I am critical of him, but he was the best hitter on the team the last 2 years. He needs to pull his head out and start hitting. He has the last 2 years though, so I think he’ll figure it out. Will he become a 500 million dollar guy? I don’t know. But I’m sure glad to have a player like him for 12 years 209 million.Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 3:47 amWhat 23 year old has any team ever handed the sort of contract you're talking about?Juliooooo wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 3:43 amDo you understand the difference between “here’s500 million” and “ here’s your opportunity to earn 500 million”Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 3:38 am
You aren't reading even close to what I'm saying.
He's supposed to be a superstar. He was handed a superstar contract. When Dipoto talks about the contract he literally says, "we handed $500 million to Julio."
At worst he's a .250/.350/.400 hitter... not whatever bullshit we're seeing.
What he's doing is pathetic and I wish you would call it out as such, rather than almost never comment on it but shit on Dylan Moore when he has a rough stretch.
“You are a very good player, and we’re confident enough to give you 209 million, but you can go out and make it 500 million.” Those are 2 very different things.
I don't know why this is so hard for you. I know you're in love with the guy, but you can be critical of him. You use kid gloves with him but absolutely hosed Dylan Moore last week for a couple of errors... dude is making $3.3 million and playing out of his natural position.

Also, it’s bet similar to what Acuna got, 17 million a year, but after 8 years Acuna is a free agent. Julio was locked in for 12

Do you understand the difference between “here’s500 million” and “ here’s your opportunity to earn 500 million”
“You are a very good player, and we’re confident enough to give you 209 million, but you can go out and make it 500 million.” Those are 2 very different things.

He is the M's Mike Trout. The Yankees Aaron Judge. The Dodgers Mookie Betts.
He's not some guy they said, "golly gee, here's $209 million over 12 years... hope he's at least a decent bat."

That was a pretty generous hit ruling for Kelenic last inning
