Let’s wait and see on Joc… he starts out blazing hot every year and then he becomes very average to below average

Still… this Rosario situation is a problem. Hopefully the eye surgery gets him back right. It would explain issues on offense and defense

It's more than just the start. He took a one year deal for less than Rosario will make this year. And his defense is better. It's not a huge blunder but if we could have had Joc at what the Giants paid him, he was the better choice.

Hopefully we see ozuna in lf, TD in RF, and Dickerson DH tomorrow
D'Arnaud in right?!!?!?
Sure, let's move further towards beer league softball.

I think the Phillies are testing that theory out for us this season

Travis demeritte, but TDA is fast
I still don’t understand why TDA doesn’t DH on his off days.
It’s like Snit doesn’t understand your supposed to deploy a good hitter in that spot.
We rest him once every 3-4 days and most teams would be getting his bat in the lineup but not us

I thought this was some of the reason we signed a very competent backup. So yeah I don't get that.

There is situation if Pena gets hurt and we have to put TDA in, Braves lose the DH for that game, but I don't think that should deter TDA from DH'ing. I agree, give him one full game off every week and have him batting as DH on Pena catching days.
No I understand that concern but what about the entire month we had three catchers on the roster?
That was just dumb roster management.
It would be different if our offense was good but with so many mediocre players having to be in it, seems to me having him DH some would help the team

Joc is from Palo Alto and his wife’s dad is the current COO of Apple. I am sure there was a strong desire to come home.
Three months and a ring were perfectly acceptable outcomes from Soler, Joc and Rosario. Rosario’s contract isn’t a huge blunder because it’s a small commitment, but the process seemed a little shaky.
I’m intrigued at how AA will do as we enter this next phase in our window. It takes an entirely different skill set to build a winner versus maintaining one. Building a team is all about betting big on undervalued assets. When you try to maintain, you’re prone to deviating from good process with the justification “we need this one thing so let’s get it.”
I think he might have nailed the big move (Olson trade and extension), and missed on the ancillary moves. The latter makes this year more difficult, whereas the former keeps the window open.

It's fake though... read through comments and OF and pitcher are on 2 different teams. I didn't notice it
