He should not. If he is not producing or is hurt he needs to be replaced or go on IL.
Same for Buxton we now have a true replacement CF in Taylor and hiding Buxton at DH is not the answer.
Had a free weekend of HBO over Thanksgiving so I recorded all 10 episodes to eventually watch.
I agree with your observations and actually considered not watching the rest but glad I stuck it out.
It's stupid long. Does he even think he wants to play that many more year?
Personally, I'd gone for a shorter contract with higher average, maybe 8 years / $35M for $280M.
I doubt either one of Kepler or Kirilloff are tradeable until they are on the field and prove they are healthy.
Especially Kirilloff trying to come back from his wrist surgery. Has any athlete actually had this surgery and a
successful career afterwards? Kepler needs to earn his position and if Wallner or whomever beats him out
in ST so be it.
