Sure, but not always. Looking over the games from 2025, Sale didn't make his first road ST appearance until ST was almost over last year. Meanwhile Schwelly, Ian Anderson, AJSS, and Elder took the bulk of the road games, along with a few non roster invitees sprinkled in. I'd be willing to bet...

The only projected starter making the trip is Dubon. So Strider not going seems to be overblown

Seahawks were clearly the best team though. Seahawks, Rams, and Bills were easily the best overall teams this year.

Gil has been one of my favorites for awhile. If the power continues to trend up, he'll fly up the prospect list with a speed/power combo at SS.

With everything that has gone wrong over the last year, it's easy to forget that this is still a pretty amazing lineup if guys can stay healthy and just hit at their career levels

If he puts together another 4+ win season at 2b, he'll get 200 million.

So not a serious answer because you don't want to admit the truth. Got it.

Allegedly

That was tongue in cheek in case you couldn't tell

That's not true

I think it's mostly because he's short, plays CF (though not sure if he can stay there ), and has a good amount of power and speed.

Drew Burress seems to get a lot of Corbin Carroll comps. I could get on board with that. Doesn't hurt that he is from our backyard too.

I can understand the logic in regards to years and age. I even understood it at the time. But that's the benefit of hindsight. We can evaluate whether it was a good decision or not. Considering how well Freeman has aged and the acquisition cost of Olson, it's a no brainer AA made the wrong choice.

Its not being disingenuous. I wasn't talking about Freddie taking less money to go to LA. I was replying to the part of his post about us offering more money to Freddie than they gave to Olson. That part is not true, at least in total money. Olson was offered 168m guaranteed. Freddie was...

Ryan had at least 2 of Tony G, Roddy White, Julio Jones, and Calvin Ridley for like 80% of this career.

Sorry I was off on the years. Olson extension was 8/168. Even if total AAV wasn't similar, the total number was easily better than we offered Freeman. Freddie and his agent certainly hold some blame. But AA holding firm on 5 years and then committing more money (and prospects) to Olson was...

Incorrect. Freddie was holding out for 6 years. We gave 6 years to Olson at roughly the same AAV we had offered to Freddie. If we had offered 6/160 to Freeman, he'd be here now.

Not true. At least in total dollars.

We could have kept Freeman for the same contract we ended up giving Olson. And we could have kept the prospect package that included a catcher that would end up being a 3-4fwar catcher. Even as well as Olson has played for us, the opportunity cost makes that a net negative.

The impact of most of those were minimal. The BP moves were largely not super significant. His high impact additions that were not net negative were Sale, Jansen, and Iggy. In 4 years. That's a problem.
