I’m usually onboard with role players. They are crucial to success. But is Cajuste a role player ? He can’t get on the field and when he does, is he any better than a rando you found in the Spring and that - by December - should know a thing or two.Don't forget, securing someone like Cajuste in March basically ensures you retain the guy you know vs the potential unknowns who could emerge. People tend to undervalue known role players, not realizing how important it is to keep them in the fold until you at least have an unknown who has proven they can get the job done. The worst part about last year is that as bad as it was, things actually could have been worse and it's guys like this who kept it from potentially reaching that point.
This team has very few building blocks atm. So I am much less invested in individuals. I’m fine blowing it all up. Mac / Judon / M Jones / J Jones / Slater…. I mean, these guys have contributed. But are they difference makers ? Like, for SB contention ?
