I think number of years is almost as important as AAV. How many years of decline are you paying current production for? I think Bellinger is the best fit as he could fill RF and backup PCA/Busch, but I worry about him on a long term deal.
I expect Mo to get more at bats than Cassie with Seiya playing RF assuming both are still cubs. Just my opinion - Mo looks like a natural hitter and hopefully his agent or someone has him in much better condition when spring training starts.
I've been very impressed with Shaw's defense at 3rd overall, but it is just my eye test. Any analytics about his defense and particularly his arm? Will he stay at 3rd or would be be better at 2nd?
That was me - I responded as that thread was locked.
Prospect cost
Been hit hard lately
Prefer a RHP to mix with Shota, Boyd, and Steele (back by this time next year hopefully)
That article referenced Nico saying he wants to play in the japan series and quoted him as saying we'll see. I'd agree that it is doubtful, but I wouldn't rule it out based on the article.
Rizzo is my favorite player and I think it is a generous offer for a 32 year old first baseman with an iffy back. I was guessing 3 50. Hard time seeing him getting a significantly better offer.
SSS I know but what little I have watched this year I have been impressed with him. His numbers over the past couple months are great although power is low for corner OF. How is his defense? Can he play CF at all?
