GDT: Tigers @ Braves 4/29 : Ritchie Rich Time

I really struggle to assume that someone who breaks out 3-4 years after we traded them would have broken out with us and been the same player if they stayed. Langeliers is pretty dang good now, but he has been developed by the A’s for five years. It seems wrong to assume that has no bearing on the player he became.

Braves certainly shouldn't be assumed to develop a catcher
 
Is there a reason we are holding back Suarez here? He hasn't pitched in 4 days.

Nevermind. Thought it was the 9th.

I think added lango is fair...but I also think Olson starts to separate the nest few years to help balance..

I will say I didnt see lango developing into this hitting beast

Eh… the trade wasn’t Freeman + Langeliers for Olson. No need to put a thumb on the scale


If we’re doing the whole trade machine thing, then might as well factor in $ per WAR which puts an even bigger distance between Olson and FF

Huh? FF was money only. Olson was money and trade (langeliers+)

For the 1000000x time

FF took less money from the dodgers than the Braves offered.

He chose to leave

...And then cried like a biatch causing the Kershaw to remind him he was a Dodgerlol

With how everything played out, I also totally get what some of y'all have said, and I think I'm there now myself, where I'm more than happy with Matt Olson, not just because of his production, but because he actually wanted to be herelol
