if he does who does he block?

There is no telling what our player personnel situation will be then. Between injuries, trades and disappointments things could change a lot so it is hard to say.

Joy and success perhaps?

Joy at 1B
Success in CF
Thunder and Lightning in COF

Something we all agree on

Not all of this agree.
We offered the QO which he declined. Did not wait and we needed a lead off guy. He did do us dirty by taking the suspension but who knows if that was a factor in us not offering a long term contract

Not sure where all get there insider knowledge.

 

[saddles]

It looks like Solak will still be a rookie next year unless he has a 5 AB games without having one with less than 4 AB. If he gets 4 AB in each of the last 9 games it will put him at exactly 130, which is the limit.

I can see success in CF but wonder what joy can be found at 1B

 

[saddles]

What about 3B. Haha

That would take some insider knowledge to figure out.

Yeah, you can put me in the camp of not wanting to re-sign Cruz.

It's incredibly easy to look at how he's performed and say we missed out, but anyone who says they knew he'd perform the way he has is completely full of shit.

I also agree with that 2nd statement... my biggest issue with Cruz was his propensity for getting injured.... but I totally would've signed him for anything he got later on

No Solak tonight

 

[saddles]

No Solak tonight

That saves his rookie status for sure.

Not much of a HOOP crowd

1 weekend in Oakland sounds like a recipe for big stink dropping below the Mendoza line again.
