From that quote I come away confused as to what role they expect Zawadzki to play. Perpetual back-up and sometimes starter wherever he’s needed? If he’s to be an improved Hector Jimenez, fine. But then we need players better than he is at 2-3 positions. Anyway, it’s a long-ish off-season for us this year. I’ll try and chill out and just wait to see what happens.
Well your either protected or your not. He will rotate with Max, Farsi & Herrera. Who starts and gets the most minutes will vary. Only person he would displace would be Arfsten but it’s not like either one will be shipped out or barely play. The way we play involves the LWB doing a lot of running so they both will play. We got Jones for a reason and after a preseason he might beat Max out for the starting role. He is better defensively so it’s all about Nancy and his line up preference which can change game to game.
If we are not selling Schulte then yes it would be better to get another GK and sell Hagen. Will they do that ? Idk but i don’t think it’s a high priority.
Yeboah is still under contract with an option year if we can sell him and get money we should buy that requires a buyer. Who wants him ? Do you think we have any good offers ? Tiny Vampire 1M investment was not a loss even if we let him work. But you can’t sell everyone on the last year of their contract nor can you extend them all. You have to pick and choose and I think we likely made an offer and he wants to move on. That’s going to happen and Hinestroza man sometimes you just have to cut your losses.
I'd like to agree but as others have noted it seems a lot like he's passing along excuses for not having anything much in the pipeline.
Yeah, he should specifically tell us who he and Nancy are trying to sign, the transfer fee, how much GAM will be used, and what the salary will be. Ya know, like all GMs around the world do. oh wait…
Right, because that's what we're talking about. The names of specific players. No, what we're tryng to understand is what position(s) the team is looking to focus on.
Talking about specific players here or elsewhere would be nonsense and that's a ridiculous thing to say.
I suppose I just don’t understand Bill’s original comment of calling him Captain Obvious. Unless it was meant as nothing more than cheap snark, which if fair enough around here. He said what literally any GM would say, which is the bare minimum.
Even that is probably not going to come out publicly until they feel they have a player locked into a deal. The vague answer Tall gave recently is about the best you can hope for
Trade Hagen to San Diego in exchange for them not picking anyone from our team, and they give us a second round draft picl or something like that.
