Remember when this guy was a somewhat notable piece of the Doug Fister deal?

Tigers got robbed in that trade. Man, if they had kept him and Scherzer, they could have a rotation of Price, Scherzer, Sanchez, Verlander and Fister. Wow.

Tigers saved $50,000,000 by making the trade. Robbie Ray looks like he will be a star. Jury is still out.
Also, Price would not be part of the rotation if Fister was on the rotation. They would not be able to afford both salaries.

He really never got much of a shot in Pittsburgh. At least he’s versatile.

Giants are trying to shore up their bench, maybe they take a flyer on him?

That would be great, except that he would immediately improve and cause the Nationals trouble in the playoffs, guaranteed.

Nats trouble in the playoffs? When they make it past the NLDS, then maybe I’ll consider it! 😉

Exactly what I was thinking. Adrianza and Arias have been absolutely horrible this season, he couldn’t possibly be worse and plays more positions.

The Giants are looking for versatility more than anything. Maxwell plays all 3 OF, Arias all 4 IF, and Adrianza plays the MI. For any of them to be supplanted, the newcomer has to play all the same positions (and hit better). I think Lombardozzi does enough to take Adrianza’s spot.

We Nats fans sure did take a liking to Lombo, but were willing to let go as soon as we saw he was part of the Fister trade. I hope Fister can replicate last year’s success a bit better tonight and for the rest of the season.
