I agree it’s getting to the point where both Vientos and Baty have to show something at the MLB level. I’ve been encouraged by Vientos in a small sample size. At least he has power. Baty hit 2 HRs yesterday in Syracuse but in the majors he just pounds the ball into the ground. I hope they both are building blocks but I’ll take 1 at this point.

I really miss Diaz the 2022 version !! Diaz really needs to get a grip - I heard he was crying in the locker room - doesn't he know THERE IS NO CRYING IN BASEBALL ! Then I heard he was talking nonsense about him being willing to change his role to help the team. Maybe Cohen needs to hire a Sports Shrink - for real teams used to have them. Once his shoulder is better Diaz needs to man-up - strengthen his arm - toss a football or wet softball , learn a new pitch , etc.

We don't wish injuries but Alonso being out for a couple weeks would have been a way to have both Baty and Vientos play. Baty needs to learn how to play a middle infield position. If he has any real skills there, he would have filled in for McNeil.

Justin, making last chance statements like you did in this article is complete nonsense without proof. Do you really have insight into front office thinking to make a statement? If so, prove it with a quote, otherwise enough w the hyperbole speculation, we’ve got enough to worry about with this team.
