On the heels of the New York Post article, you decide that you might as well back up your thoughts and go tell Sandy Alderson and the boys what you think. Surely, you were hired to make talent judgements once the players go between the white lines, right?
Unfortunately, the conversation doesn’t go quite as well as you had hoped.
You: Guys, I gotta tell you, this Luis Hernandez is a baseball player.
Sandy: But Terry, Luis doesn’t really have a lot of at-bats, this spring. Besides, J.P. and I would like to see you give Emaus a longer look. He’s a Rule V guy who can get on base. We think he’ll do just fine for you.
You: But Sandy, Emaus’ spring average is in the toilet. Besides, did you see Hernandez hit a home run with a broken foot?
J.P.: Look, we have to give Emaus a longer look here. This lineup needs men on base.
You: J.P., I need a good defender up the middle. This guy can get it done for me.
Sandy: Look, we got Emaus for a reason. Now I don’t want to hear any of this Luis Hernandez nonsense.
You seem at a loss. The conversation is going nowhere. But you have options. You can:
Accept the wishes of the front office and give Brad Emaus a longer look. Or …
Accentuate your point by biting the head off a chicken in front of the brass.
