I don't think the point was to trash Holliday but to question the reliability of the metric. I share the question about Holliday's OAA. He hasn't been bad but I can't think of a single plus play and OAA thinks he is the best defender on the team.
It probably makes the most financial sense to extend Gunnar first and probably sooner rather than later.
If he continues in this trajectory he may be headed for the MVP. If that happens then you probably don’t have much chance to extend unless it’s for a 300- 500 million type deal.
He’s really matured as a SP with his pitch mix. He did that yesterday without his curveball. He tried to get the curveball going with Renfigo but ended up walking him.
I think that Trout HR shook GR a bit and he never really got settled in. That and he had his worst command of the season.
He will be alright. It happens.
