It’s a matter of style. I prefer a gm who builds a strong farm and values prospects. I don’t want him to make a trade unless it’s a good value and I don’t want him making a trade that isn’t a good value simply because he feels pressure to fill a perceived hole.
That’s what he’s done so far this year. Each of the previous five seasons he’s been sub .800 ops, is prone to slumps and offers little else value wise if he’s not cranking bombs.
I think you are overrating him. He offers power and little else, and I’m not sure how that will play in Comerica. He’s an aging, strikeout prone, maddeningly inconsistent rental.
