It is a huge risk. My thinking is that if he signs an extension, it voids his player option and thus I'll have him for just $4.5 million next year. That adds a lot of value for me. I wanted to keep Homilka out of the deal, but at the end of the day... a DH is easily replaceable.Dington wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 3:28 pmLove the return for San Antonio. I was after this guy for a long time, but he never produced to his ratings. I'm sure he signs an extension, but if he doesn't, it's a steep price. I'd rather lose to a basher like Big Papi than TWC's ragtag bunch of fielders with timely hits.
Yeah his splits are bad and he kills righties. I suspect he will sign an extension, but I hope it’s costly.ae37jr wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 4:29 pmIt is a huge risk.

I think the reason why he never lived up to potential is that he is a career .246/.297/.360 hitter VS LHP in over 1,800 plate appearances. His righty splits are much, much better at .307/.407/.546. By sitting him against lefties, I'm expecting the latter. Maybe even higher because he gets more rest and less cold streaks. Less is more.
