Yep, that idea was big. Are those the Big Three of Dipoto's ideas thus far?
Nelson Cruz has been worth $38.4M, $33.5 and $30.5M in his first three years, and that is with Fangraphs' DH paradigm probably underestimating his value. Compared to his $14M salary, he's paid well under half his value.
As you know Boomstick has led the AL in homers during his time as a Mariner - i.e., the AL's BEST home run hitter. With an average season of 42 HR and 106 RBI since 2015, in RBI he is #2 to Encarnacion.
