IMO they should simply build around guys who get on base, make good swing decisions, have speed, have power, play great defense, and have impeccable baseball IQ, coachability and work ethic.
Not really sure what they’re waiting for.
While I don’t think they’ll get anything interesting for him, I can understand better teams preferring to acquire him for a lottery ticket prospect later in the season when they’re ready for him to eat innings rather than signing him earlier and clogging up a roster spot when the need might not be as critical.
I understand the concept of needing a body on the pitching side. You need guys to eat innings.
But finding yourself in a position where you “need a body” at first fucking base is so pathetic.
None of us know if that’s all Venable or if he’s receiving direction from Getz. And if it is Venable, Getz has done nothing to override those decisions.
Thats all to say that I’m willing to give Venable some benefit of the doubt, but Getz not so much.
Imagine being told in 2021 that in 4 years, every player from the team will be gone but TLR will still be with the organization.
That’s just fucking cruel.
