Down on the Farm (2018)

[SFGRTB]

Puzzled by Wolff. He's 27, a little old for the AFL. Of course, Tim Tebow was there a couple years ago, and he's not young, either.

Wolff needs innings after missing time the last two years. He could be a bullpen piece next year, possible 40-man roster candidate as well since he's rule 5 eligible.

With Tebow, he was playing baseball for the first time in over a decade. I understand that the Mets wanted him to get the rust off before spring training and the AFL is a much more friendly place than the winter leagues. Wolff is much different. I think the Giants probably want him to work on some things before the offseason.

A 2 run home run involving three players? That's so SF!

I will be there the second week (10/14-21) or thereabouts. Season begins on Tuesday the 9th.

Come join the fun. Looks like a good crop of players. Garcia was in the AFL last year. He averaged almost an RBI per game played, though he had no plate patience at all (I think he walked twice in the six weeks!).

Hotels are cheap, MUCH cheaper than Spring Training. Hit me up, I'll buy you a beer.
