Who was the old school manager who said something to the effect of "...give a whole team of shortstops and I will win a lot of game...?"
Of course the point is that a guy who can play SS can do a lot of things well. (Just remembered that quote;-))
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
I am only sad about Sobotka leaving because no more Frank Sobotka memes.

That's it in a nutshell. Arcia is basically Camargo who can play SS and Adrianza is Camargo who can play SS. Arcia is younger and did show some power one season (of course, so did Camargo). I'm not going to overthink it, but it just seems like a meh-for-double meh kind of deal.
2015 me is super excited.

How about this one?
Give me a team of All-World players that strikes out 35% of the time, and I'll show you a team that sucks.
How about running the numbers on exactly how well the ENTIRE staff has to pitch if this keeps up?
The high K-Rate didn't matter in 60 games in 2020, but there's no way this team is worth a *hit if the offense takes the reasonably-expected step back AND continues to keep the fans cool with the breeze.

Circling back around to this FWIW...
A player's arbitration salary becomes guaranteed if he's on the 25/26-Man Roster when the season begins. (https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transac...nteed-contract)
No savings for releasing Camargo/Jackson/Dayton at this point - THAT'S why they shouldn't have been offered arbitration this past winter. Letting Camargo go at this point to keep both Arcia and Adrianza makes those guys significantly more expensive.
