If he doesn't play in at least 140 games this guy will be another of Sabean's bust signings.
I still think Velez and Uribe should be in the lineup but chances of that are low because of the Huff/DeRosa signings.
I think he's another infatuation of Brian's. Like others such as Rent he sees with rose colored glasses of 5 years ago.
Since giving away a guy who never even played a game with the ML team requires no "saving face" in my opinion.
Sure would rather have a healthy Uggla at 7.8 mil though. Sanchez has alway hit for a a somewhat empty average with little production from the hits.
Clearly his style suits the ballpark but if he can't make it into the line-up regularly it's just a TON of wasted money.
We had to pay 2 mil for 26 spotty injury riddled games last year and then should have only offered 1 year if anything if we needed to "save face".
12 million over 2 years for aging and oft injured "potential" is another headscratcher for Neukom.
Wonder what Molina will think of these scrubs when he's out hitting them at 2 mil less.
