You know I'm down for that and have been for a while. Look at what is available at 2b each year...it's a no-brainer. I'm not that big on how Wong would age though, he seems like a pretty worn down 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 33 minutes ago, bmags said: Seems pretty fair as you cheer for a situation where the manager is dictating personnel moves to the owner and bypassing the scouting department to look at what happened when he was recently making personnel moves. So if I'm not whining about it I'm cheering for it? Come on man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Washington declined Eaton's option. Would you guys bring him back as a LHH RF? (yes I know he's a shithead) Edited October 28, 2020 by soxfan49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulture Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Of the shit head triumvirate of Laroche, Sale, and Eaton, he was the lesser shithead IMO. Six straight seasons of .362-.394 OBP but he stunk it up in 2020. Any evidence that was an aberration? The .360+ obp version would look pretty good balancing out the lineup, no doubt Edited October 28, 2020 by Vulture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 My RF list in terms of likeliness is: 1) Calhoun 2) Bradley 3) Joc 4) Springer My SP list in terms of likeliness is: 1) Quintana 2) Stroman 3) Richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Jerry is going to override the front office and force them hire La Russa is total bullshit. That is not how the dude operates. I’d wager large sums of money that Hinch will be the manger within 10 days after the World Series. I too believe this decision will ultimately be left to Hahn. JR will be in the discussion along with KW but ultimately RH is the GM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
