Look, I think they keep on doing the same 1/2 ass shit. There is 11.3M on the table with dropping trash players they dropped Irias's 5M but it looks like they are keeping.
Dump them
Austin Voth (5.115): $2.2MM (102 ERA+)
Luis Urias (5.014): $5MM The only one so far
Trent Thornton (4.148): $2.1MM (100 ERA+)
Josh Rojas (4.126): $4.3MM (91 OPS+)
Sam Haggerty (4.036): $900K (Injured and expected to miss significant time)
Tayler Saucedo (3.112): $1MM (107 ERA+)
Gabe Speier (2.172): $900K (65 ERA+)
Keep
Randy Arozarena (4.129): $11.7MM
Logan Gilbert (3.144): $8.1MM
Cal Raleigh (3.085): $5.6MM
JT Chargois (5.101): $1.7MM
Rojas in particular grinds my gears. In 142 games 476 PA's he managed to drive in 31 RBI
VS
Jake Burger in 137 games in a down year for him he hit 29 bombs and drove in 76 RBI on a Miami team that hit a lot worse than us. We had a 103 OPS+ they had an 83.
And these fucking morons that run this team are blind to their moronic plan of turning an RBI position into a job share between two guys that should be bench players. Brought in when someone gets plunked in the wrist or crashes into a wall. They should not be getting the combined 917 PA's they got last year but it looks like from these reports that is their plan. Just like it was their plan last year.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting different results. Sorry for ranting here but I really want to look at a roster and think with health we could beat anybody. And it is there for the taking.
100 PA's and discussing 76 vs 31 RBI doesn't make it up in near 500 to near 600 PAs. PA is and 18% difference vs a 2.5 to 1 difference in RBI production. And my position is that you can't have a utility guy manning a corner with no power and a below average bat. PERIOD! You need run producers at run producing positions (Corners), otherwise you waste a plus producer such as Cal at catcher. I will say that Josh had a bit above average defense at 3B, but that is completely wasted by a .688 OPS vs RHP, and a .357 OPS vs LHP. Josh R. = worthless player.
Throwing a 2 BWAR figure out and saying he is good for 3B going forward is dumb.
And, Bohm: had 97 RBI last season which is more than 3/1 the production.
