he's one of the most prolific power hitters in the game. you let him go and he hits 45 4 years in a row for someone else. you keep him and he hits 30 and bats .200 for you. he has his weaknesses, but you need pop in your lineup and he provides as much as anybody. it's like schwarber. he's not as valuable overall as his HR's make him seem, but he's a scary guy to face. i'd extend him. Previous Message Morel would be a fantastic return for Alonso. I think Mets fans are way overvaluing Alonso. He’s a 3.5 WAR player that’s projected to make $22MM. Yeah, you don’t have to give him a long term deal, but there’s not much excess value there. Previous Message Previous Message
