Markakis just announced he is sitting out the season. I will give you 2 choices to take his place. Pache or Waters, who do you want? Me I like Waters better. I have seen both play and I feel Drew is better prepared. I also hope they bring up Tre Harris to the utility squad. Great guy with alot of potential.
He's doing it for Covid fears, right? Can't say that I blame him. I'm sure he has reason to believe that it's not worth the risk (like relatives, children, etc.).
Haven't saw enough of either to say who is better, but I think pache will be given first opportunity
He's made like over 150 million in his career. With the prorated salaries, he'd only make like 1 million this year. Oh and he lost his starting job. He might just feel it not worth his time.Quote:

I would use Pache as trade bait for next years pitching staff. Waters is better and Tre Harris is an up and comer.Quote:

Is he still getting paid while sitting out?
I’m just glad Freddie, Will Smith, and others have already gotten covid so they can get over it and be ready all season. Based on Freddie’s past with injuries it was just a matter of time til he got it in season.
Would be interested to hear his actual symptoms that he’s experiencing.
Think he gets credit for the year and pro-rated salary .. whether he plays or not.Quote:
