There is some hope in that they can play some good games (there will be ups and downs and injuries), develop some younger talent and depth and - just perhaps they have a 'vision and direction' moving forward 🤔 ⚾ 🧭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've built their entire marketing plan around his last season. He will play 60 games and see it to the end. They aren't trying to win. And there should be plenty of DH at-bats for Carpenter and Meadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he has a few key on the field moments this year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 This is entirely an ownership decision. And they want him on the roster to sell tickets and market the tributes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they probably wouldn't even let Miggy free with payment if he wanted to ? I guess you can't blame them it is 32 very very large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they cut Cabrera and gave his 350 AB to someone else they might expect to win, what, 70 games? 75 games? What’s the difference. Let the guy take a victory lap. Don’t insult the face of your franchise for over a decade at the end of his hall of fame career for the chance of winning a few more games and still having a losing season.

They would be giving 350 at bats of experience to players who who might be able to help them in the future. They would find out more about their young players for their future planning. I understand why he has to be play, but I'm not going to pretend it doesn't matter. Edited April 6, 2023 by Tiger337 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah those ABs might make a difference of a few wins next season. Maybe. But then you have a whole league full of players see how you insulted one of the best players in your franchise’s history in his last season when you had almost nothing to gain and they think, “That franchise is pathetic AND disrespectful.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I understand why he has to play, but I am not enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_R Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Yeah, it was a bad contract and a bad rebuild. I hope he has a hot streak somewhere along the line so everyone can go out with positive feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be resonably productive for as long as the knee holds out - which is who knows how long? So there may not be much 'crisis' over his ABs for a while until the knee (or something else) acts up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
