I signed him because the math said that he was more than a POT 12 and I liked his build. He's popped POT twice and his now a POT 14 and still gaining at 28y. https://brokenbat.org/player/198788

His power didn't really manifest until he was (arguably) over age / over developed for his placement. But his GB:FB has trended the right direction as he's developed. Reason to think there is something behind the power. Trying out new 2B suggests Suarez wore out his welcome. Love is pretty sweet for a 1-claimer. That was the first year of the new draft when everyone's rosters were jammed. Jealous of those who were able to go gem shopping at the time. Once you've played a while, finding those guys becomes the fun part of it all Ya. Panning 11 pots for gold is what the game has become about for me.

A good defender, but he slipped up quite a bit last season (along with most of the team). Ortiz looks like he has some upside, but desperately needs playing time. Can't have two vLHP 2B on the roster at the same time

I'll never understand teams who put themselves through a 5 year rebuild. Doesn't seem like much fun to me. At the very least I would keep a few star players around. Why not cut Owen? More expensive and EOL at 35 years old. If you are curious, Boulder (Legends) picked him up. Updated Wednesday, June 2 2021 @ 12:17:19 am PDT
