Harry Chappas Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 9 minutes ago, fathom said: I’d hope so, he’s been the worst player on the roster by far He doesn't do anything special. For whatever reason LaRussa loves him. He should never get a multi year deal yet here we are. He got the Boston walk off and playoff HR but is so mediocre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you miss last year? Any MiLB middle infielder can do what he does. He is a switch hitter so TLR instantly puts him higher in lineup and plays him.

Just have to hope TLR actually gives him routine breaks and that he isn't gifted a lifetime contract until retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were going to cut down on hyperbolic hhot takes? still not a fan of a three year guaranteed deal for a utility player. Not a lot of teams do that and for a good reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
