I still haven't decided yet. One of them will leave without fail. Puigcadines. Why is it so hard

Is it Puig or Cadines. Who is destined to go home.

The Kiwoom Heroes have reached a time of decision. However, it is said that he has not been able to make a decision until the end. What's your concern.

Kiwoom was completely defeated 0-5 against the NC Dinos at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 18th. He was pressed by opposing ace Riley's pitch and almost dedicated a no-hitter record.




It has been reported that Kiwoom will replace foreign players during the three consecutive games in Ulsan. He had two foreign hitters this season, but when the collapse of the starting lineup did not work at all, he kicked out one of Puig and Cadines and filled the position with an Alcantara with abundant KBO experience.

Kiwoom does not deny that Alcantara is coming. An agreement has already been reached. It is a stage where all you have to do is make an official announcement.

The question is who to give up. One person is very good at it, and if one is sagging, it is easy to decide. However, just like fate, it is Yongho Sangbak. Puig has a batting average of 217 with six home runs and 20 RBIs in 39 games. Cardinez has a batting average of 229 with four homers and 23 RBIs in 41 games. It's a level that can't be said to be better. Both are below expectations. It's the same that he hit so hard at the beginning of the season, and suddenly fell.




What's your concern. In fact, it is a difficult problem.

If you only think about the ransom, you should keep Puig. Puig has a full guarantee of a million dollars. Cardinez costs $600,000 with options. If it's similar, it would feel like using an expensive player is less damaging.

However, considering team chemistry and defense comprehensively, this is another headache. Puig frequently exposed the appearance of some kind of screw loosening this season. Cardinez is sincere. Of course, Puig's previous feeling of 'makdong' has almost disappeared, with his head-to-head thinking and training with the coaching staff to escape the continued sluggishness.




The possibility of a rebound evaluated by the coaching staff is also an important evaluation factor. He's sluggish right now, but this season will be tough with a player who can rebound if he catches a little "this part" and if he's in the current state We need to check this issue clearly and move on. In a way, this may be the most important factor in the choice.

Kiwoom stressed that nothing has been decided until the end of the NC match on the 18th. While the players were reading all the replacement articles, they must have considered the fact that if someone is known to be the target, their morale would inevitably drop. And I also feel like I'm really thinking about it. After the NC match, a Kiwoom official said "I didn't hear anything about which players were replaced."
