Right, but that's a downside that you accept for the reduced AAV. This is not a bad deal, even if he sucks. It won't hamstring the budget for years.
This is what he said before he signed Chappy. I didn't buy it then and I don't buy it now.Sounds like a pitcher signing is coming soon . . .

They're probably going to have to trade him. He needs regular ABs somewhere and he won't get them here.Is a J.D. Davis trade certain?

Decisions, decisions. Can they still keep him and trade someone else instead? With the team history of getting hurt would it be smart to trade him?
Nothing is “certain”. But I think the good money is on Davis OR Flores getting dealt in the coming weeks. Likely in a package with Bart and probably one of our young arms for a SS or a rotation piece.Is a J.D. Davis trade certain?

So Flores helped bring over his buddy Soler to take away some of his playing time so he could be traded? The fool.
Giants increasingly seem to be focused on giving the youngsters less chances of playing time. Looks like another somewhat old club with middling playoff prospects. Gotta love the direction and plan FZ is implementing.
He’d be quite the story if he makes the clubSpencer Bivens has officially been added as an NRI? He was already in camp, but he has impressed everyone and is now apparently “in the mix”.

Pretty hash assessment. Don't believe that Flores worked with Soler thinking it would cost him playing time. As a teammate he did what I think should be expected from him.
Working to attract a FA is a very good “good faith” move on a players part. But it does/should not make that player untouchable moving forward.
I totally agree. I'm just not 100% convinced that we are somewhat 'leaderless' by choice. IMHO I tend to beliieve that FZ plays a much big role in that area then we imagine. Maybe too much involvement at a much lower level than we think.
We will never know. In truth, we have no idea what Boch REALLY brought to the table. We can only judge him by anecdotes, reports from others, and, at the end of the day, the results he has produced. But what I “know” about Boch is complete Bull shit that I have essentially made up after watching him somewhat closely for a decade(ish).
Tracks with what I read about the prognosis. 2 months before he can begin throwing, 2 more months at least before he can join the team. All Star break was best case. Right about the time Ray should be ready. hope he pitches this year.
