Man, that is a crazy direct indictment on Mondesi's health. You don't hear that very often from GMs. He could have said "We love Mondesi and he hasn't shown the ability to play 162 games yet but we have faith he will be able to do that in the future. We are still going to try to find a back up SS in case he can't give it a go".

Makes me wonder if some of these injuries the org thinks he can play through. I seem to remember a similar sentiment when he was in AA.
