I was the one who was down on his Defense, not anymore I see vast improvement. Good job, Mr. Butterfield. He'll only get better.
Throw out the hitting, who would you rather have at 3rd base, Sandoval or Devers?
Which is why I don't understand the Machado talk. You move one kid to another position, he's never played, to me is Counter-productive. Hurts team and player.
Just get a good 1st Baseman, and go with it. Keep it simple. Money saved, might be used this year for a guy like Nunez. You combine say Hosmer and Nunez, wont reach what Machado will be asking, in a year.
Thing about Nunez is he is a Tradeable commodity, that might bring you something back for the Farm, Holt will bring you a Pitcher from the Pelicans, that in a year will be working at McDonalds.
Nunez is exactly the kind of resign you want, helps the team in many ways. Providing salary and years are fair.
