You don't like him as a long-term piece?Quote:

Terrible game calling by Montoyo in extras. In the bottom of the 11th runners on 1st and 2nd, has Espinal try to bunt while TB infield is playing 1b and 3b at about 45 feet away from the plate with McHugh only giving sliders and offspeed to try to bunt. He cant bunt those so what does Montoyo have him do on 2 strikes? Bunt again for a foul bunt third strike. He should have been swinging when the infield came that close.Quote:

Can’t wait for George to come back.
I'm only saying this because I'm quite sure he's a one year stop gap and will be playing elsewhere next year. Now if they could lock him up, then sure. But he's not staying so that is why I think he must be dealt.Quote:

Assuming Semien plays like this for a whole year, he probably gets a minimum $80 mil contract. I rather use that on pitching.
He didn’t say it. It was suggested elsewhere.Quote:

Now when he doesn't get it down yea it's frustrating, some blame the manager - but really it's on the player. Espinals issue was he didn't square around, it's why he kept bunting it foul.Quote:

This is definitely the concern. Also we need a spot for at least 1 of these prospect bats coming up.Quote:
