So, Manny's joining the I-Cubs next week. Now that Bryant is there, I'm going to be even pissier about every AB Ramirez gets.

 

You'll be mailing Ramirez your panties when he, Baez, and Bryant go back-to-back-to-back.

 

Hmmm . . . could we call three home runs in a row the Human Centipede?

No, I won't. I don't give a fuck about Manny's offensive contributions because I don't care about the I-Cubs winning games. If Manny bats 8th, fine. I don't want his spot in the order to affect the way Baez and Bryant are getting pitched.

 

It's my opinion that not one roster spot in the entire farm system should be occupied by someone without a yardstick and goals for promotion. Manny wants to be a coach? Fine, let him coach.

There are plenty of filler players in the minors with very little (if any) any hope for promotion.
