OTOH, some guys can tick up their velo once they start working short and that can make a big difference, so I guess you don't know until you try. They sure are not in a position to give up on arms of any kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalTiger Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I don’t get the Baez hate. I agree the bat has been terrible and frustrating but his defense has been solid and he posts every day. Seriously if he opts out how does that help us ? Who plays shortstop? With so many holes and plenty of payroll space forthcoming why add another problem? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his hitting isn't going to get any better, and he's a defense only SS, that contract becomes ugly if/when that remaining strength is gone. Is a defense only SS worth $25M/season if his defense fades away? I guess he might still have the baserunning acumen, but if he ain't on base, how does he use it? I was happy with offering him 4 seasons with a 5th option, although he wasn't my first SS option that offseason. He got 6 total, with the opt out. OK, fine. I never thought his hitting would completely disintegrate like it has. I don't think he will opt out, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My completely amateurish opinion by glancing at the stats for 15 seconds is that he's getting barreled up more this season than last. Is he tipping pitches? I mean, look at that HR% jump from last season to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
