Re: Broom, please & Fat Lady Singing~no E witches here~GT~9.14.25
I am not going to debate fwar to bwar, i use bwar, always have always will. I don't even know where to find fwar. I had comped Williamson to Bell but maybe an even better one could be little O. I know Omar was a SS but I am not really going to care. It could be Williamson changes positions but that would mean finding another 3rd baseman. I am not against doing that but I don't think it needs to be driven by ops. Anyway Omar makes Ben look like a power hitter, he didn't break a .600 ops until his 3rd season in the majors. Deal is, as I feel is the case with Ben, Omar could handle a bat. Basically i am not concerned where to hit Williamson in the lineup. I think you look at your roster, you want a certain amount of power, obp, bat to ball. I think the mariners have a pretty good mixture actually. You shouldn't need to be required to get a certain skill at a certain position

It's relative actually, my point is, between say Suarez at $30:mil over two seasons or Williamson, I probably go with Williamson.

fangraphs.com Great site. BW can't play SS in MLB. You know Ben had a sub .300 OBP right? No power and doesn't take walks. A starvation diet on death row for a hitter these days.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Mon Sep 15, 2025 9:33 pmI am not going to debate fwar to bwar, i use bwar, always have always will.

The only reason I won't hate it being BW is because there are zero other good options other than Murikami but again the ban on Japanese players needs to be lifted.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Mon Sep 15, 2025 11:53 pmIt's relative actually, my point is, between say Suarez at $30:mil over two seasons or Williamson, I probably go with Williamson.
