Wait...no...check that. Definitely the best trade he's pulled off.
Justin Wilson for Francisco Cervelli.
IDK...that was pretty good. Yes. But, Cervelli was not good in 2016 or 17, when he was actually healthy enough to play. Great 2015, and a great start to this year so far, so we'll see. Wilson was pretty filthy in 13 and 14. I get it...trade a LOOGY for a starter any day of the week. But Wilson brought something to the team when he was here. Hudson was straight awful last year.
Yeah I think Cervelli's intangibles, his 3.1 War 2015 was enough to win trade, maybe not make it best Neal trade ever. 2016 1.6 WAR. 2017 .7 WAR.
2018 .7 so far, tied for 2nd amongst all catchers
let's hope for health this year!
I still believe Diaz is our best catcher this year. Regardless, even if you believe Cervelli > Diaz, I don't think there's much debate that Diaz > Stewart. So, hopefully Diaz should be able to spell him a bit more than Stewart did in the past. Which should hopefully translate to Cervelli being on the field more this year.
