Marcell Ozuna Watch - (Update: Traded to Cards Pg. 13)

Sounds like it's first and goal.

in shotgun formation

I wonder if they'll find a way to bunt somehow

I was assuming a pickoff.

Pam: Home run Michael.
Jim: You set the bar so high.
Michael: That was a bunt.

In your opinion, was Ozuna's year a breakout or an anomaly?

Dave Cameron

More the latter.

I think he's a nice hitter, not a great one.

I will reserve my judgement of this comment until I find out if Ozuna is a Cardinal or not.

Thoughts on the rumored Ozuna deal? Flaherty, Alcantara + is a lot to give up for a guy with 2 years left on his deal. Would the Cardinals be better off pushing in more chips (or taking back more dead money) to land Yelich?

Dave Cameron

Yeah, it seems like an overpay to me.
12:35
But STL is in asset consolidation mode so they probably feel they have to overpay.

that's my line of thinking as well, which i hope is why the pieces we send aren't too great/over the top.

his bad years he's had are BAAAAD...and the good ones (up until 2017 obv) were basically piscotty

Bad years? He's had 1 bad year out of 4.

When did Piscotty have a 4.5 bWAR? Ozuna did that in his second year.

Ozuna has played 4 full seasons (First year he played 70 games)

He's hit 23 HRs at least every year, and has a WAR of 4.5, 0.4, 2.5, 5.8

Piscotty has had 2 full years, his best year he hit 22 HRs and had a WAR of 2.9.

Which would be Ozuna's 3rd best year, by a mile. So, I don't see how they're similar or really close.

[go birds]

This is why i wanted to drain out pitching prospect pool for guys like yelich and machado. ozuna will be a decent bat here for 2 years then bone out.

Then we will be back at square one
