Could improve by 3-4 wins with one of the marquee FAs available though, and still keep DeJong around for 1 WAR for spot starts/2B/UT.cardsfantx wrote: ↑August 24 21, 7:08 pmHe’s been bad this year, and still has a 1.3 WAR
Got 16 HRs and plays solid defense…we have a lot bigger issues than SS IMO (esp with sosa doing well)

But they let wong walk over 12 million, but resign a much worse aging player in yadi for 10 million
So I don’t have very much faith that we do things that are smart

Goes without saying that they play different positions. The Cardinals had a replacement for Wong, who has done almost as well, for a fraction of the cost.cardsfantx wrote: ↑August 25 21, 7:16 amcare to explain?dmarx114 wrote: ↑August 25 21, 7:05 amThis isn't apples to apples.cardsfantx wrote: ↑August 25 21, 6:53 amHey I’m all for that…Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑August 24 21, 11:52 pmCould improve by 3-4 wins with one of the marquee FAs available though, and still keep DeJong around for 1 WAR for spot starts/2B/UT.cardsfantx wrote: ↑August 24 21, 7:08 pmHe’s been bad this year, and still has a 1.3 WAR

Edman has not been comparable to Wong...wong has him more than doubled in WAR in 200 less PAdmarx114 wrote: ↑August 25 21, 7:22 amGoes without saying that they play different positions.

Was anyone here comfortable starting Knizer for 100 games? The Mets signed James McCann for $8mm a year for 4 years. He's been a train wreck. Yadi is so freaking valuable to our team. The downgrade from him to any realistic replacement would have been drastic.
Picking Yadi over Wong was a very smart decision.
And this is why the "How good is Yadi thread" exists.cardsfantx wrote: ↑August 25 21, 7:48 amEdman has not been comparable to Wong...wong has him more than doubled in WAR in 200 less PAdmarx114 wrote: ↑August 25 21, 7:22 amGoes without saying that they play different positions.

and yes, Knizner could duplicate (as a minimum) what Yadi does currently
if they let Wong walk, they should do the same with Yadi
Wong has twice as much fWAR than Edman in like 200 less PAs.
