Whose value lessened holding onto after the season started

[RichieRichSTL]

Arenado
- he proved he was in decline

Fedde
- Obvious

Pallente
- proved he wasnt a great option to start

Gorman/Walker
- One more year older, one more year removed from best season

Nootbaar
- Most healthy, but produced 4th starter numbers

Helsley
- Maybe not much but some

‐--‐---

Who gained value from start of year

Matz
- Reinvented as effective reliever, can still spot start

Donovan
- A solid year

Scott
- Showed some positive movement. Has to improve his average

Liberatore/McGreevy

Burleson
- Marginal improvement. He can still hit, but D?

Herrera
- proved he can hit

Stayed even

Mikolas
- Started the year horrible deficit value, ended as such. Slightly more respectable innings eater from last year.

Gray
- Overpay and a bit disappointing. But good arm on staff, just will require eating salary.

Contreras


‐------

Overall Mo lost some value on players this season
- some he kept too long
- some proved maybe they dont belong
- some proved value

I suppose if we move on from Nootbaar, are closer to moving on from Gorman and/or Walker, have Liberatore/ McGreevy show something, got a little return on Matz/Helsley, got clarity on Pallante, had Gray show he's not an ace, it wasnt a total loss. We know more thsn we did at the start of the season.
