The singer for AC DC? Yeah, too bad or good about him, depending on whatever happened. Same old story, I guess.
But hey, at least there are no other Brian Johnson's worth talking about. And that makes me smile...
Honestly, from a strictly baseball talent perspective, this move would make a ton of sense. Especially since we do not live in a world that considers only baseball talent and therefore Puig is actually an affordable and economic option. But if the Sox really want to stay competitive and reset at the same time, Puig is the wild card that can make it happen.
Or derail it completely...
Puig is crazy, and that’s the only reason he’s a potential bargain.
Whatever he eventually signs for will be a ridiculous fraction of what a player with his age and talent should get this off-season. Based on those two factors, should be getting a contract in the same neighborhood as Rendon. But he will probably sign for what Rendon earns in April of 2020. And people will still question if he is worth it...
It’s certainly possible. But if all the remaining options who will likely sign a MiLB contract, who is better?
Jeremy Hellickson might have to settle for a MiLB deal, in which case he is probably th best option. The rest are worse or less likely to sign MiLB deals...
While that may be, do you really think Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Willie Mays should be replaced on the Greatest CF of All Time List by Jackie Bradley, Darren Lewis and Darryl Hamilton?
He also canceled Arrested Development, punched Baby Yoda and gave gout to my aunt.
But of all the pitchers willing to sign MiLB deals, he is among the better ones..,
That doesn’t even make sense.
“Our farm is barren and we haven’t been able to develop pitching!! So we should give those guys a chance first!!” I do want to see your Yelp reviews on restaurants you review. “The food was horrible!! Completely inedible!! And they don’t give you enough of it either!!”
The point is to NOT let the pennant hopes rely too heavily on Shawaryn or Velasquez or Hart...
