Rowdy and Solano both
And they didn't even add Tellez until late February as an afterthought.

They seemed perfectly happy to run Luke Raley out there, even though that eliminated their depth in the outfield.

Such buffoonery with this org.

What did they think would happen when an injury hit the outfield or rotation?
This is what I was getting at over the winter. I didn't want much dropoff between my starters and my fourth outfielder. I wanted four solid solid outfielders. But this is more about them not having an actual first baseman
An OFer and a 37 yo 5'8" guy that can no longer hit and a guy that had negative WAR the past two seasons was their plan for 1B.

Yeah, I've been using it for years but something happened. When I hit the attachment button it goes nowhere now. Its probably my phone. I'm getting a replacement laptop here soon, I'll try that. Sibelius gave me some advice but I think It was for a laptop. Then you can see junior!

They had Luke Raley sitting there on a platter with first basemen available by trade or free agency.

Instead they planned to move Raley to first because they figured he was good enough and didn't cost anything.

Pretty insane.

If Tellez didn't come hat in hand, we'd probably be watching Canzone in RF. Which, maybe that would have been better.

Solano and Tellez looking very Dipoto-y so far.

Try downloading Brave browser on your phone, it works much better for the forum. Should just be in the App store or Google Play, wherever you download apps.

Sometimes on Chrome or DuckDuckGo attachments and links don't even show up in posts you're looking at, it's very weird.

Brave browser seems to work perfectly for the forum.
