Those are all REALLY bad defensive options. I know JT has signed off on Eldridge’s defense, but I want him to play for a few months in the minors and get more eyeball reports on his D before I am comfortable with that option.

Anthony Rizzo is available. He has had 2 horrible offensive seasons in a row, so he likely won’t bring any offense, but at least he will bring a glove with some veteran leadership and the POTENTIAL for some offense. Or they can explore the trade market. I have no idea who would be available, so I will leave that in the fog of war for now.

If Rizzo is under consideration why not give Belt another chance? He never did retire. He has been waiting this whole time.

And we are winning 2 of every 3 games. Just wait until the hitters come around, which they will do, right? Right?!?

On MLB TV they were showing highlights of this game and when JHL drove in Yaz they were like "Grandson Of The Wind drives in Grandson Of The Carl" lol

Forgot that awesome nickname for JHL
