Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Grifol did almost as much damage to the org as Hahn/Haber and boy that's hard to believe. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Fletcher definitely needs to play almost every day. It can only help his development. He may not end up being much, but sitting on the bench 75% of the time isn't going to help figure out how good he can be. He seems to have the energy in the OF and has made some good plays. Hopefully his bat can come around a bit. As far as Vargas, I think we were under the assumption that he would get much more playing time with the Sox than he did in LA. That really hasn't happened yet. Again, like Fletcher, he needs to be playing consistently to see what he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the GM who traded Mena for Dominic Fletcher instead of the better outfielder offered by the Dbacks in Jake McCarthy, and who could only get back Vargas as a headliner in return for Fedde and Kopech?

Trade him for some PTBNL or DFA him in offseason if you aren't even going to play him in this lost year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it's hard to believe, because it's utter nonsense. I know the powers that be want to pin it all on Pedro. Get real. The manager makes a 2-3 game difference at best and if the powers that be wanted "their guys" playing more you know they were free to call him into their office and/or fire him long before August. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention how much of the season Fletcher was in AAA anyway. Newsflash, the manager isn't responsible for roster moves. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
