you have to start somewhere in fixing this infield and it is going to cost the team which ever way it goes. so why not Mancini and Arenado? Andrus is solid at SS so that leaves Odor as the major roadblock
Odor is a cancer to this team and needs to be exterminated so the team can improve. He is and will keep hurting this team until he is seated or gone. Spending top tier prospects now will hurt as has in the past. I'm ok with your suggestion but selling the farm with Odor still on board is not helping.

Lee Steven's and Nelson Cruz - two good reasons to hold out hope that Mazara eventually puts it all together.

Very well could be. Too many LHBs. Always thought he was a 1B candidate

Just looks like baseball gets more and more expensive for all associated.

They are guesses that use math as well as some other things. It is funny how many folks respect opinions and theories if you mix in some math, especially if you use a complicated formula. Being good at coming up with complicated formulas does not necessarily equate to your theories being correct. The math might be fantastic, but the numbers you plug in may not be weighted correctly if your formula is off due to flawed theories.

That ship probably sailed when we lowballed our offer for Rendon. That is the bad thing about mistakes, you are forced to live with them.
Or you move on to the next possibility learning from the mistake

When you make a mistake like we did with Odor you can't let it affect the rest of the team which it will if we sit on our hands and do nothing except moan about him. We have to address our needs at 3B and 1B or everything else we've done with the signing/trading for Kluber, Gibson, Lyles and Chirinos is just pissing into the wind

You definitely need to learn, but you still have to live with it, the consequences that is.

Someone can moan about 2B just as much as anyone can about other positions.

I agree to a degree with Scottsman that we need to keep trying to put our best foot forward regardless of missed opportunities. That doesn't mean we just go crazy and throw caution to the wind. But we all can see that we are not in a rebuild and we need to improve this team when possible. And we all also know it will not all happen in one season. There are some things that we have done that I am optimistic about and I try and focus on those things. We all know what pissed us off about Rendon but it's done. And in the field we have a lot of defensive holes. Other than Guzman, Gallo, Andrus, and yes even Odor at times who ranked 12th in MLB defensively this past year which is not great but was 4th in 2018 we have a really weak defense overall.
