Nobody notices because he presents himself with America's favorite outfits - conservative suit and tie (to show that he's smart) and baseball cap to show that he's a regular guy. He also throws in some regular guy phrases to go with all the nonsense.
That is a possibilty! In fact, I am less optimistic about him than Meadows. However, I believe Hinch will give both of them a chance to show they can hit well enough to justify putting them in the line-up for their defense.
I think he will be batting third, but I believe it will most commonly be Baez at SS and McGonigle 3B. I think that gives them the best defense. There will, of course, be lots of different combos.
They have Cruz and Peck. They could keep Sweeney too. I am just wondering because he's not very good and their 40-man has gotten more crowded than it has in decades.
Sweeney, Horn and Gipson Long are not accounted for. Horn and long are Hurt, but is either of them hurt bad enough for the 60IL. Are they keeping Sweeney in the orgaization?
Edit: Sweeney is hurt too.
Petzold says that he's on the opening day roster. I'll believe he has re-invvented himself once he proves it in the Majors. The Harris team has had success with relievers in the past though.
Who is we? I have moved past the idea that he will ever suffer any recriminations, but certainly have not moved byond the idea that he SHOULD face recriminations.
My reading on Trump's "negotiation" is a little different (although the pump and dump scheme is a legitimate possibility as well). I read the threat as a way to pump up his base and the "negotiation" is an off ramp so he doesn't look cowardly as Iran calls his bluff.
They still have 43 players in camp. There can't be 17 players on the bubble! Perhaps, they want some players to play in Arizona, so their regulars can be rested prior to opening day.
