Huh? Three guys start this game. A different three guys start the next game.E5 Yaz said:
But not at the same time
Is there anyone in the universe that thinks we're going to have Craig, Nava, Ramirez, Castillo, Betts, and Victorino on the roster?bosockboy said:Not with both Craig and Nava on the roster. There's still a numbers issue.
How does this even make sense?reggiecleveland said:I think he expects they will conveniently stagger their injuries.

You rotate Vic, Castillo, and Betts in center and right and that's 108 games for each of them.
You pinch run liberally, use a defensive replacement for Ramirez and you've got them all in a bunch more games.
Morgan's Magic Snowplow said:Undeniably true. At the same time, if Castillo is a 3 win player over a full season and Victorino is a 1 win player, then the expected win cost of playing Victorino over Castillo for 20 games is around a quarter of a win. And that's assuming that Victorino is total shit at this point in his career. The stakes of this decision are not measured in wins, but in small fractions of a single win.
Victorino is a vet so he can speak out. The rookie is in a new league and a new country so he stays quiet.RoyalOrange said:
Have we heard one quote from Rusney throughout all of this? If not, it's funny to me that the new young(ish) kid seems to have more tact than the "seasoned veteran".

This is the way it has always been, I have no idea why that seems odd to you.
I love me some Rusney but hang on to your options something is going to happen. If that something is a trade of one of the vets then fine, but there is no need to give them away.
No shit, but the fact that they haven't played full seasons in a while suggests they'll struggle to do it this year.RoyalOrange said:
It makes sense because you referenced games played in the past due to injuries. Just because they've averaged 120 games played doesn't mean they've done it by choice.

And is the concept of resting people before they get hurt so foreign?

Do you have a contract with SoSH where all of your replies have to have a dickish question embedded?
I guess you're just the optimistic man in the room. Judging from Vic's quotes so far, doesn't sound like he is going to buy in to these Rasputin Rest Days to ward off any future injuries. And I, for one, am not too keen on the 3 more talented outfielders resting 50 games a piece "before they get hurt".

There is no Rev said:You guys know that Castillo doesn't speak English, right?

What is Victorino going to do? Piss in the gatorade? He has no choice but to "buy in." If Victorino stays healthy enough to play 125 games again and puts up another 118 OPS+ with GG defense and the Betts is God for 145-150 games and Hanley gives them 140 games of Hanley; and if Castillo has to spend ONE stinkin' season as a part-timer the world will not end. None of those are close to a certainty.
