It feels like a lot of people failed to realize the fact that Hays has less than half a season in AA and Santander mainly played in AA as a rehab assignment during his Rule 5 year.

Then they also only care about Spring stats if someone they like does well, or someone they dislike does bad. Otherwise "stats don't matter."

Is Mullins ready? He can't hit, and is not a plus fielder.

They got rid of Don Hart. So I like everyone.

I think that is painting with a wide brush.  Hays has looked good beyond simply looking at the stats.

I think he will be given every opportunity to fail this season.

Do you mean 600 at bats?

I never thought Mancini would see another day in the outfield.

I think he gets a month or so.

With Davis and Trumbo on the team...

How many months should we give Davis? I'm convinced he can't hit.

It's a crying shame we spent $200M on Davis and Trumbo to be sluggers. They sure are not sluggers anymore.

36? 24?  Whenever we get good again, that's the only deadline for me. It's not like anyone is blocked yet.

They guys who hired them are all gone.

Mancini is being blocked from playing where he belongs, first base. I believe his hitting will come back if he knows he is the first baseman and doesn't have to worry about the OF.
