My FA Suggestion
Re: My FA Suggestion
Before the trade he had a .877 OPS in 437 PAs. Even after the debacle in SD (Soto is only hitting .242 with them) he has the same OPS+ as Abreu, he is LH and is SIX years younger. Pujols started his dramatic decline right about Abreu's age...I would be fine with him on a one year deal but guessing he is offered at least two.
I guess the risk with Bell is that he continues to suck like Frazier did after being traded to SD and then to us but they are two totally different hitters.

Re: My FA Suggestion
See, I'm not worried about age. It's the track record for me. And Abreu is just a much more consistent hitter. Bell has serious holes in his approachD-train wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 10:50 am

Re: My FA Suggestion
Forgot why he is relevant. They might trade him due to crowded OF? Thanks.D-train wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 4:23 pmSure, I can see that.
