All Quiet on the Minor-League Front
With all eyes and interest on the free-agent signings, there’s not much else to pass along in our little corner of the Natmosphere.
Lucius Fox became the latest casualty of Mike Rizzo’s dumpster-dive approach to filling out the Washington/Rochester bullpen(s). About the only effect this has is reducing the 2022 Senators shortstops’ chances of making the 2023 Red Wings Opening Day roster, assuming there’s a means of measuring the gap between nil and none.
Otherwise, I return you to the 2022-2023 Offseason doldrums…
happy to see Tommy Romero re-signed. still young enough to make it.
Spike lives!
I’ve mentioned this before but I hope Lucius Fox is good with money. The Giants gave him $6 million when they signed him in 3015. He has never hit at any level.
$6 million goes a long ways in the Bahamas.
2015.
I’ve rarely seen anyone look as overmatched in an MLB batter’s box as Fox looked last season (2 for 25 at the plate).
Gotta love Rizzo, who just couldn’t resist claiming a guy with a 6.30 ERA who can’t hit the broad side of a barn. Speaking of such fellas, I see that Sam Clay has signed with the D-Backs.
$6M goes a long way anywhere, but the Bahamas are a developed country with a very high HDI, unlike, say, Venezuela. Third-wealthiest country by HDI in North America after Canada and the United States, fifth-wealthiest in all the Americas (Chile and Argentina).
