Its not a matter of hating Renfroe or McCutchen. The fact is this team needed a major offensive upgrade and neither of these players offers that upside. If this team makes the playoffs which it certainly can they will more than likely be the weakest offense in the playoffs.
-
The fact is we didn’t have to take Renfroe back to get rid of Jackie.
-
Why does anyone think we had to take Renfroe back in the Bradley deal when Boston just as easily could have done the deal without him involved and non tendered Hunter after the deal. We clearly wanted the player and I think it was a mistake.
-
Renfroe could have been non tendered. As far as debating between Castellanos and Renfroe you need to consider that Castellanos would have been the full time DH and his negative defense wouldn’t matter. If you see McCutchen and Renfroe offering more with the bat than Castellanos that is something I would strongly disagree with.

We can say almost for certain that the possible NL playoff teams are Atlanta, NY, Philadelphia from the East, Brewers and St Louis from the Central, and LA, SF, SD from the West. Out of all these possible playoff teams the Brewers lineup is the worst and I don't think there is much debate. At some point we need to get a difference maker and not keep spinning our wheels on third rate hitters.
-
Renfroe could have been no tendered. The Red Sox took on Bradley to get Binelas and Hamilton who are both good prospects. If they hadn't dumped Renfroe on us they would have done what I suggested the Brewers do and non tendered Renfroe. This idea that we had to keep Renfroe is flat out wrong. We could have just traded Bradley with the two prospects and received nothing in return. We chose Renfroe and McCutchen when we knew we needed a substantial offensive upgrade.

Once we trade Hader, Burnes, and Woodruff we won't be contending anyway so the payroll can easily be below 100 million. We probably have a one or two year window depending on when we move the pitching. The last thing this organization can afford is letting the pitchers play out their control years and lose them for nothing. With the pitching in place now was the time to go all in by signing Castellanos who was born to DH instead of spending most of that money on McCutchen and Renfroe who are far inferior hitters. I believe we can make the playoffs just off the pitching but there isn't one contender in the NL with anything close to a lineup as bad as we currently have.
-
Boras did that guy a disservice having him turn down arbitration.
-
I believe that Castellanos is making about 5 million more than McCutchen and Renfroe combined so that shouldn't be a big issue. After this season Cain is off the books so that helps pay for next years salary. We also know that we are likely to trade all three of Hader, Burnes, and Woodruff in the next few years leading to a likely rebuild so money shouldn't be an issue in a few years when we have only a couple of big salaries. The point I have been trying to make is we should be all out trying to win the World Series while we have this outstanding pitching and raising the payroll for a year or two should have been done.
-
Nice to be wrong about Devin.
-
Maybe Gott can go another inning so we can avoid Devin.
-
Gott has been very impressive.
-
Now thats a nice inning we've got going.
-
We scored a run very nice. Lets try to score a bunch more.
-
Plenty of good hitters out there we just don't have any of them but wow that exit velocity must be at the top of the league.
-
These guys shouldn't even bring a bat to the plate and just hope the pitcher throws 4 balls before 3 strikes.
-
Stearns has probably checked out anyway and is probably running the Mets from afar.
-
The bats will surely heat up once the weather improves.
-
This one is about to get out of hand but 2 runs is probably enough.
-
Wong has been terrible in all phases of the game.
-
Adames can stop sucking any time now.
-
The pitching staff is great and thats why its so frustrating that we did nothing to improve the offense. Burnes, Woodruff, and Hader will be gone in a few years so now is the window to provide the staff with some bats.
-
We really need 3 new starting outfielders.
-
Taylor needs to be given a shot at the everyday CF job. Cain is obviously far better defensively but as long as he is hitting like a pitcher he offers the team nothing.
-
Yeah this offense is clearly good enough to help us win the World Series and the McCutchen and Renfroe acquisitions were brilliant.
