I think Pollock gets the most years and $. Maybe 4-5 yrs at $18-$20MM per season. Donaldson will get the most $/yr. Maybe 3-4 yrs, $25MM per season.

What do Red Sox do when Pedroia is activated

I think they'll ease him back in with 4-5 starts per week. Maybe 3 at 2B and 1-2 as the DH. I'm guessing Eduardo Nuñez can still get 4-5 starts per week between 2B/3B.

Please tell me this is Pujols’ last year and he rides off like A-Rod did

He is not walking away from $87MM and the Angels aren't going to eat that much $. If he continues to decline in '19, I think it becomes a more realistic consideration.

Would a swap of Chris Davis and Ian Desmond make any sense?
AvatarJason Martinez
5:32
Could be a good change of scenery deal, but Desmond is due around $40MM after '18 and Davis is due close to $90MM. I like Desmond on the Rockies in a super-utility role. Bud Black continues to use him a starting 1B.

How underrated is Mitch Haniger?
AvatarJason Martinez
5:35
I think he WAS very underrated. Shouldn't be anymore, although he's not quite a household name. Yet. In 607 plate appearances with the Mariners, he's slashing .286/.361/.515 with 27 HR, 34 2B. Does not appear to be a fluke.

should Braves be content with 3B using Camargo & Flaherty or should they go after Moustakas?
AvatarJason Martinez
5:37
They should be content with Camargo/Flaherty for the next 1- 1 1/2 months. Unless things fall completely apart, they should be in a position in mid-to-late July to make an aggressive move to put them in position to finish strong and make a run deep into the post-season.

When does Williamson get the call back up?
AvatarJason Martinez

Mac will likely be back with SF this weekend. Needs to stop having his potential breakout season interrupted.
