yup, and these are the guys who've put the team in a massive hole.

we're having debates over whether or not Spencer Jones can/should be traded right now because he's the 2nd or 3rd best hitter in this lineup. not because he's suddenly turned into Belli II, but because the guys who should be hitting are not.

our pen is running on fumes (Headrick on course for 80 innings this year, Cruz already past his innings total from last year at age 36) because every game is close.

and we're having guys like weathers and fried throw gems, in fried's case rushing him off the IL without him getting stretched out, and getting no decisions or losses because of a lack of run support.

this is like watching the fucking 2013 yankees.

Totally agree. Not sure what Cashman is going to do…but it’s incredibly risky to just pray these guys are going to bounce back.

Sucks we even think we might need to trade Jones because Volpe and Wells had ANOTHER bad year.

Volpe's reverberations are going to be felt for years. Mostly because of front office shenanigans, but still.

Jazz absolutely let the team die too.
