Suarez struck out 36% of the time in 2023. Let's hope he improves on that rate in 2024. He's not in his 20s anymore.

Being in Seattle, I watch a fair amount of the M’s. Geno has power but does strike out alot. He’ll probably benefit from playing in a more hitter friendly park than T-mobile though, which is notoriously hard on hitters. His defense is legit

I like the move but I have to say if you strike out that much it really doesn’t matter how hitter friendly a park may be lol

Reynold’s strikeouts were acceptable b/c of his power. Suarez doesn’t have that kind of pop.
I think you need to compare home run numbers. Suarez is a better home run hitter

Yeah a few years back. He slugged .391 last year.

Suarez hit 49 home runs in a season. What are you talking about

He had one bad year and it was still over 20 hrs and a great WAR. Do you buy into the one bad year or the career numbers

Talking about the current player

Mark Reynolds 13 seasons Total WAR 6.8
Eugenio Suarez 10 seasons Total WAR 20.5
The only similarities between them is the strikeouts.

You are basing it off an outlier year rather than looking at a three year trend.

He will turn 33 next year so I don’t expect the power to suddenly increase again unless he was playing thru injuries last year.

His two year WAR is the #9 third baseman in baseball.
Was it better watching guys playing 3rd last year ground into DP who were not hitting homeruns anyway? I will take the Ks for a power hitting reg 3rd baseman @ $14M

Thank You Paul!
My son is a Reds fan, so I follow them a bit. We go to spring training practices, etc.
Geno is a presence and you all will love him.
Great clubhouse and community guy.
Good defender. Streaky with the bat with a good amount of pop.
Maybe his power numbers were inflated a little in the great american bandbox. Maybe they were deflated a little in a tougher Seattle stadium.
I think he'll fit well into AZ and the NL West stadiums
For essentially a free upgrade, I'm not seeing a downside to pulling this move

A league average 3B is an upgrade yes. We’re all in agreement about that.
