I didn't realize the Mariners took on so much of Bruce's deal. Hell, I would have given him a look at that rate.Apparently the Mariners ate $18.5m of the $21.3m owed to Jay Bruce, so maybe Encarnacion's money will not be such a sticking point should the Indians engage in trade talks to bring him back. With that said, would still like to give Bobby Bradley a fair shot at proving himself.
I tell ya the one that got away is Gio Urshella. I was watching the Yanks game yesterday and they literally could not get him out. Amazing a utility guy ar best, put on the pinstripes and becomes Don Mattingly.
Im more hung up on Diaz, Frazier or even Aguilar. Frazier was for Miller made all the sense in the world, but Diaz and Aguilar were big surprises IMO. I would have never expected those two guys to turn into what they have. We could have had a LF, 1B & DH all locked in pretty cheap.
