Quinn if he stays healthy? (I know, I know) When Quinn gave up switch-hitting for a while, it was to bat right-handed. If that's the side he's comfortable on, it makes sense to use him to spell Haseley versus lefties.

I'd hope Quinn is the worst case scenario if their other targets don't work out.

Odubel is going to figure into the CF plans at some point.

I assume it will be Haseley/Quinn to start and Dubes in AAA if all goes as planned, but if he's playing well and/or either of the other two struggle/hurt, he'll be next man up. Klentak already said as much... "he has to earn whatever he's going to get".

Only thing he's earned is a one way ticket out of town!

Maybe hits baseballs for a month or two at AAA and not women, he will build up a little trade value to a team that has injuries or OF needs
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

What do you guys think they're going to do with him? They arent going to drop him. No one will trade for him. My guess is that no one will even talk about him for the next couple months, but if he's playing better or more healthy than Haseley/Quinn at any point, he'll be our CF. Ray Rice is the only professional player to get permanently banished and that was totally different circumstances.

Even if we don't want him, we have to let him "prove" he can play. If he can play, he'll get chances. Roberto Osuna, etc.

Of course, there's also another scenario, where Kingery plays some cf, and someone else backfills at 3b

If his OPS is 1.000 in AAA, he'll get a job in MLB with someone.

Saved the pre-game ice cream. What would we do without hearing about the adventures of Tommy TuScoop every game?
