@P2WFantasy I could not disagree more and there are plenty of examples why (Harmon’s track record speaks for itself). Film is EASIER than you think for anyone with a firm base of knowledge of the sport and I really think people who say this sort of stuff are gatekeeping.
@bryce_spalding He makes the current roster better and has massive upside. Also pushes Friedl to a corner, improving defense at 2 positions with 1 move. It’s all about the opportunity cost- which prospects are involved and how much of the contract we’re taking on. Also can’t be the only addition
@HeyGingersaurus I’d like to see McLain work in CF too. Has some prior experience there and even if his bat doesn’t fully rebound he can provide a lot of value with that versatility.
