it's genius

give Wilk some confidence by allowing him a RBI hit and they keep him on the roster for another year

To be fair

there was like a 65% chance of that happening anyway.

Ok I'm starting to get tired of defending Wilk...

Even though he is admittedly still our best option.

The Vidro trade was the stupidest trade I've even seen

I can totally see them re-signing Johjima because the M’s don’t cut veterans loose until the completely roll off a cliff. They’d then move Clement D… holy shit that is stupid.
