There are a lot of less valuable people they could have hung out there.Name me 1 guy on that team, other than Mountcastle and Mancini if he comes back, capable of driving home 80-90 runs like Nunez did 2 yrs. ago.
Santander. Rutschman. Possibly Diaz. Maybe on a good year, Stewart. To further clarify, we're probably playing for draft position this year. That makes a run producer the enemy. We still have Davis crippling both the lineup and the roster flexibility. He's the perfect fit on an awful team.
Of people now on the team,add Santander. But they could need him. And even if they don't, just dumping him is stupid.Diaz has done nothing of note since he's been in the organization.
He's got power, but he's kind of like former oriole Mark Reynolds. Poor defense, low avg., k's a lot, and very streaky. It would not surprise me to see Bannon on third at some point in 2021.
The ghost runner is now permanent. So is my disgust with mlb.
