Craig Mish defends the Yelich trade


Recommended Posts

Because Stanton was a DH, played hurt for three months while Judge was out and he couldn't rest, and was playing in the bright lights of NYC.

 

Stantons power plays everywhere, Yelich doesnt. His home runs are from solid contact, not pure power.

 

Edit:

Stanton also hit 38, not 30.

 

ALSO ALSO; you cant expect someone to hit 40 HR in a half every season.

 

AND AND AND: he batted all of 2017 with Yelich and Ozuna behind him and Gordon in front. When Stanton got hot last august with 18 HR, they were there for him *insert friends click click click sound*

 

AND AND AND AND: He was missing Judge for half of july and august, Sanchez all of August.

 

AND AND AND AND AND: yeah.

 

Ok, so your argument that Yelich was always going to be a decent player here and would only be a superstar if he left applies only to him, selectively, and not to anyone else.  Makes no sense to me.

Don't twist my words. Every player is different. In Yelich's case a change in environment complimented his skillset and his demeanor.

 

In Stantons, being relied upon as the only pure power threat in an injury riddled lineup while himself injured didn't compliment his skillset.

 

Plenty of players drown and thrive when they change teams, Jose Bautista for example. Others flounder (Hanley, Pablo Sandoval, Jose Reyes).

Agreed. That guy is being a dick.
