What was the last move that you've supported, reb?
I liked getting Iglesias for Avisail Garcia and Villarreal. I was OK, not thrilled, with the package of Cespedes, Speier and Alex Wilson for Porcello. I felt we did great getting Fulmer and Cessa for Cespedes. So that was probably the last deal I was OK with.
I don't like the deals made for Gose, Maybin, nor Price. I am not thrilled with the package we got for Price.
With a team laden with righthanded hitters, I value lefthanded hitters. Yet, we keep getting more righthanded hitters. Which is my primary objections to the Cepedes, Maybin and/or J.D. Martinez signing.
I also value players that take walks/patient hitters. Iglesias doesn't, but he supplies a skillset of need, defense and hits well for his position.
I have made no bones of the fact that I don't believe in signing or trading for relief pitchers/closers. So, Nathan, Hannrahan, Feliz, Chamberlain and Rodriguez goes against that core belief. It isn't against those players, per se, but the overvalue of relievers/closers.
