Its like a mini game where i get to call balls and strikes myself

Like are they trying to ruin every…possible…aspect of this team

I didnt really think much about this signing and to begin the year i was in the camp that Mayer should be platooning with IKF, not as a performance based strategy but to help the oft-injured Mayer to ease into the daily grind while not being overwhelmed by stud lefties. Now? Im wondering what the point of spending $6mil on an aging benchwarmer was.

Sogard and Eaton both looked solid last year and both could have been used to platoon with Mayer. Maybe thats a slight hit defensively, but I dont think drastic. We also had JUST TRADED for Monasterio/Durbin the day prior. We also have Romy coming back (hopefully) as the summer starts ramping up.

why would we spend $6m for essentially a warm body?

edit: really hoping i manifested that Eaton call up and an IKF DFA is en route

he hasn't really ever been given the chance ... how is a player supposed to develop this skill if they don't let them try?
