    Good thing Jason can hit a baseball. Even better than a 31 year old Markakis...
    All you need is Hart and Cox.

    That's an interesting way to put it. Or more precisely which is better Jason Heyward plus a replacement level player in left or two Markakises. I dare say my choice for over the next four years would be Jason and the replacement player.

    The proper plural form of Markakis is Mukaki.

    Assuming Markakis isn't already in a decline and is probably already being overpaid.

    Aging patterns for defense is an area that needs more research. But there are quite a few 30something players who remain excellent defenders. Guys like Hardy, Pedroia, Headley, Peralta, Gordon, Kinsler, Zobrist, Utley, Rollins.

    Also it will probably take Markakis the entire length of his contract to equal one year of Heyward. That's terrible value for us.

    Has anyone said Markakis > Jason?

    Is Jason worth 25 mil a year on top of 6 years of Jenkins, 4 of Miller (maybe more if they extend him), and 4 of Markakis at 11ish a year?

    Not impressed. Makes no sense vis a vis the Heyward deal. In fact Im really not impressed with the Hart Regime at this point.
