Mitch to the Gaints

[getnasty]

3 year 43 million. I'm a sucker for holding on to injury prone player to long and wish we could have gave him one last shot. Hope he can stay healthy.

I feel you, bro. Kind of hate to lose him, but not surprising, I guess.

Solidifies our need for a corner OF that can hit...ahem...Reynolds, anyone?

 

[Bobblehead]

Well, basically puts us back to where we were. Gonna need an OF, I hear Judge is still available.

I think they're ideally looking for a lefty power hitter (or switch), not a righty.

 

[sutz]

Reynolds is a switch hitter.

Caught some Jake and Stacy this morning. Lots of glowing talk about Reynolds. Sounds like it would be great get.

 

[DJrmb]

Yeah, I really like Reynolds for this team, even though he'd be coming from the NL. His power side is his left side too if I'm not mistaken...

I didn't check the splits on that one.

I was wrong. Looks like he's slightly more powerful from the right, but his slugging is only a few points lower from the left (442 vs 469) and his average is higher hitting lefty... Looks like he's a pretty true switch hitter which is nice, strong from both sides of the plate.

14 mil a year.. you have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.. ROFL...

Escept our new RF is better? healthy and consistent all star? and we got rid of winker who cant field? You cant be serious.. ROFL
Did you even see who we traded for? OMG

 

[Crizilla]

Damn.. thanks, Mitch. You deserve it

There is a better chance BURT Reynolds is in the Seattle OF next year. They made their significant additions already. They doubtfully have the trade capital to pull off a deal for a real player at this point. Plus they love "versatility", "athletic"..... Platoons. They are in the market for a couple light hitting platoon players & no name relievers. DiBozo has said they are done adding significant players.

We still need an outfielder, do we not? C'mon, try to keep up.

One of my favorite M's. But at 14.5 a year and with his injury history? I can see why they moved on. They also clearly did him a solid to let him test free agency.
Nothing but class from Mitch, and I'll be pulling for him.

 

[SonicHawk]

Mitch got paid like he hasnt been that injured and good for him, definitely won't stop rooting for him as a player. Glad he's in the NL.
