Grossman (S) Candy (S) Correra (R) Miggy (R) Greene (L) Schoop (R) Tork (R) Barnhart (L) / Haase (R) Baddoo (L) / Hill (R) that's a good lineup. (3) high OBP guys at the top of the lineup (vs. Schoop). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would swap Candy and Correa, tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gilmore Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 After the way Cleveland has had our number for years, hoping to have this serve as a token for their broken season after we turn the tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several people saying there is one already signed and they're waiting to announce. I don't know how true that is but I think they have who they want in their sights and they are going for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinzaki Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The "Guardians"...how much did the popularity of the Guardians of the Galaxy and the MCU play into the choice of that name? They would join the Anaheim Ducks (ne Mighty Ducks of Anaheim) and the Toronto Raptors (Jurassic Park) as teams with names influenced by popular cinema. The next expansion team should be called the Baseball Furies..but MLB may not be good with all the make up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Niko sealed his fate with the Tiger org when he declined to make a serious attempt to change his LH approach. When your team comes to you and says "you need to do better at 'X' " and you opine in the press that you think you are just fine at doing 'X', (and despite a terrible OPS at doing 'X' ) you probably haven't done the optimum thing to enhance your career prospects.

Jim Cowan Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I think Niko will be a useful 25th man on a good team in the NL that limits him to 250 PA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast that's the reason they give anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is any team who signs him obligated to go to arb with him? Or can they avoid that by signing him to a minor league contract, and if he does and makes the team out of Arizona, can they pay him major league minimum and what happens to his arb clock?

RandyMarsh Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I never understood switch hitters like Niko that are so terrible from one side of the plate yet they still stick with it. I mean could he possibly have been worse if he just batted right handed against righties? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically he is DFA correct? That means anyone can pick him up off waivers and I assume if they do they get his arb status. But if no-one does I suppose he's a FA. --- Reading an update from Beck just now he did indeed clear waivers and he is a free agent. In Niko's case that means he will probably be looking at a minor league contract offer with a maybe ST invite.
