Baez

[sontensei]

So, what are the chances that Baez is up soon and playing second with Russell at short?

 

It sure feels like he's going to at least get his shot.

 

Some chance? I think there's a chance we see Castro shipped out by the deadline and Baez taking his place.

 

God i hope your right, if Theo can move his what 40-50 million contract that would be great!

I can't really see anybody taking on Castro's contract at this point.

Well, that's just silly.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Well, that's just silly.

 

I can see us letting him go on an August waiver claim or getting nothing notable in a trade. $38m guaranteed is an awful lot for a guy averaging less than 1 fWar per year over the last three.

He's blown his cost out of the water when he's actually been useful, which he was just last year. I agree that you're likely not going to get much trading just him, but if they actually finally start trading some of these prospects I don't think it it would be hard to find a FO who figures they can fix him.

right, someone somewhere is gonna take the gamble that they can fix him ([expletive], he was "fixed" last year) and then have him locked up for cheap forever

Someone on twitter said Javy Baez has hit more extra base hits in those 3 at bats than Starlin has hit in the last 22 games he's played, which I don't have the energy to check but my gut says is true
