Again, unproven prospect, didn't hit that well in Jupiter [pitchers park, so fair], hit worse in Beloit [small sample size, fair]. 20 in A+ ball. He won't be up for another two, three years probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsprt14 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 This is also a win because a lot of the reports were saying the Twins wanted TWO starting pitchers from the Marlins in any deal for Arraez. By only moving Pablo, we can possibly trade another SP without crippling our depth. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To call it a big overpay is laughable on a team with this offense Exactly, Pablo is essentially a #3 starter. Trading him for a legit on base threat who hits for a high average is exactly what the front office should be doing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also might not be, because knowing the Marlins, most of their current top prospects will be either traded or fizzled out by then anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus with the marlins lack of success developing hitters, I can’t believe they got away with this trade. Pablo is good, but that shoulder is a ticking time bomb. This is a good moment, be happy lol Yeah, get what you can get from him after a healthy season, and be glad you don't have to wait for it to have issues again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 In terms of the power, Arraez is kinda following the same path as Altuve, another slap hitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
