IF they are winning because of guys like Avi, Anderson, & Davidson playing well, I am 100% fine with another 75 win season. |

I told you there would be positive side effects to getting rid of Sale and Eaton. Stupid that they didn't get rid of Frazier, who is already tanking his trade value and poaching PA's from Saladino and Davidson. |

I don't think there was a market for Frazier, at least not without eating a ton of his salary, not to mention the team acquiring him would have to enter either arbitration or offer him a new deal. Considering Chris Carter--arguably more of a two-dimensional run-generating talent than Frazier is--got a measly $3.5MM from the Yankees, I doubt there was much interest in a guy making $6.5MM who was 20 points worse in wOBA. |

He is making 12, not 6. He is a much more versatile player than Carter but that does seem excessive in comparison. |

Stupid that they didn't get rid of Frazier, who is already tanking his trade value and poaching PA's from Saladino and Davidson. KobiAshe is the one stealing AB from Davidson. Still, I like the idea of bringing him along slowly to start the year in a platoon. I want that platoon to end in the second half if he has shown himself worthy. |

He was making 7.5 last year (I mis-typed first time around), according to Cot's, hence the past tense. |
