Free Agent Poll: Seiya Suzuki
We have been doing this for a few years now: looking at the top free agents, using the contract Ben Clemens suggests he’ll get, and asking whether you would like the Jays to give him that contract. This year, the lockout makes it a little more complicated. Keith Law’s list is here. Ben Clemens’ is here.
Number two on Ben Clemens’ list and number four on Keith Law’s list is Seiya Suzuki. Suzuki is 32, he turns 33 next August. He’s played five seasons with the Cubs, with a .269/.351/.472 line in 675 games. He has 113 home runs, 316 walks and 719 strikeouts.
This past season, he put up 5.1 bWAR (the best of his career) with a .270/.368/.473 line, with 26 home runs, 81 walks and 155 strikeouts.
