Gant isn't a starter, and should be treated as a RP. There is no reason Thorpe should have started that game, if he's healthy enough to start in the minors.
At the beginning of the year, who does he replace on the roster? You may be right, but I'm curious if you think there is a starter he should have replaced at the beginning of the year.
I mean, can a computer programmer switch companies? A teacher districts? A bartender? Anyone without a contract, and stay in their profession:? Yes. I agree, MLB should be MORE like that.
So.... At the trade deadline.... How does a team trade Cruz type of they are close to the floor? Or, just don't, and decrease competitiveness long term?
Terrible idea. How would that work if he's checking a sign? What if he swung hard and needs a moment?
OTOH, if you have to wait for him to be in the box, then every one will wait until 27 seconds or less to get in the box.
Cave and 2 RPs? And Thorpe.......gotta call up a starter now, I'd think.
Then, you can send down a RP and call up a random OF or Larnach to replace Cave. (as in, get another OF up....).
No one is arguing that......it was whether he was dropping in rankings or not at all, as if one site keeping him high was evidence, but multiple sites dropping him wasn't....Not why he was dropping, if he was dropping.
They have more than enough money to sign a big time SP and SS.
As many are saying, though, I'd put my money on these SS signing with their existing team or a much bigger market team.
He didn't apologize. That wasn't an apology.
Look the dude once told a female reporter intern the only women he talked to when he wasn't fully dressed were either on top of him or under him. He's a horrible human.
