I don't know if he's good, but taking a look at this roster: https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SFG/2023.shtml tells me he probably isn't bad, given they have won 78 games so far
Honestly, in 2022 Holliday is the only guy I'd take over Horton, and in 2023 we would have had to get into the top 5 to get someone I'd definitely take over Shaw (in hindsight)
anyone surprised that the guy with an ERA over 5 is struggling the 3rd time through the order against the best lineup in baseball? No? Just David Ross?
Candelario helped win games in the middle of a playoff push, which Herz would not have done for the Cubs this year. The trade is already worth it. Maybe Herz and Made turn out to be stars, but more likely they turn out not to be.
I know it's a deeply flawed roster with some injuries that have made it worse, but it really seems like Ross is just doing too much with the lineup/defense
