Maybe being out the entire season, helps him bounce back But we already put an $18mm bet on him for this year and lost. I would not double down with another $20mm. We could get a real good player or two with that kind of money rather than betting on the come for a comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played like a top10 catch in all of MLB. With how good defensively he is, he doesnt need to be a monster with the bat But that was my question lol With Kip + Puig likely gone who do they go after to strengthen the lineup past the 1-4 hitters. Not defensively Edited October 2, 2019 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to prefer great defense to good bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not defensively You could question other hitters and players to go with Lindor and them but Perez isn’t one of them. He isn’t the worst hitter for a catcher. Dude just cranked out 24HRs and 60+ RBIs. RBIs be better if he had more guys on base for him. You add in the amount of runs he save by nailing base stealers and whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdrawkcab321 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I would love to have Mickey back but I doubt he takes anything less than a pitching coach job and I doubt we fire Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, with what Carl was able to get out of Plutko, Plesac and Civale this year there is no way he is going anywhere. He has been brilliant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks1957 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Yup, I fear that Mickey back to Cleveland ship has sailed. There will be other opportunities at the managerial level for Mickey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say more on Dolan than the FO. They prolly suggest potential contracts to the Dolans and see if they get the ok to spend more. Just like a few years ago they got the OK to take on Miller's contract and buy out Bruce and etc. Indians have had the assets to makes some nice trades just never had the owner to take on those contracts of those players. I doubt the FO wanted to have that outfield starting the season last years. just had to work with what is given. When it comes to money, its always on the Dolans.
