Another JeDi mind trick. “These are not the droids we’re looking for,” he said, when asked about 1B-men with terrible Eye.
Yet, it turns out we sort of were.
And, to tell you the truth, I sort of applaud. Healy is dirt cheap, hit.300+ just a year ago and hits the ball over fences at an appealing clip.
vR, you ask? .853 in ‘16, .717 in ‘17. Of course, it does look a bit like the league’s RHP’s booked him last season: His vR OPS dropped while his vR Eye went from 10/48 to 16/112. LHP’s he rakes, .314-.353.-534 for his career.
Here’s to hoping Edgar the “Zunino Whisperer” can return Healy to his ‘16 vR form.
So now we go get Jackie Bradley Jr?
Pagan was expendable. Healy frees up a ton of cash. The next move will be cool to see.
