M's get Wong for Winker and Toro!!
Re: M's get Wong for Winker and Toro!!
He had 3.1 WAR in less than 500 PAs. More like a 4 WAR guy for a full season.

Not dissing the trade....but Wong sucked defensively last year and will regress offensively because of T-Mobile

Re: M's get Wong for Winker and Toro!!
Loving this trade as long as Wong doesn't pull a Frazier on us, especially in moving from Milwaukee to Seattle. I think he'll do pretty well. He's got some pop and is a plus defender (although Bil in the previous post says he sucks - don't tell us that, Bil!) who's recently won two Gold Gloves.
And if Winker starts hitting in Milwaukee it doesn't matter because he didn't hit in Seattle. Not to mention dumping Toro and presumably letting Frazier go.
So since Winker's gone, Lewis is gone, Haniger is likely gone, and playing Kelenic would be the stupidest thing in the history of everything, presumably we're still shopping for a good outfielder.

Also closes the book on the FA SS pipe dream. Can't believe people fell for that nonsense. Sign Nimmo or trade for Reynolds and we have a solid off season.

Yes, Jerry will come through with an OFer. That's a lock.

Love that it also ends the "Winker will DH" pukefest also.D-train wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:04 pmYes, Jerry will come through with an OFer. That's a lock.

Hopefully they step up and get a guy that can actually hit at DH.
I don't doubt that Wong will be worse offensively than he has been, but Moore is who I'd have given the spot to anyways, so I'm hoping to see him get more playing time.
Trammell and Moore are underrated imo.

Guess that also closes the door on Lowe, Anderson too...
They better get a fucking sick left fielder and starting pitcher now.

Re: M's get Wong for Winker and Toro!!
Didnt the report from Divish imply that Winkers work ethic compared to Hanigers really irked the team? This may open the door for a Haniger deal to cover dh and cof in a pinch.
Im not really all in on resigning Haniger, but it could be an economical and payroll flexible move that also keeps clubhouse chemistry rolling forward.
id rather sign judge tho. lol.
either way, i like the trade since im very sick of watching toro and winker fail to keep the line moving.
