My only point is that it wouldn’t be hard to replace Santanders offensive production. That’s pretty much a fact.
I also don’t think it’s nearly as difficult to replace Santander as an overall player...I think people on this site continue to overrate him and that’s coming from someone who does like him and does think he’s a good player. But he’s treated as if he’s an AS level player around here and that’s over the top.
Seems like a weak argument coming from you. It’s a lot easier to find a Nunez-level DH than a Santander-level RF. You don’t make up for losing Santander in RF by adding Nunez at DH.
I don’t want to belabor the point because whether Santander should be traded now depends on what we can get for him. Without knowing what the return is, arguing about trading him is pointless. I have zero problem with the O’s shopping him and seeing what’s on offer.
To cite a player being a gold glove finalist as your sole evidence of their defensive skill is the very height of foolishness.
A gold glove nomination is not a meaningful achievement.
