Re: 2037 Johnson League FA Pod
a stopgap with a fully guaranteed 4 year deal like driscoll has is a bit of a head scratcher though.RonCo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:51 pmDriscoll is exhibit A when it comes to the need for a defensive replacement. B ut if he OBPs .370, he's a superior offensive cog who generally comes at value. If I were a building team needing a stopgap I'd take him in a heartbeat. That said, he's crossing to the wrong side of 30, so the risk of his bat declining is pretty serious.

Tuned in to see what you had to say about me, ended up getting: Rockville is good, that is all, good night. Laughed a little.
Let's see if I can do the impossible.

Re: 2037 Johnson League FA Pod
I agree the contract is a bit long. But the issue there, to my thinking, is not Driscoll himself, and not even the dollars in the near-term, but the length of the commitment.usnspecialist wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 6:13 pma stopgap with a fully guaranteed 4 year deal like driscoll has is a bit of a head scratcher though.RonCo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:51 pmDriscoll is exhibit A when it comes to the need for a defensive replacement.

That said, (1) perhaps I'll be proven wrong, and (2) the Genius is pretty good at what he does, and he can deal with a $4M falling out of his sister's bed in the morning.

Re: 2037 Johnson League FA Pod
I certainly agree that it was an overpay on Quezada but Fred had trumped my first offer and he was the only FA I wanted (and that I had any chance of affording. Quezada might well never be a leading light on many BBA teams but I'd back him to be better than the shower of _ _ _ _ that I currently had vying for the CF job.
Good podcast as always though
