I don’t like the return, two projects? But, if you were going to improve this starting lineup what would you do. How confident were you last year when geno Suarez came to the plate.
2nd base obviously is a spot we could improve, and an outfield slugger. Suarez’s leadership and personality are what I liked the most about him but I do think we needed an upgrade at third, which is NOT what dipstick did… I hate to say it but first base needs to be better too. We have a cf, ss, catcher, and some good pitching. I don’t want to see Ty France go but he needs some help/competition over there at first.Ty and another slugger would be a good first base/dh combo.
Dipstick says you need a deep roster at this level, whatever idiot, that doesn’t mean go get a bunch of 4a never gonna do its. He has traded all our real major leaguers for minor leaguers. And for all the things he did when he started deleting the cano’s and boom sticks and real closers, there is no one left except jarred Kelenic. No segura no haniger no Diego Castillo, no Abraham toro no winker (thank god) no Suarez, no wong.
And think of all the young stars he traded… What trades has he made that he hasn’t given up on… Luis Castillo…. That didn’t take much thought to keep him… even signing Robbie ray was a mistake. And everyone talks about how he has upgraded our farm system, well, the farm is getting bare again and for as heralded as it was it sure didn’t produce much fruit.
Dipsticks moves are like a whole bunch of shuffling and posturing all for nothing. Like if he moves enough players no one will notice how much they all suck.
I will never get over the Kendall graveman fiasco. That was the most damaging, pointless, and useless move ever and after he did it he said “there’s another move coming that will make this move make sense” Diego Castillo… dfa’d
Dipstick is a disgruntled former reliever who is probably still angry that he was always just a mediocre trade chip. He doesn’t acquire any players because they are the right move. He just gets as many as he can and hopes at least one of them is any good.
