Klentak regarding Joseph/Hoskins situation: "We’re not going to rush anything while we’re getting pretty good production out of first base."

Yeah, no rush. Hoskins will only be 25 next season in AAA hitting bombs left and right.

And the current production is not really all that good

I think Hoskins will be the guy soon enough and rightfully so, but Joseph has an .820 OPS with 60 XBH in his last 162 games. People get a bit over dramatic about how "bad" he is.

If you're referring to me, I never said Joseph was bad. I like Joseph but Hoskins should be in majors right now, or at the latest in September. Joseph will be a nice power bat off the bench next season.

I would actually say you might see a high scoring game. The OF is raking, Hernandez is hitting well, Maik and Fred are hitting dingers. Also, Velasquez is kinda stinky.

On that team I remember the meet and greet I went to as a kid and the nicest stars were Dykstra and Hollins.

Daulton didn't seem like a jerk but he didn't want to be there obviously. Still an all time favorite.

What is Alfaro's situation? I vaguely remember reading something about the team needing to put him on the Opening Day roster next season.
