I thought you were mistaken on the silver slugger award. I had to look it up. That was a very low bar and he benefited greatly by being in the utility category.
Gunnar is a special player and I would sign him to an extension as the primary goal. Obviously I would have all three on the team as long as they could, though.
You try to sign long term Gunnar and GR. Wait and see on the others.
As for Adley? I would not sign him to a long term contract. I hate to say it because I love the guy but he just does not seem worth what he is going to ask for imo.
I am not worried about Means AS LONG AS HE IS HEALTHY.
Big if. But he knows what he is doing getting ready for what him is his spring training. If he does this his first 2 starts or so?
Then I worry.
I had never seen him in a live at bat until I saw him at his first spring training at bat this year. And I mean his very first at bat.
He struck out swinging on like 4 pitches and being honest looked completely over matched. I remember thinking....."hmmmm that seems odd for a guy so highly touted". He just seemed like he had no idea what he was doing.
But then I never really saw another live at bat from him again all spring training and he ended up doing pretty well. However every at bat I have seen of him since he got called up? Looked like that first spring training at bat. He looks like my wife trying to hit a major league fastball. He has no idea what he is doing.
I have never seen someone so good against minor league players and yet so bad against major league players. Just a huge discrepancy.
Has to be psychological. He looks completely intimidated.
