It’s strange how you started with what you think as rational reasons to not spend on RF and 2B but then immediately fell back into “they aren’t the dodgers”
im not asking them to be the dodgers. Would I like ridiculous money to spend and a great minors sure but we don’t have the minors part and they impose their own spending restrictions which are stupid and keep them perpetually in this “everything must go absolutely correct this season to win it all” cycle that we all now see as the “plan”.
its fucking bullshit. Asking them to spend this season on two positions off need -for the last three seasons- should not be too much for this organization. But here we are convincing ourselves that, yes, actually it’s good to count on a 23 year old player that basically didn’t play for the better part of 2 seasons after he defected from Cuba, and had one good minor league season. And Sosa and Romy could actually do it, even though we have no actual proof of any of this.
so hey, cross your fingers cross your toes cross whatever you need to. Make sure the wish is “everything works out totally perfect”
