holt could be 330+ OBP player.
The more I see Lester pitch the more piss me off the prior FO for letting him go, mostly when you see guys like Panda, Castillo, Porcello, etc. making the roster.
Unbelievable.
Tanaka's numbers vs our current lineup:
ERA 7.13
Gsc 41
OPS 743
K/BB 4.25
We need to score soon and as many Rs as possible. I didn't like Owens in his last start.
