...and at least it is not a 1st baseman named Davis!

Just watch, Hicks catches fire and Hyde will beg ME to keep him in 2024.

Bader to injured list for NYY.

I think the baseball gods owe us a couple Hicks HRs against the Skanks to bring balance to the universe after that Franchy Cordero BS earlier this year.

The Torrens signing thread generated an impressive pages-of-rant to days-on-roster ratio of 15:4.

Excited to see how the Hicks signing thread compares.

Cameron was brought here to add depth and as a possible injury replacement for McKenna.  They  are facing a bunch of right handed pitchers coming up so they most likely feel that having Hicks a lefty bat is a better option at this point.  ME and the organization likes the lefty righty thing so putting McKenna and Cameron on the roster for extra outfielder is redundant.  If Hicks is here a month from now and Cowser is healthy then I can see a complaint but til then I see little difference between Cameron and Hicks except one is a switch hitter.

I already forgot about Torrens and hoping to say the same about Hicks soon enough.

worse signing - Hicks, for Brett Phillips last year?  At least Phillips could run.

Phillips would make more sense.  Didn’t he just get DFA-ed?  If Hicks could play at all near replacement would the Yankees release him w 3 years left on his contract.

Who knew Daz Cameron had such a fan base?

Just wait for the Ben DeLuzio stans.

Aaron Hicks hasn't hit well since 2018. This signing is almost as terrible the Nomar Mazara signing. 

Mazara was a minor league signing. Why get bent out of shape by any MiL deal?

I wonder what conversations the Orioles have had with Westburg. He has earned a spot on the 26. Have they given him a timetable.

Hit his 14th HR last night. .998 OPS, I don't care whose spot he takes in the every day lineup (Mateo, Frazier, Vavra, Urias, Mountcastle...) he should be starting for the O's now.

I wonder what they are looking at?  The positives I see recently are walk rate and arm strength.
