I like it, looks like left handed mashers will play well in STP, and he can play some outfield when Freddie makes it back.

Seems like a solid deal. Gave up very little for a serviceable replace until Freeman returns. I like it.

I'm pleased. This is about as good of a player as we could get without giving up something considerable.

My vision for the last 2 months assuming Freddie comes back on schedule is to have a bench consisting of power LH bat (adams), power RH bat (garcia), super utility (jace), 4th OF (?), and 2nd Catcher. With Rio has our starting 3B, I think that is a pretty formidable bench.

Solid pickup. Yepez is a longshot to make it to the bigs but I would have preferred to have traded pitching.

Adams looks like a NTC this offseason.

Cannot play the OF and obviously isn't playing 1B here if Freeman's healthy.

Maybe he gets super hot and we can flip him.

lets revisit this.


Wow we screwed up giving him away for almost nothing.

Yea, I didn't really understand it. We all know Adams isn't as good as his first month, but Yepez is literally a utility at best bat if he was a middle infielder, except he is a 1B, so his value is even lower. Seemed like a pretty strange move at the time and continues to look that way.
