Alex 2-33 skid which is worse. 2 walks 6 punch outs. Since May 1 he has an 86wRC+ in 342 Pa. Dude needs to be given some games off here and there. [Reply]
I'm fine with Alex continuing to play. His offensive struggles help push us closer to that Top 3 pick, we still get to see some outstanding defense in LF, and fans get a long goodbye tour and multiple chances to see him before he exits stage left after this season . . . . . [Reply]

Have you seen him play D the last few weeks? It's not good. He's declining and it's not a slow process. [Reply]

He made a really nice play yesterday taking a rebound off the wall and throwing a dart to 2nd to keep the runner to a single. The throw was absolutely perfect. [Reply]
It will be nice with Gordon gone this year, Kennedy after 2020, and Duffy after 2021. Assuming some of the pitching continues to develop the team should have the flexibility to sign some position players. There is shit for hitting talent coming up any time soon, so free agency is probably the only answer. [Reply]
