Is
something that can be said?
Here is my guess, the Giants want to use the DH spot for the 2023 versions of Tommy LaStella, guys not healthy enough to play the field but whom they believe can still hit. I know the official word on Conforto is that he will be healthy enough to play the field by Opening Day but I have to think that they are working out a scenario where he needs to DH most days. They still want Pederson in the lineup and are also probably working contingencies if Wade doesn't pan out. Hey, that is what spring training is for.Is
I am OK to trying him there in spring and a little run during the early season if he shows promise. But it is classic bait ‘n switch. The FO was adamant that he was signed as a DH, then, less than a week later (in game okay time), they are putting him the field with a potential serious attempt at playing him the field.

. So I won’t bring it up again. This guy = not mentioning it.
I didn't see a whole lot of movement in the direction that they said that they wanted to go (going younger, bringing in more defensively minded players). In some ways, this team doesn't seem a whole lot different than last year's team. There are changes, and the team is somewhat younger, but the gamble is on high upside guys with significant medical histories.100
but then it goes back to the argument of signing him in the first place. Signing a DH-only player, with the way they are saying they want to build this team, just doesn’t make sense.
And I won’t even mention the fact that was signed for almost 19m for 1 year. mentioning that again would just be
I meant about having more defensive-able players. That is a clearly stated intention from the FO.
