Grossman and analytics

[MadduxFanII]

We tried for Dayton Moore both times but were denied the pleasure of interviewing by Kansas City.

The other rumored candidates:

Ex Marlins GM Dan Jennings
Dan O’Dowd

We dodged a hell storm of bullets

Not hiring Dan O'Dowd is dodging multiple nuclear missile strikes.

Good lord, was O'Dowd actually the other option?

I think it was Dayton Moore but thank god we got AA lol.

It was O’Dowd after KC made it clear that Moore wasn’t an option.

Grossman is striking out almost 32% of the time with the Braves and his BABIP has jumped 50 points since he left the Tigers…in 41 PAs.

Let’s get a bit more of a sample size before we all cheer for AA to once again sign a guy they got for free at the deadline after he has a good month. Or do we want to collect a full roster of Rosario/Duvall/Grossman types?

But the sixth one is free.

I'd prefer a difference maker in LF.

If we are looking at Rosario in LF, then having a guy who can hit LH well is a good thing. We do need some bench bats as well.

If we can get a guy for under 5 million for one year who mashes LH, that is good IMO. No idea if he is the guy. HE probably has to decide if he wants to play more or be on a contender.
