This is done purely out of budget reasons to entice teachers to accept lower pay to work less. Any other reason cited is pure bullshit. Districts are looking to slash expenses by 20%. Period.
It also may have a unintended negative consequence on offense overall. If there is no shift allowed, clubs may weight more value in defensive players as they cover more ground and can get outs.. No longer can you stack poor defenders who can mash all on one side of the field with his teammates. So if more and more clubs start stacking up on Adam Everetts, there will be less offense.
5 total players.. Not to mention a Manager and GM. And to top it all off, we are improving from that 2017 squad, not just trying to hold it together.
I've said it before here but Crane is a winner. I think we will always be competitive as long as he's the owner. We are the KC Chiefs of the MLB.
I am going tomorrow; driving in from DFW and taking my boy to see his favorite player, which is Jose Altuve. Before yesterday, we were looking ok as we were only missing Uncle Mike and Yordan and JV was on the bump. Now Altuve is out too and Odo may be on the bump. I guess it could be worse but damn.
It's all about who is hot at the right time.. but yes we absolutely need to be healthy, especially on the mound.. No JV or LMJ last postseason was a killer.
Benintendi will end up a Yankee, let's hope the Royals milk them for all their worth. The Yankees won't be able to resist one of the key reasons the Astros lost the 18 ALCS.
Can we talk floor mats? I just bought a 2016 Silverado and want to replace the stock floor mats with something good.. I have weather tech floor mats in my Expedition but they warp.. I'd like some kind of laser fit that doesn't warp.. any suggestions?
