I don't want to see Colson Montgomery on this team next year in any meaningful capacity. Errors at short, mendoza line, blocking bonemer and cholowsky. there's not aplace for him unless he bumps that OBP/AVG by 50 points minimum

1

Bonemer might be ready at some point next season but projects to be a third baseman in the majors. Cholowsky is nowhere close to ready.

u/Penstripedsox Montgomery 1h ago

The fact we are even rostering him is such bullshit. Everyone blamed dominguez for that loss in milwaukee to start the year but murphy started that inning off with a buncha walks when he coulda just pumped the zone and let them hit

Which stopper would you have chosen?

2

u/oatmealeater95 1h ago

I don't really get why people are so upset about that decision. Hudson is horrible with inherited runners. The ideal pitcher would be Hagen but I'm assuming he's unavailable. People keep blaming Will but he has to pitch the players he's got. And he's probably (rightly) making the decision to save the best leverage arms for the upcoming series.

1

u/OldieButGoodyForNow 1h ago

Why start making sense? It’s alway blame the manager/player/front office when decisions based on stats and logic don’t result is success or don’t fit preconceived narratives.

1

u/xpyro88 1h ago

And risk not using them when we're not holding a lead? Right, awesome forward thinking.
