Listened to Legler analyzing this trade right after it was announced. He called Klay an “excellent” defender, emphasizing excellent as he spoke, adding whatever weight his word has to what my own eyeballs were saying.
I viewed Tim as a capable but stupid defender, often getting lost on rotations. Klay to me looks like a major upgrade on any of the three.
I’m less confident than the rest of the board in our new bench pieces. If they are as advertised, it’s gonna be a great year. If not, we’ll still have Exum, Hardy, O-max, Kleber, Gaff, and that’s not terrible. So I’m happy with the modest swings at these pitches.
76 you say? That’s almost old enough to run for President!

Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
