Yeah, he's pretty clutch but batting 250 playing Dh makes it far fetched to be mvps. If Chapman or laureano can have a complete season of what they did after the break or when he got called up, I'd say they'd be in the running over him. Chapman's made trading Josh Donaldson look genius. Even after he got the mvp. But alas, as a life long a's fan, the constant turn over rate is always in the back of the mind. Theres about 6 to 7 dudes who will get awesome offers elsewhere. Bonafide all star potential. Hopefully the front office is serious about keeping a "core".
I'm hoping Melvin doesn't throw this dude in thinking he's going to do anything, from all I've seen from him over the years is he gives dudes way to many opportunities when they flat out dont got it.
It’s a business. Owners are trying to Keep things as cheap as possible.
As a lifelong oakland fan, yes.
It’s shouldn’t have to be THAT cheap tho. That’s just a disgrace to the fans
Thats why I say an a's fan is truly a diehard baseball fan. The game itself is the only positive consistency we've had.
