I don’t mind it. The dude hasn’t done much yet but if all we gave up is some of monforts money, then I don’t have an issue.
Miller is… not good.
Ah, a below replacement level veteran utility infielder who can’t hit lefties and thus can’t even be a short-side platoon option if someone gets hurt. I was starting to think this team had hit its head somewhere when they had a rookie like Schunk fill that role instead. Gotta keep that veteran presence locked in!
Add on: high likelihood that Miller is the 2025 IF version of 2024 Jake Cave. Hopefully with less than 350ish wasted PAs because someone got hurt and Buddy can’t fathom playing unproven and volatile rookies.
It’s fine. Build some depth until Amador is ready
OPS+ of 13 (100 is replacement level). Oof.
FWIW, he’s hit well in the minors, with a .362 lifetime OBP
Great job filling these role players on the cheap so we can go out and get Cole or Snell.
See how he looks in the spring and send him to Albuquerque. Can’t have too much defensive depth hanging around when Rodgers, or somebody else gets hurt.
How can we get a player with positive WAR
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THIS ~~SIGNING~~ ACQUISITION THEN YOU DON’T LIKE ROCKIES BASEBALL!!!
Surely we could get Trevor Bauer for minimum salary right?
If this was a non-roster spring training invitee I would understand it.
World Series, here we come!
The Rockies big move.
I see what’s going on here. Rockies buying low again hoping for a return to a previous season. On brand.
