I mean, at what point do we look at the career so far, and say he's not good enough? I am shocked, but it might just be time to give him a change of scenery.
The point of the OP is that there just aren't any free agents out there anymore, and that will make them even more expensive, so that route is likely closed....
I'd fire this FO right now. One hitter, maybe two, developed in their tenure.
I'm shocked at how bad it is. I didn't have high hopes, but they just cannot hit at all.
Good luck to Brooks, I hope they give him time to adjust, as he's done at every level so far.
If only they could control the number of innings, and could play them in MN, and more....
If only Martin was at 2B and not the OF, he might not have pulled a hammy....
I'm done with the FO at this point. It would take a miracle for me to change my mind (I was done when they signed Gasper and France and made France the starter).
I'm assuming Jenkins is a corner player, and I'm told he's better than almost every other prospect .....in this very thread! That's two right there, plus Keaschell (or is a 2B?) and ERod are OFers......
You think the manager costs them 15 game a year in lineup construction alone? Unreal. If a manager was that powerful, they'd get paid a lot more. A lot more.
