Both guys are dogshit, one shouldnt be 1/1.5 while the other is 2/15I would think if you're looking for a plus defense utility infielder who can also play CF, it would be kind of fucking stupid to sign a guy who is bad at defense
Also, 2023:
Amed: 88 wRC+
IKF: 82 wRC+
obviously other team(s) were bidding on one of themBoth guys are dogshit, one shouldnt be 1/1.5 while the other is 2/15
And so help me god his ability to play CF on this team is useless with Varsho/KK/Springer here
And presumably these other teams wanted him at his best defensive spot. We don’t. Just idiocyLet them?
If he hit the market a year ago he’d have gotten 9 figures.FI Pitchbot: Last year Tim Anderson had 1 home run, a 60 wRC+ and .582 OPS. Here's why that's bad news for Ross Atkins

Most of these players are flawed. Only one got 2/15If he hit the market a year ago he’d have gotten 9 figures.
I mean they clearly jumped the shark on falafel and that was an objectively bad signing given the teams financial constraints and their obvious misread of the market.
