Yeah but on top of that, imagine having the ability to sign Schoop for an additional 3 years on top of that.

The point is, we don’t know if this guy will be as good as Schoop.   If he is, yes, this will be a good deal.    But he has never played a major league game, and it’s not like he’s a top 10 prospect.     He might be as good as Schoop or better, he might be Logan Forsythe, or he might be a guy who never has much success in the majors.    Or, he could suffer some career-altering injury any time in the next few years.

Sisco is are equivalent. Manny was a super prospect. Schoop was coming off a injured back and a down year in AAA. 

Sisco is the guy we should lock up. 

I like Cisco and all but he’s an iffy, at best C, who has no power. If he develops then good for him, but not a risk I’m willing to take

To me no power means five or less HR in regular at bats.

Sisco has more power than that.

I think the ML ball will be to his liking.

Not much difference between 4 & 7 HR. What kind of stat line are you expecting in 3 years?

He had two this spring and two in limited action after rosters expanded.

Lets say he gets says 400 at bats I'm thinking 25-30 doubles and 15 HR in 2020.

But I'm not good at this game.
