well, the fans arent the problem - thru 70 pa's benson looks like he's never hit in his life and freeman looks like he's never played the game before - but sss and still have hope for bothMeh Brennan's contact oriented skillset might translate better to the bigs than Benson etc but he's been clearly a less productive offensive player than many players including Benson and Jones that IMO calling him up just reeks of "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" which isn't exactly something we have the luxury of doing with the roster situation. It takes a little extra commitment to claim someone in the Rule 5 than it does off waivers so keeping some of these guys in AAA just might be the answer going into next season unless we're really sure we want them in the lineup and I don't really know why we'd think that's the case with Brennan. Fans have already turned on Benson and Freeman with less than 70 PA between them. We can't afford to keep doing this. Work with the guys we've got up there see what they got before rotating the next round in there...

to be sure, we have stuck with some guys - miller's at 400 pa's and? gonzalez now at 200+ - shoot, and w/o getting into the board controversy, straw's at 400+ - have those guys shown to be future every day guys? maybe miller needs to spend time here in cbus to start '23 - wouldnt be the first guy to come thru in his third try - not sure what to think about straw with his 1400 pa's - hoping this is just an aberattionaly bad year - have no idea what to think of oscar

weird time with the roster, the want/need to look at new guys, oh and btw, the first place position heading into september
