if we're at a point that we're so filled up with gifted offensive players that Castro is deemed expendable, we won't even need pitching anymore five Travis Woods would win 18 games apiece the way you people are talking
i guess i worry with it far less with Bryant because he has such a superior grasp of the strike zone it really mitigates those concerns- he'll force pitchers back into the zone...but assuming no improvements for contact, he's what, Chris Carter (.222/.313/.459) at 3B? that's still about a 2.5-3 WAR player picking Soler vs. Bryant, probably a dead heat since i still expect Bryant to end up in the OF sooner rather than later but Soler has more durability concerns
his ADP is 148th, but his ZiPS isn't really much different than Donaldson (ADP: 21), so it really boils down to how much you want to ensure getting him Bryant vs. Donaldson 82/26/91/ 7/.265 (147 G) 91/29/96/10/.256 (132 G)
That stands to reason, he apparently showed up to camp at 242 lbs, up from his list weight of 215 lbs. And it was pretty much all muscle. i may have said this already, but seeing him jog off the field with Alcantara looks almost like father & son
i don't get Chip Kelly's reasoning here; Bryce Brown had some 200 yard games in his offense- it seems like he can make a star RB maybe better than anyone, so why not put that money into your OL? it's still a win, nonetheless, because Murray and Shady ended up with equal contracts, but the Eagles gained a nice young RB in the whole rigamarole
