No … I wouldn’t have traded for Rogers. Rogers is an example of a poor target. Elias trying to be too cute, you don’t trade for flawed players hoping to fix them during a pennant race. I’m not saying to trade Holliday. I’m saying Norby was a better player right now for a team with playoff aspirations. Holliday could still be at AAA.
For a couple innings, sure I could see that. But, it seemed to wind up being less about the game and more about being a sort of analytics tutorial for the audience. At one point during the misplayed popup where two White Sox collided, the booth was busy chatting analytics and metrics. It's wasn't until after the play that KB chimed in on what we all saw on the field.
