We have had this discussion multiple times. Did seattle mess up too? How about Baltimore?@Crawler?

I would’ve kept Cruz until he didn’t produce. Pretty simple.

Before the suspension, there were games that season where Cruz literally carried the offense. You don’t give up easily on a player like that. We did tho.

Not at all, and we had more than one opportunity to sign him.

Management never could get past him taking the suspension. They let that turn into a personal thing, when it should have been a personnel thing.
Ok I will bite again. We signed Choo which I think made it tougher but Cruz turned us down once most likely multiple times

The only way they would have kept Cruz is by a multi year contract. They offered the QA remember. He turned it down and the entire league did not give him a multi offer that he liked.

So we gave up..? We were smart enough to pick him up in the first place. Disagree. Respectfully can’t see any logic to your thought on this.
Perhaps you just like railing against things you don’t like.

Oder back in line up. Wish Santana was at 2b instead of DH and Willie would have DH'd. Would give us a little more offense imo.
They could have put Santana on first due to injury and Dietrich at 2B. I think Danny should be down further in the lineup to for now

Good to see Elvis taking a day off. Think he really needed to.

Liked his personality. Easy going nice guy
A lot of tough breaks and wonder if things didn’t fall a little differently we would have moved Odor early and Profar would still be here

Board has complained about Odor bat but his defense is not good lately as well. Not turning the DPs when hurried. Like he has lost his cool

See above. Bad defense at 2B and 1B

I think another way to handle remainder of season is to start playing future of club. No way Willie should be sitting against RHP
