I know certain people are pushing Kikuchi, but what do you see in this guy? He'd be a nice throw in type, but to make him the big piece of a trade that we send top prospects for is insane. I just looked at his numbers, we can do better than this guy.
These stupid stats that mean absolutely nothing are numbing.
You can take the greatest players of all time and come up with some obscure, reaching stat that makes them look foolish.
I think it's opposite. Now that Yelich is shelved, I think we ride Adames off into the sunset, and try and add another bat. Losing Yelich and trading Adames would only weaken the offense further, unless we got real bats back for Adames that can help us now. I don't see that happening.
Trading Adames now isn't going to happen based on the Hader trade alone, much less now that Yelich is going to be out for a LENGTHY time.
Adames by default, since we don't have anyone else that can fill that role.
I'd keep Turang at leadoff, but Chourio at 2, followed by Contreras is fine.
You could also go Turang, Ortiz, Chourio, Contreras, Adames...
Another weird "let's overpay for a guy for no real reason" situation. Shook has an incredible future, Jay just doesn't. This is a head scratcher, and irritating.
I know MLB wants to capitalize on jersey sales, but I really wish they'd go back to the players wearing their actual uniforms.
These unis are dreadful.
