Victor Robles might not just be "hot"

Sqeeze the tongs. Toss or spin the ball. Drink milk from carton. Swing the bat. Pull the trigger on the drill. She did pull the tape on the measure...that's the one she got.

Yep.

I’m fine with 2 year 9.75mil extension

Damn glad it wasn’t a QO as someone suggested

I thought a bit about my off-season plan last night. I kinda ran off of the what to do about 3B.

My thoughts were basically you get two impact players:

1. You sign A. Chapmann for a 1 year something like 7M+/- to be a big arm on the left side. I saw him dot up Manny Machoda with 105.2 the other night on a YT short.

2. Sign/trade for the best bat you can get. Trades( Brandon Lowe, Chapmann, Rooker, etc). FA:( Pete A, Bregman, etc.)

I have seen a few posters speculate that at any time Victor could just not be good. I get it. I have had that same feeling but this video has me more than giving it a 2nd thought.

I hope you watch it:

$10 million extension for this guy, Dip?

Worst case scenario, we now have a Raley/Robles platoon in one corner around Julio and Arozarena.

Seems like a really good time for them to admit that getting bats at 1B and DH should be a top priority. Can't keep skipping the MOTO bats and putting that pressure on Cal/Julio.

Has anybody looked who the best 3B that might be available this offseason are?

The difference is a QO would have come around at the end of the season once he's already earned it.

Unless he turns it around again, there's no chance he would have earned one based on what we've seen now.

Quite a difference really, because now he's guaranteed $10M and it's probably a tossup who's better between him and Canzone going forward.

Chapman was available last offseason and they thought Urias was a better idea. Chapman at 5.6 WAR and Urias at -0.2 WAR and in AAA for Months.
