What do we make of Cuthbert's bat? He was quite young, 23, and not many rookies at 23 get 500+ PA. In fact, only 65 have since the 1969 divisional setup. Of those (wRC+):
40. Cuthbert 94 49. Febles 87 50. Gordon 87 61. Alshittys 62 The other 3 had really good defense/speed metrics tho which made them more valuable. While most of the 65 players on this list ended up being regulars for quite some time, most below Cuthbert didn't end up becoming good hitters. In fact they were mostly awful, but many (Ozzie Smith, Wilie Tavares, Billy Hamilton etc) had other skills that not only brought them up - but kept them up. Cuthbert doesn't. The top 6? Fred Lynn, McGwire, Dusty Baker, Alvin Davis, Bagwell, Kris Bryant, so the point here seems pretty obv |

Garcia is a piece that makes sense for Cain, but he would have to be a secondary piece. Matt Adams? No ****ing thank you. Mozeliak ****ed up by not moving Adams when his value was artificially high a few years back. KC isn't going to bail him out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. I have never been that high on Wong and still am not. Neither one of those guys is enough of a return for Cain as the primary piece, and they're not enough combined, either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fact nobody uses a 3+ DH platoon means that's its a terrible idea.

I think it would mean Cuthbert is the DH 100-110 games, with him getting 30-35 starts at 3B to rest Moustakas, Moustakas getting 20-25 games at DH, and the rest of the DH days being used to give Gordon and Cain a 1/2 day off each week. That rotating DH plan works a little better if you have a super util guy who's a credible bat. Steve Pearce is not likely to break the bank but could make sense there. Could get 140 games parceled out amongst 1b, 2B, 3b, LF and rf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
