So it seems the general consensus is that Sanchez should start the year in AA or AAA, but what do we think will actually happen? Does floyd have that 5th spot locked up?
I suppose its too early to tell as well.
This man is being paid how much to maximize the chances of the team winning every game, and he flubs up something as simple as the batting order? We have like 3 or 4 potential lead off hitters and hes choosing pillar it makes no sense.
How many times are we going to see thole or goins hit with runners in scoring position late in the game? Or how about saving our closer for a save situations even though were on the road in an extra innings game?
Gibbons isnt a good manager, im sure the players get along with him though so thats worth something. Realistically a manager like Gibbons won't even cost us many games but when it happens its frustrating as f.
How does this happen? A man who has spent vast majority of his life around and playing baseball is so ignorant regarding certain things like this, or when buck goes on a rant about saber metrics being the devil incarnate.
You could chalk it up to age, but even Greg Zaun who isn't exactly old is caught saying stuff like this all the time.
I hope Hutch gets another chance in the rotation, the guy showed flashes of absolute brilliance; (Rangers, brewers, and White Sox games to name a few) and as far as im concerned Sanchez hasn't proven anything.

Also come on guys, although the ops trade proposal was retarded we are an offence first team, 25 homeruns at the bottom of the order would not be so bad.
