Tenacious D Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I have no problem if Baez opts out. 2 yrs/$47M in his prime? Yes, please. However, I doubt he’ll do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be stunnded if he doens't opt out. If he's close to current production he'd easily get more than 113 milion on the open market espeically when the top potential FA SS that year is Isiah Kiner-Falefa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalTiger Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 6 hours ago, Jim Cowan said: So if you believe Fangraphs' assessment of defense, Baez has the advantage over Correa in defense, power, speed and durability. Correa has the advantage in OBP (.356) and he is 2 years younger. Correct? Correct. The value play is Baez. Correa will get on base 23 more times over 500 ABs ( .356 x 500= 178 / .31 x 500 = 155) and Baez will hit 7 more homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casimir Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Baez will opt out, purely out of respect to future HOF Ryan Kreidler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Kreidler will be the answer after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I doubt he’ll do it. 100%. Either he lights it up which is good for us, we have the chance to lock him up for a little more if needed or we hopefully have a prospect ready to take over. Honestly this is a home run for Avila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice, after using Twitter for a while, punctuation no longer matters. Half the time people don't even use question marks when asking a question.

casimir Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 So now with Baez at SS, anyone think that Torkelson might get some more time at 3B? I wouldn't think it'd be for anything other than to give Candelario a day off here and there. Maybe they resurrect it in spring just to see what it looks like? I personally doubt it, but it is interesting how Torkelson was getting time at 3B in the minors until Toledo. Tom Prince kept him on the RF side of the IF, and then was relieved of his duties at season's end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the plan is to still sign Correa, move Javy to 2B, Schoop to 1b and let Torkelson prove himself over the next 2 years until Schoop is gone.

You don't want Harold Castro playing everyday if Jeimer gets hurt. Edited December 2, 2021 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 In terms of 5th starter options left on the market, does Grienke have enough left in the tank or is he spent at this point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That's why they have Paredes. And I am pretty certain Paredes will make the team out of ST... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK - was having a terrible winter. Well maybe that will be a good sign after having a good winter last year and not being able to hit anything once the season started.
