They wanted PCA to prove that he deserved the lead off spot. He’s getting close by me. I’d bat PCA first , Happ, fifth and drop Swanson to seventh.
that would provide on base disruption before and protection after the heart of the line up.
It’s not at all like professional sports. There they have multi year contracts and teams can’t offer biggest contracts to players that are tied to other teams. Pros aren’t near as crazy
I don’t know if I’ll phrase this right but we need to get to the point where Brown is the star player that needs lots of touches and Crooks is just a 25 point/game complementary player.
As a cubs fan that used to say “give me one World Series and I’ll be happy forever”. I know that this is a lie. After one title you really want another.
