If Garrett Crochet can throw 100 mph again after his UCL has been repaired it's the easiest decision ever. You don't spend the 11th overall pick on a reliever and not let him close.
Hendriks vs triple digits Crochet is a wash.
Just roll with internal options at 2B. Don't waste limited funds there.
Also is it a possibility they trade Hendriks and hand the closer job to Crochet?
Why not both?(if money is no object) they need more left handed bats and Pollock is the short side of a platoon these days. Pollock can spell both players in bad matchups. Would also give them the luxury of letting Colas prove he's absolutely ready. Colas can also play all 3 OF positions.
Remember all of the stupid s%*# that Anthony Miller did? Get ready for that again.
Don't get me wrong, Claypool is a good player if he gets his s%*# together. Like the move. He just has a screw loose.
If that's what you're expecting from Claypool you're going to be disappointed. He has butterfingers.
