I would not be upset if they kept a bench player that could crush lefties and hit for some power with little else. But Olt hasn't even done that this year. He's only a mid-700 OPS against lefties and a negative WAR overall.
Maybe he's talking about Olt's eyes. You guys must have missed the edit. I mean, if you are going to go through the effort to add the edit and change the title, why not just rewrite the actual post?
plenty of good seats available in DC, and Arthur will be past there by game time while probably soaking the Jersey shore. Maybe I need a detour this weekend.
If he does play he sets back his HOF eligibility, no? I could see him harboring thoughts of this being an audition for a contract in the offseason, but I think he just wants to be involved in baseball.
I don't see any. He's a player/coach and I think the Cubs value the "coach" part more than the player part. I think if Baez or Soler were to come up to the majors this year, Manny might be able to come along as like an escort, but I don't see it this year. What if has a 1500 OPS the next 2 months? And a couple current OF get hurt?
