Kind of like boarding the Titanic after it hits the iceberg, but whatever. Enjoy your deck chair, Mr. Aoki. Just realized he won't be eligible for the postseason, which is a bummer.
I think Terry's done after this year, but they won't fire him before the end of the season. It's a lost cause at this point, so canning him won't change anything. May as well just ride him to the end.
I think Wright is warming up to be a pinch-hitter come September so the fans can cheer him one last time, then he retires. That solves the insurance problem. But please, no Moose Tacos.
He's got a lot of rope (and so does Rosario) as far as I'm concerned. Let them play the rest of this year against righties and lefties and see what we've got. They're not going to be world-beaters the first time out, but a lot of good players didn't have instant success.
Didn't see the point in just giving him away, quite frankly. Didn't save THAT much money, since you'll have to pay Plawecki anyway to replace him. Liked Rene, and he was more useful than he had any right to be.
