Name the guy (or guys) on this team you would never want in your clubhouse

Herrera. I’m an old-school guy who likes guys who run balls out and run off and on the field and are focused on playing the game the right way. He’s the antithesis of Brett Gardner. He’s like a clown. From what I understand, it was a controversial signing internally, because none of their baseball people could stomach him, but Matt Klentak liked him because he’s a likable goofball kid. So they ended up putting the cash in his pocket, and what they’ve gotten out of it is a f****** dog who’s hurt them more than helped them


Guy probably works for the Yankees. Who else would name drop Brett Gardner?

He does make a lot of stupid plays with bad defense and terrible baserunning. Dude can swing it though.

I bet the person saying that is: male, white, 60+ years old, overweight, has a drinking problem, and every story is about "kids these days".

The baserunning frustrates me more than the defense. Guy was a highly touted defensive second baseman until the Phils got him from Texas, and they dropped him in CF because he was a little bit better out there than Cesar Hernandez.

I'd like to think he'll get the hang of it eventually, but you still see a lot of his more natural infield instincts play out, and it causes him to take bad routes to balls.
