Pretty sure they can't send Thole to AAA without his consent or that would have been the plan all along, he has veteran protection I assume after 5+ years in the majors.
That line up...
Now Sanchez let's dial down those competitive walks and get some whiffs to quiet the naysayers. Let this board #cometogther and enjoy an orgasmic moment for once.
Doesn't Viciedo make $2.5M if he makes the team? That's a horrible bench cost for 2 weeks waiting for Saunders. Can't we just ride Gindl's hot bat for 2 weeks on the bench?
We also need as much time as possible for tryouts to dictate who's getting what role. If they cut ST down a week or more a guy like Smoak would still have zero hits and possibly even cut.
I guess it would be easy to shave a run here and there when you've been playing for the Marlins & Astros with no microscope on you or relevance in a playoff picture.
