Just because you think you’re right. Lots of hubris in here.

If they wanted him to play, absolutely. If Hahn and JR don't want him to, then he sits. All they re obligated .to do is pay him

He doesn’t have to play. He can be on the team all he wants. The manager doesn’t have to pitch him

So you think Giolito would look like JJ Watt in pads…

Along the lines of massive weight loss however, what made Eloy think he can play 25-30 lbs overweight? Inquiring minds want to know how you can hope compete for an outfielder job like that? A real organization is trading off mental weakness from the roster. It should not take your job getting populated by outsourced talent before you look into the mirror and self evaluate how your career is going.

I don’t quite believe it. He was big. But he wasn’t ready to be a 3-4 defensive end in the NFL

I don’t know enough about Romy’s abilities in the outfield at this time, but Colas seems way more suited by virtue of what Colas was doing last season.

If there has to be change, change the definition of game to 13 innings, whatever, and deal with ties in the standings. Just do it. Changing the competition itself is very disturbing.

It’s fake baseball. May as well have them play dodgeball in the outfield for the win.

Whenever they do, it will be after his market value is diminished of course

Good question. Baseball culture is probably different than regular culture. I guess Clevinger has mixed results as a teammate. But your comment is well aimed at management for carelessly shooting Pedro in the foot if improving culture was going to be Pedro’s rollout.

Is “culture” a buzzword for hitting the cutoff man?

Well, the pitching is funky for sure. If they were gonna pull a rabbit out of the hat, there would be a raw young arm(s) in the minors unproven, ready to pop up. There’s nobody like that down there. With normal attrition, the defense could suffer, and the catching is weird. The lineup is nothing special, and shallow. They aren’t high IQ little things/small ball players either. They won’t be a surprise contender because you cant even roll out plausible scenarios .

Hilariously I read the thread title and wondered why OP was highlighting a player’s nationality ?

It’s just, so unnecessary. Yet we have to be taken there yet again. The rest of the conversation is fair enough. But that’s not the story.

Benetti can take these guys. otoh, Reinsdorf sports franchises have outlasted quality people going on 50 years.

25 million a year is not enough of a penis enlargement?

Why is it that Lopez can be considered to just step back into the rotation after relieving for this long. Yet it’s supposed to be some impossible short term lift for guys like Crochet (and Kopech)? I understand the explanations I’m going to get, but I think if Lopez can do it so easily (apparently), this kind of over concern is overblown.

So I’m missing a meme fire on Twitter. Why am I not surprised?

I just ran across this. Margot is fast

(Since this team is a dumpster fire) Must be true love. She should be able to bang more relevant ballplayers if she wanted.
