He’s been overlooked now for several years by “those in the know”(supposedly). It doesn’t make much sense.

If you possibly have a future Upton in your system who doesn’t cost you 20 million dollars a year, you should probably consider that as a businessman. Shouldn’t
you?The strong trend in MLB is to develop from within. Cards of course are a part of that. Have been for a long time. The grass is always greener. Why is that? Bignameitis?
Upton is hitting home runs at a 1 per 20 PA rate. DeJong is hitting home runs at a 1 per 14.5 PA rate.
Who’d have ever thunk it. Can it last? No one knows, but he sure looks good right now. Maybe we should think twice about blocking
the Martinez, Pham, Grichuk, Piscotty, O’Neill, Adolis Garcia, Arozarena, Sierra, etc. crowd with an Upton type until we see how our own players develop and perform at the major league level.I don’t care if a pitch isn’t to your liking, if it’s anywhere close in that situation you can’t leave the bat on your shoulder.
I take a lot of things into consideration. Age for level, stats, scouting reports, etc. Your comment about Adolis was facetious. I’m sorry to have responded to it.
In December, BA had Sosa as our #8 prospect and Alveraz as our #10 prospect for 2017. So much for “those in the know”.
In their mind, probably no reason to make a move as long as they keep winning. Except perhaps to see if they can pawn off Cecil on somebody.
I mentioned Wong as set.
Does Diaz have enough consistent power to be a productive major league third baseman? How does he compare to Wisdom?
With Fowler, Grichuk (who they’re still holding out hope for), Piscotty (same as Grichuk), Pham, Martinez, Bader, O’Neill, Adolis Garcia, Sierra, Arozarena, etc. I don’t see them trading for a big bat outfielder. They’ll see which cream rises to the top. Trading some pitching for a proven major league third baseman is another thing. Just MHO.
