It just seems like the plan the past 3 years has been kinda "we'll figure it out as we go." 2020: Starting rotation includes Weber and a bullpen day. That bullpen. 2021: Original plan was Kiké at 2b. Cordero getting a lot of run early in the season for some reason. Uncertainty at 1b. 2022: Continued uncertainty at 1b with a backup of Travis Shaw. OF was very LHB heavy and the only idea was to platoon Arroyo out there. Starting rotation of the walking wounded. Another bullpen hodgepodge (Barnes was a known concern at this point, Diekman "replaced" Ottavino, no defined role for Houck/Whitlock, Taylor injury). I will say that a lot of us wanted Jose Iglesias as a bench bat and that would have been the right call over Arroyo in retrospect.

I thought it was because Houck was piggybacking with Hill?

@NBCSEdgeBB Rich Hill (knee) returning on Wednesday vs. Astros

To me, it seemed like relying on too many older/injury risk pitchers (Hill, Wacha, Paxton, Sale, Eovaldi) was a bad idea. I'm also interested to see what the post mortem will be on Matt Barnes someday.
-
And he's filled in well when Hader has been absent from time to time this season.
-
Past 20?
-
The biggest bullpen piece he acquired this offseason was Diekman and that really didn't work out. I think another big mistake was bringing in Hill/Paxton/Wacha rather than finding guys that can actually take the ball every 5th day. This caused them to mess around with Houck and Whitlock which caused further bullpen issues.

According to BaseballTradeValues Major overpay One side of this trade is giving up significantly more than they should. It’s possible it would be accepted if each team’s needs are met, but it’s a low probability.

I don't know how good his defense is. Right now he's just a middle infielder? My only concern is that he's repeating AA and went from a 736 OPS to 690 OPS. I'd hope for a slight improvement. All of his offensive numbers went down. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/sunday-notes-red-sox-prospect-david-hamilton-is-fast-as-lightning/ He could just be one of those guys that gets put on rosters down the stretch run for pinch running like Quintin Berry.

I meant Dombrowski. Oops.
-
I only post in undisputed facts!
-
I vaguely remember him going to Japan, but not the Randy piece. I do remember him racing stock cars up in NH in the offseason though.
-
Dombrowski will throw in a couple extra prospects just to get the phone call over with quicker.
-
The Gator was a fun player who just didn't play well with the media and injuries shortened his career. He could flat out hit.

It's like if you say a joke and nobody laughs the first time, well... maybe they just didn't hear me! I'll use it again!
-
You're not a real person. We don't have basements in Florida, dum dum.
-
Really big into this joke right now, eh?

Atlantic City in November sounds like the saddest vacation ever planned.
-
Drivel? I think you need your eyes checked. Even A700 would agree that I'm a must read.
-
I wouldn't expect it to happen today or tomorrow. Considering what the OF looked like at the start of 21 and 22, but I don't know if you can expect that acquisition this offseason either.

I guess I just assumed it was all the toxic algae in the Gulf that was making your posts so bad. Now I realize it's just the iguana infestation and nonstop traffic in FTL that's driving you crazy. You're not having iguana's coming out of your toilet are you?

I thought you were on the West Coast of FL?

Mauricio Dubon in CF instead of Duran.
