Upon some reflection Adam Dunn had to be one of the most naturally talented athletes ever because he displayed a total "I don't give a shit" attitudeAll In. Reminds me of the Dunn days.

surprised that Sano could still play 3B in the first place. Does not seem like he is the smooothest of athletes --- and his effort does not seem to be particularly stellar.

Problem is they need to do one of 2 things.....they either need to go all out and try to win with him the next 2 seasons, or deal him now and get the most you can for him. well, I guess his value will be just as high at deadline so could still deal him then.the case AGAINST signing Francisco Lindor:
I want the Indians to resign Lindor. He is one of the best players in franchise history. He is easily a top 10, if not top 5 players in the game.
He plays a premium position, and has all 5 tools, and is extremel marketable.
having said all that-- this is why i would be hesitant to give him the deal he wants.
-The Indians have lindor for 2 more years---- for his age 26 and 27 seasons. He will be a free agent before his age 28 season.
His deal will be AT LEAST 9 years. Likely between 10 and 12 years.
Not many players can keep up being great past age 32.
Lindor would still be one of the top playersi n baseball for likely his age 28, 29, 30 seasons. He MIGHT be a top 10 players for his age 31 and 32 seasons, but that is far from guaranteed. He will likely decline to being a very good but not top level all star level player for his age 33, 34 seasons.
Everything after that its just plain guessing.
So, say he gets a 10 year deal (and he could easily get a 12 year deal- Harper got 13).
3 years he is still probably at the top of his power
3 years after that he is still great
3 years after that he is good- maybe
If you could guaranty me THIS years Frankie Lindor for all 10 years of hsi contract- pay him no matter what the cost. But you simply cant. And the Indians cant pay a solid player 35 million a year for a 4-5 year period.
Was throwing shit at that point in 2009.@broncosmitty they're showing the game 163 between the Twins and Tigers in 2009 on MLB Network now. Just got to the part where Brandon Inge got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, but the umpire said it didn't hit him.
