Did you see a gold medal winning soccer player tore his meniscus throwing out the first pitch recently? That's on Rocco for playing him out of position..
And I think it would have been great if he'd added, that despite all that, he'll do what it takes to win. Again though, maybe I'm expecting the wrong thing here.
Man, I'm conflicted. I keep trying to tell myself not to be confident of this team....but I mostly agree with what you say here. I think 3/4 teams in the division will win 9-11 games, and the Vikings could be one of them.
I think the running game might actually matter this year....
Rodriguez.... At some point. They can't sign a veteran and block him.... Can they?
If anyone would take him, I'd deal Buxton and move on. If he'd go.. it's so hard to build around a guy who can't ever play when you have limited budgets
Agreed. Not a good look. The idea he can't play the OF is ridiculous also. He's not healthy enough to demand anything.
Betts and Cruz are perfectly fine moving around. Maybe he should talk to Mookie
Concur. I don't get how they haven't learned by now. It's better to DL a guy sooner rather than later, to have a full bench for all the games, than hope he "only misses one or two games".
I do think it is near certain Kiersey will field better than Martin (but I mostly blame the FO for playing Martin out of position nearly his entire time here at SS, when zero people felt he'd ever play there, zero, nada, none)
Move Varland to the bullpen already. Seriously.
As for Buxton? I too am joking on the site now about not playing him until July......
But anyone posting these guys are soft is just unbelievable to me. Truly.
