They acquired replacement level filler like Odor. To me, a purposefully non-competitive season is an excuse to challenge prospects.

If only there had been this extended period of time in which the team wasn't trying to be competitive in which they could have sorted out who would be the best choices to keep going forward when the team was trying to be competitive.

Nope. I enjoy watching him play. My concern is entirely selfish.

I don't care about the Pirates but I do care about Cruz. Kinda like how other fans care about Adley.

Oh crap, Oneil Cruz is hurt.

How many are Yankee fans?

When they are only going to have that level of attendance for one game this season it makes sense to not ramp things up fully and just have dissatisfied customers.

Sounds like Bemboom and yet he's on the team.

He was angling for the last wildcard anyway.

Maybe they can bean a batter? Give 'em a concussion! They need to play better.

Right after they trade Adley?

The one call was a miss...at the edge of the strike zone. Not something I would call right down the middle.

Naw, with the pitch clock it will be a short day.

Here is the scorecard: I don't see anything "Right down the middle" that wasn't called. Do you? The zone was a bit tight there at the bottom of the zone but it wasn't that bad, at least it was pretty consistent.

Making him look like an All-Star...oh wait..he was an All-Star last season.

Boy Santander lighting it up in the WBC sure meant something right?

That's why pitching to contact is a bad idea. Strike guys out, it's safer.

I'm sure he can handle it. I just disagree that he should have to. He shouldn't be the guy you are moving around as a utility player.

I'm sure splitting time between multiple positions is making his development much simpler.

I think most of a manager's job is managing the clubhouse. I don't think I could command the respect of a clubhouse of major league players. Getting guys to buy in to whatever system is in place in a big piece.

If he was doing it in Norfolk I'd be plenty impressed!

Manager of the year voting is indeed the best way to judge how a manager is doing.

I don't view it was great news they are moving him out of the outfield. I thought his glove projected OK out there?
