What is their rationale behind preferring Bellinger to Tucker? It's Jan 6 & they've done virtually nothing.

I'm with you. I guess one can say that Bellinger is more versatile and fits their CF and first base need better. Apart from that, Bellinger has had a couple of good years while Tucker is one of the best hitters around and consistent, too. I hope it's all talk and they sign Tucker. Btw, fans are mighty desperate for some real news. Buster Olney makes a brief comment and 82 bloggers repeat it and get clicks.

Well, I've always been a McNeil fan and he's a guy I'd want on my team. Of course, he's well past his prime.
