On the record Poll: Hays or McKenna (Update: McKenna DFA'd (Claimed by Giants), Hays activated)

[Aglets]

So we have 4 guys that can play CF now?

That's kinda cool I guess.

Not surprising. It will be interesting if popping a few homers against lefties will get him claimed.

I hope he gets claimed, but most front offices recognize a bad player when they see one.

I for one hope McKenna gets claimed this time.

If he does it will be like when I have to hide the tennis ball in the closest from my dog. It's the only way he'll stop obsessing over it. Elias might need to have his ball taken away.

If he cared that much he wouldn't have DFA'd him twice this year.

Yeah, most teams have a 40-man that are all stars. Sucks we've had to carry McKenna.

I'm just happy that we won't see him coming in as a defensive replacement for Santander and then realizing Santander would have made the play he didn't. That last three step offline throw was the last straw for me. I hope he gets claimed too.

Let me have my little joke.

Anyone can stand in CF.   That does not mean they have the range to be good at it.  I never thought of Stowers as a speed guy.

Because this is his 2nd DFA, McKenna can refuse the assignment to Norfolk if he clears waivers.

Was that the last straw or was it over sliding the 2nd base bag?

Would that cost him his major league salary?

Pretty sure he won't opt for FA. He'll play in Norfolk.

[Bemorewins]

They probably go back to the Hays/Cowser platoon more. Or maybe some Hays/Mullins platoon? 

There will be plenty of ABs for Hays if he hits.

[Orioles Jim]

Thrilled with this move as long as Hays doesn’t go back to playing (most) every day.

Literally been praying every single second to the God of my choice that someone takes him away from the Orioles organization. Please! We all know he will not get cleaned because no one wants that hot mess.
