I can’t wait for Joe Espada to take over

Dusty Baker is a national treasure, and was a great guy to come in and take the heat after the scandal. Unfortunately, he isn’t an analytical manager, and is part of one of the most successful analytics-based teams.

We traded for Trey Mancini who can play 1st, DH, and get some reps in at LF because of obvious lack of offensive production at 1B and a glaring Michael Brantley injury. I understand that Yuli has been picking it up lately, but what was the point of the trade then? Trey Mancini is being forced to ride the bench and play every 3 days because Dusty Baker believe OPS is “just fan stuff”.

I can’t wait for a younger and much more flexible guy like Espada to take his spot and really understand what Click is trying to do.
