Small thing, but I hate when managers/coaches have regular numbers. I feel different if the manager/coach played on the team though.

It’s a player option worth $13 mill.

Who ever knows. The more people who use the ignore feature the better.

If anything, Grifol would help the younger guys in camp, backup than the almost 34 year old, on the downside of career veteran.

I have also heard the same about Frank. Now my friends who have met Bo on the other hand...

I would be more in favor of this if it started in like the 13th inning. Give them another 1/3 of the length of a game the old way.

Thanks. I just quickly checked Baseball Ref.

The combined for -.5 WAR.

I don't know, you'd still have a very flawed roster.

Yeah, I don't blame them for wanting to grab someone from the Rays staff.

I am a fan of former catchers as managers so he does have that going for him (at least for me haha).

I could see why people would be underwhelmed but no reason to really hate it....yet.

It's not TLR, it's not Ozzie, it's not a former player who is not actively coaching (AJ, Thome, Getz, Paulie, etc). Solid.

There’s still enough “good” (I think?) candidates out there to not f*** this up.

Exactly. Depending on who they ultimately go with, it could be that.

Is this who you hinted at the other day?

I’m waiting for an official hire before losing my s%*#. Don’t think it will be him but wouldn’t surprise me at all if it is.

Wasn’t it reported he interviewed?

Just what they need, another 1B. Edit: only way that makes sense is if they let Abreu walk AND trade Vaughn for a position of need.

Just like the TLR move.

To be fair, I don’t think anyone does besides a couple people. Thinking he could be hired as manager =/= actually wanting him.

Do you think he’d be worse than tony? I feel like I would take him in a heart beat over Tony and I don’t even want him lol that’s just how low the bar was set by the Tony hire.

Exactly
