can we put this discussion to bed once and for all, boys?
cron = 1b and DH
valbuena = 1b, 3b, and DH (if needed)
we ALL agree that we'd rather have cron than valbuena, BUT THERE WASN'T ROOM ON THE ROSTER TO CARRY HIM SINCE HE COULD ONLY PLAY ONE POSITION. A multi-position player was needed after Ohtani was signed, knowing that he was going to DH when he wasn't pitching.
none of us like having valbuena, but it is what it is, and hopefully his DFA day will give us cause to celebrate together and hold hands while singing "if you're happy and you know clap your hands."
