Interesting. That doesn't really give Bochy any long reliever. Who do you see filling that role?
Most of what I have read/heard, Buster is doing great. That doesn’t mean they don’t intend on DRASTICALLY reducing his dish-time.
Since we aren't winning dick this year I want to see Sandoval on the team. What difference does it make who the backup infielders are?
And moves like Kratz make it feel like the old regime, pre-World Series wins. I haven't done the research, but they don't seem like typical Zaidi moves during his tenure in the Dodgers' org.
100% He hasn't brought any rings to this org (nor did he at the previous employer but did get them close twice). It takes time to determine if an exec is a success or a bust but most of his moves are puzzling so far. I've begun to wonder if his last name translates, in Italian, to DiPoto.
I could be wrong on this, but my interpretation of MSG's post is that he'd rather see Sandoval than Solarte. But that is just me.
Considering this quote from Bochy after yesterday's game, I'd say he'd prefer keeping Sandoval as well. The problem is, he'd probably also prefer Solarte over Hanson and Joe, which I find problematic.
I get that, I just don't care this year nearly as much. Gonna be a long rebuild so I'm just not gonna care about the last few roster spots.
I also think that the Giants have a lot of has beens and never will be’s. I mean, in my humble opinion, I don’t think Shaw or Joe are ever gonna be more than a AAAA player. At least they aren’t burying Bichette or Guerrero in the minors. I get why people are frustrated, but it seems to me that this years team is a bunch of chairs on the titanic...big league and minors.
So why give up potentially 2 future assets, no matter how minor, for a one-year player who doesn’t really fill a hole?
I’m gonna guess you either haven’t read my prior posts today or you think that Hinojosa and Lopez were going to be underrated, yet valuable pieces to the Giants next WS.
