So was @jsnpritchett and I was pointing out we were nearing consensus by quoting you both.

But I responded to @Dochalo, which makes me smarter.

Fletch is a good movie. Terrible baseball player, though.

Progress.

I’m looking forward to his return; he’s still one of my favorite players on the team.

I love Fletch, but we have so many options now. I'd love for him to take the reins and go back to 2019.

I disagree. I don’t thing we have too many good MIF options right now.

He may have went 0-3, but I bet nobody put the ball in play more weakly than him!

Thinging is important.  

Who is Manny?

Let him get in a spring training worth of work to get his swing in order.

Has his bat connected to a baseball?

Here's what was reported yesterday.  The difference between the two is likely why Blum characterized the situation as "odd."

I wouldn't be shocked if he was traded. Well, maybe a little.

I remember how much Maddon raved about Fletcher when he was first hired... of course, that was a lot of wine bar parties ago.

I'm just not sure what kind of value you could get for him right now (not saying you're necessarily suggesting he'd be traded immediately).  Last year was obviously a complete disaster.  He's been hurt this year and hasn't recaptured any of his value.  He's still owed over $25M on his contract through 2025 (including $3M in buyouts after 2025).  That's obviously not a HUGE amount these days, but it's also not nothing, especially for a guy who right this second looks like a utility MIF/defensive replacement--and as the Angels own roster shows, you can find those guys for essentially nothing.

Definitely in an odd spot with him.

Yes.  And a new one is coming out.  It's called "Confess, Fletch" and stars Jon Hamm:  https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358316/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

if they keep, there won't be anywhere for him to play and someone will get squeezed out of a job during a time when the team is coming together well.

if they trade him, at least two of our INFs will go down with an injury and we'll have no one to replace him.

hmm, thanks for the info. i don't see him (yet) as being as good in the role as chevy chase, but who knows.
