I'm just f***ing around because I like messing with him, but he's right.
Look, I did the whole "go and live in the US" thing from a tropical island, and assimilated it seamlessly. Some people didn't. I dated a girl for a while that was part of the scholarship program as well before I came back and she hates it there, can't handle the weather, etc etc etc. It depends on the individual. She'd been there for over a year and dreaded the three she had left.
It's too early to call the guy a bust either ways.
One of the rare times I wholeheartedly agree with Elktonnick about something, meaning this is also one of the rare times where he is actually right about something.
I don't think you're taking recent history into account with your asessment of Buch Bell. He missed half a season in 2013, and sucked all of 2014. He's a hung toenail away from missing the rest of 2015.
If Panda can turrn his season around, and they move Hanley to 1B (for those who say he'd be learning a new position, 3B and 1B are extremely similar) while cutting Napoli. reinforcing the pitching might lead them somewhere.
