My question is this: Who is our starting 3B at this point? I haven't paid close attention to Spring lineups (not that it would really matter).
If Frelick can play 3B well, that would help the outfield problem obviously.
Not surprising. At this point (unless someone wants to overpay), you go with Willy for this season. If you are out of it at the deadline and some team wants to offer more then the draft pick, you trade him. If not, you offer the QO in the offseason, take the pick and move on.
Part of me says this is just speculation, the other part of me says there are a lot of guys that have to eventually sign so why not us.
I would expect a 2 year deal with a buyout after year one with a decent amount of deferrals.
Yes I am sure reading the book would have helped. On the way out I heard the people in front of us saying "*** was that?" It looks like there will be another one and I'll give it a chance when it comes out.
I went to see Dune 2 today. The cinematography and acting were excellent. The story itself was really awful. It jumped all over the place and generally was a hodgepodge. I really enjoyed the first one but this one kinda sucked.
Chapman to the Giants, 3 years an 54 million with opt outs after the first two years. I wonder if that's going to be a new thing moving forward with free agents.
Belt at a one year, 6 million dollar contract is a no brainer. I know the team thinks they found something with Bauers but Belt would be a great RHP DH and backup 1B.
Could easily be wrong but I am hoping he is like Haase in that if you can't find a better alternative, you have him as a "break glass in case of emergency" guy.
I thought we would be done after the Sanchez signing. However, the last two signings (Rosario and Urshela) make me think the team will sign another guy at a low cost. I have shifted my hopes from Soler to Belt. I do not want to see a lot of Bauers this year if it can be helped.
