They also like Kieboom - hopefully he develops more over this next year - plus they have Howie back and Cabrera. They have 4 guys who can play 1st, 2nd and 3rd base. Cabrera can also play SS, as can Castro and Kieboom so they have 4 players that can play SS as well.

I don’t understand why Zimm & Adams haven’t been re-signed. It’s clear we need them both, especially now with Rendon gone for their offense.

Slateman Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Zim will be back. Or he'll retire. Adams can stay away. He's done. With Cabrera and Castro signed, the Nats can platoon Howie and Zim at first. Edited January 6, 2020 by Slateman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love thrm but I can’t trust on the combo of Zimmerman - always injured - to stay healthy. Matt Adams should be kept IMO bc he’s in his prime and bc of the age/injury history of Zimmerman/Kendrick.

Also a marketed improvement over Dozier in the shirtless department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t follow it like I do football and basketball bc it’s boring. I really only pay attention to the playoffs. If you say they should get this other dude, I defer to you.

Thames is a little more versatile so I get that, but his K ratio is about the same as Adams, and the HR ratio is the same too. What'd you'd get extra is the walks and higher average which is better for leverage situations but how much more is he going to cost?

Thanks for explaining that bc I knew zippy about that before you did. Edited January 6, 2020 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
