Most on here wanted Brantley or Haniger. Brantley at 16 mil a year is alot, not sure the gap is that much over what Nick is making. And given Haniger isnt available, Nick for the money he got, hard to complain over it.
I do wish we had a legit RH OF'er. But at least Nick will get more time off this year.

Isn’t swihart 100 times better than Alex Jackson? I know he’s not been great but I’d like him.
Markakis is fine. I just didn’t want him, ender, catcher and Swanson all hitting around a 100 wrc. If Swanson is better that helps.
I still think neck should hit lead off.

Markakis is riding a .372 BABIP and 28.6% HR rate to a .896 OPS. I don't think it needs to be pointed out that all those numbers are unsustainable.
He is on pace to appear in all 162 games and 670 PAs, and has only started the game on the bench against a single LHP.
This is literally 2018 happening all over again.
