Maybe Robles was just "hot"

$10 million extension for this guy, Dip?
So are we regretful or not regretful these days
I think that's a steal, even if he ends up being a 4th outfielder. To me he's a solid player that creates runs, exactly what this team needs.

It's not my money, so I'd have been happy to pay him on a QO to make him stay here for another year.

That they got him to agree to stay here for 2 more years at 10 million seems like a steal.

I wonder if he would have signed the extension if he was eligible for a QO.....

That's right, I forgot he wasn't eligible.

I think they got a good deal on this one. He's worth that as a late inning pinch runner.

Wasn't trying to be cocky, yeah it's baseball, who knows. Really, $10 mil over two seasons is a pretty small gamble. But yeah, it's the mariners so maybe it's a big one. He has seven bunt singles on the season, that's second in the majors. But that's with only 200+ at bats
I have to admit, so far he’s pretty impressive, my kind of guy, bunts a lot. Steals too!

It’s a real head scratcher.

He comes from the nationals, where he’s been worthless for years, joins a team that can’t hit worth a damn, and he’s hitting like crazy!

No one would have bet that.

By the way, my track record of predictions is pretty lousy.
