Just look back at the FA class last year and France is among the best choices we could have made.
$20+ million guys:
Christian Walker - .623 OPS with negative bWAR
Pete Alonso - .928 OPS with 2.8 bWAR. Would have loved him but 0% chance Pohlads were extending the budget that much.
$12 million guys:
Goldschmidt and old friend Santana continue to defy Father Time with productive seasons for NYY and CLE
$5-6 million guys:
Josh Bell has been terrible for Washington. Justin Turner has been bad for Cubs
Other guys in France’s salary bracket $1-1.75 million:
Gavin Sheets is okay, Jake Bauers is okay, Rowdy Telez is terrible, and Yuli Gurriel is terrible
