He has a bit more this year though. He’s at.272 with a .772 OPS. Not spectacular, and he’s probably been protected a bit with the platoon. He’s clearly a serviceable outfielder. Another indictment of the FO ability to develop add/or set up hitters for success. I don’t think he’s going to be the star we hoped, but my comment was more about the FO than lamenting losing him.

Well, except that they shouldn't have traded Cano and Diaz for him just so they could pocket the money.

I was OK with the rebuild. I just wish they would have traded Haniger as well then.bpj wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 10:19 pmHe started off hot last season also.

Instead they bought a failing cable network and a restaurant next to the stadium.
Just buffoons.
Agreed, Haniger should have been sold off when he had 1 or 2 years left.
Re: Former Mariners tracker
He was too injured at that point. He had much more value with 3-4 years left, then he busted his nut.bpj wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 10:39 pmI was ok with it if they had done what they said they were going to do and reinvest the savings in the team.

Re: Former Mariners tracker
Yeah if they would have sold him after his 2018 6.5 bWAR season with FOUR years of control they would have got a HAUL. Instead they got NOTHING.

Re: Former Mariners tracker
Mariners have never embraced a full rebuild
Re: Former Mariners tracker
He had more value with more time, like most players, but they had chances to trade him for good value.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 10:42 pmHe was too injured at that point.

People around here were still pretty enthusiastic about the potential returns-

Re: Former Mariners tracker
I could be wrong, but I don’t think he’s platooning anymore. He’s their regular, top of the order, full time CF since Acuna went on the IL.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 10:12 pmHe has a bit more this year though. He’s at.272 with a .772 OPS.

Re: Former Mariners tracker
He was early though, and that accounts for a good portion of his AB. His OPS is .130 points higher vs righties, so not platooning has seemingly hurt his overall numbers.Big_Maple wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2024 1:29 amI could be wrong, but I don’t think he’s platooning anymore.
