We had a stars aligning moment that I'm grateful to have experienced. That doesn't negate the decades of Baird, Robinson, Pioli, King_Carl, and even DM has shown he is a bonehead from time to time. Although, for the most part his 12 years is forgiven for a WS title mixed in there.

That being said, I’d still rather see Mondesi starting at SS full time this year. |

If they are confident they can convert Mondesi into an elite defensive CF, I can certainly live with that.
The Escobar deal being so small is totally fine. They wouldn't have been able to sign an "insurance" SS for much less than that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like he's slated to be a back up/utility guy, which wouldn't necessarily be horrible if he can hit a little. We'll also likely have an opening at 3rd he could complete for. |

I mean the question with Mondi is...well, it isn't a question... he can't ****ing hit. But neither can Hercules. I guess if we are going to lose 100 games, I'd rather do it with Mondi learning at the big league level than the downside of Escobar's career.

Way to early to make that distinction. He has a tremendous tool set (bat speed, barrel control, hand-eye). A few hundred ABs when he had been rushed to the major leagues too soon is not close to enough to make a call about. George Brett had a sub-.600 OPS at a similar stage in his development. Thank the gods they didn't give up on him then.
