Checked in with Jo Adell about his transition to center field and his toe tap at the plate.
Also, Luis Rengifo (hamstring) got five at-bats today in an exhibition game.

It is Spring so take things with a grain of salt, but….

Suarez continues to underwhelm.
Quijada is either great or horrible with no in between.
I want Crouse to be good, but have no idea if he will be.

I understand MLB rosters usually are constructed to be as flexible as possible but Suarez, Quijada, Crouse should be anything but locks.

In a meritocracy and effort to field the best bullpen as possible McDaniels and Ryan Johnson make the team.

They likely want to at least try and stretch Johnson out as a starter.

Our pitching depth should render the need for El Demente obsolete.

DFA Suarez and keep the other 3 lefties – Quijada, Burke, McDaniels

What good is a long man in the bullpen that can’t eat innings?

Our POBO, Arte AI sez: “Not much good at all! A long man who can’t actually eat innings is like having a fire extinguisher that only works on small candles. If they’re not providing length when a starter gets knocked out early or saving the bullpen in blowouts, then they’re just a low-leverage reliever taking up a roster spot.”

They have invested like $42 in his development and $38 in American Cheese sandwiches. With that kind of outlay you have to give him every chance.

He’s either gotta have blackmail pics of Arte or him and Perry got a DL tryst going on. Perry just don’t know how to quit him.

When will PTP learn that defense is important for a first rd. pick. 🤔

When it becomes important for a first round pick.

It’s important, but not nearly as much as hit and power. Not even close. He could have found a great fielder available in round one… Which leaves you bitching about PTP taking a glove first player in round one…. but most likely bitching that a guy with power, a hit tool, and a good glove wasn’t available at pick #9 or 11 or where ever if we stick with your bish list.
