Una decepción, Análisis-Opinión | A disappointment, Analysis-Opinion | ESP-ENG
Taking advantage of the pause generated by all the events surrounding the All-Star game, which, by the way, has once again been won by the American League team, it continues to leave us space to analyze various things that have happened so far this season, and one of They are the performance of those players for which they were paid a lot of money for this 2022 and they have not performed as expected, managing to create an atmosphere of disappointment or to see that the investment has not generated its fruits.
UNA DECEPCIÓN / A DISAPPOINTMENT
For baseball connoisseurs, we are clear that to build a successful team you need more than money, of course economics is always important, but you have to know how much to spend, how much can be invested and what are we going to invest in, in the first case What I want to tell you about is Puerto Rican shortstop Javier Baez. We all know the ability he has on the pitch, and more so last season, which led him to increase his value in the market, and the Tigres de Detroit hired him for a large sum of money.
Such a sum is around 140 million dollars for a period of 6 seasons, which on paper looked very good but already in practice this season it has been owed, in numbers on the pitch for some it is not enough, but the feeling remains that a poor 213 batting average, with 9 homers and just 35 RBI, occupying fourth place in the central division for the Bengali troop that the money was not well invested..
Something also happens with Corey Seager, the now Rangers player, he came to the Texas team in the offseason, the blue team has paid a sum of 325 million dollars for him, for a period of 10 seasons, but in this case If you have put if you can say the numbers on the diamond, his 251 average, 52 RBIs and 22 full-round hits, seem insufficient for the problem itself of the team from the far "West".
The fourth place occupied by Texas, its division, leads us to the fact that that amount of money was too much to only cover the need for a single position, perhaps Seager at the end of this harvest will put the usual numbers, but it seems that money has been invested, that it has been possible to distribute in a better way or used in a greater number of players who could solve the real problems of the team.
One of the things that helped Marcus Semien to agree with Texas for the juicy sum of 175 million dollars and 7 seasons, was his great performance with the Toronto team last season, his sums were enough to open the eyes of others teams, and the Rangers were the ones who were available to unwrap that sum, which together with Seager's 325 add up to half a million dollars, the truth is that for me it is too much.
The barely 13 homers and the 43 runs brought to the plate for a poor average of 239 are nothing like what he did the previous season, added to the amount invested by Seager, this movement was perhaps one of the least intelligent, economically speaking for To summarize everything, not everything is money and the championships are not acquired by spending more or buying parts at a very high cost without having proper planning of your structure as a team.
DESDE LA OFICINA / FROM THE OFFICE
The only one who in numbers has met among these players has been Corey Seager, his numbers are the ones he usually puts up but they do not meet expectations because a single Seager does not make mountains, perhaps the mistake is having given him so much for someone than another probably I would also do it for much less, Baez and Semien if they have been left to owe and all this leads us to the conclusion that to form a good baseball team you must know what your needs are and what you want so that you can then go to the market to look for those players that will help you to a championship as long and demanding as the MLB, having a lot of money brings you closer to those valuable players but paying more than others for them does not guarantee success.

Buena publicación.
Concordamos con usted respecto a Seager. Lamentablemente, Texas tiene un problema enorme en el dugout y en las oficinas.
El manejo del equipo en el terreno y las contrataciones no rendidoras, son la marca de ese team.
Gracias por traer calidad al feed.
Gracias a ustedes por tomarse el tiempo de leer y apreciar mi trabajo, y si! efectivamente a pesar de que Seager ha puesto buenos números si se puede decir así, en lo particular se le dio mucho dinero! el si es valioso pero no vale tanto así...500 millones de dólares entre 2 jugadores me parece algo exagerado...veremos que pasa pero ellos no son la solución real del equipo!
