-0.6/-0.9 WAR last year. How can he be your starting 1b if you’re trying to contend?

He’ll probably start at first if Lewis gets hurt again

This is what happens when you let your 12-year-old owner also be the General Manager and Manager of the team he owns.

This only makes sense if they know what led to his nose dive. Not “think,” not “watched some ABs from early seasons,” but know. And because he wasn’t on the team until now, I think they simply can’t *know.* This is someone in the org with a hunch who might get asked some tough questions in June.

The math their doing on 1B is grim af

The worst part is, if you are the Twins? You basically have to tell France to start leaning into them again. Because without the hbps, he's just not a very good option.

And, because he's so incredibly slow for a major league baseball player, the value of him being on first is different. It's better than getting an out of course, but you want to talk about a station to station player. Then you add in below average defense at best and well, I don't get it.
