Lewis had been hurt for three years.... You willing to bet he's going to stay healthy and not be Buxton?
Similarly, Rodon was hurt each of the two years before this.... That's some serious risk for a pitcher.
Agreed. Who else are they going to pay any time soon? In a year, will they have anyone even making ten million other than Buxton? Kepler will be gone. So the veteran pitchers, gone. Polanco doesn't make that.
I'd likely put Ryan over Gray, but it would be close. Otherwise, this would be my ballot also.
Highly conflicted on Buxton..... He was awesome when he did play....
They need to stop dropping Hunter in coverage. They need to let Smith play closer to the line. Other than that, not sure they can fix this with these players. The offense is going to have to score 35 plus some games....
