- Gaithwright
- Miles
- Hoff?
- Bako
- ?
Our bench/utility players look mighty shitty, if you ask me.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Gathright is maybe the fastest guy in baseball, that's what we're using him for.
Miles is a good baseball player and can play all over the place.
Hoffpauir is a fine lefty bat that would be starting for some AL teams.
Bako is a backup catcher. He's good defensively and knows how to work with pitchers well. This is all you want out of a backup catcher.
We're going to either lead the league or be up there in the top 3 in runs scored. We're going to be right up there across the board. All of this complaining is insane. We're going to win the division and it won't be close. Is the team better off for the playoffs right now? I think so. It sure wasn't working with what we had last year. And when we're there, we're not going to be playing the Bako's. Gathright will be our Dave Roberts.
Also, you're not living anywhere close to reality if you think that whatever problems there are won't be solved during the season like Hendry does every single trade deadline. Oh shit we might need a backup shortstop or second baseman? Oh fuck I feel shit dripping down my leg how will they survive in this mighty division with Aaron Miles? So what if he hit .317, ten other guys in baseball did. There's no way we can find a backup infielder during the season!
