Now how many of those outings were during meaningful situations? There's a reason why he was in AAA and that's because he's only been useful for mop up duties for his career.
Taking out Kikuchi for Thorton is just idiotic. The whole 3rd time through the order makes sense if you actually have a good arm coming in... not a guy you plan to send back to the minors tomorrow.
No one in the organization wants to hurt Bo's feelings. We probably could have gotten Soto and had him batting behind Bo lol.
Fun fact - Hosmer (who everyone was laughing at) has a better OPS than Bo...
That's the part of his statement that made no sense. Like obviously you wouldn't trade for someone who won't get vaccinated so why say that at all lol.
Ya he seems like a better hitting Espinal, which isn't a bad thing but not where you'd expect the number 1 prospect in baseball to be. Teams can play him shallow to take a lot away from him if he doesn't show any power.
Wave 3 was the one i was worried about. It seems iffy to me other than Moreno but we'll see how that plays out. Sadly he's pretty much blocked with Jansen/Kirk ahead of him currently.
I'm sure we'll figure that out during the offseason. Wave 4 is just too far away to consider at this time (too much can change).
