I’ll bet a wooden nickel that Shildt’s LF today is Tommy Edman. Mo knows if he gives Shildt a better option in LF, Shildt will have Edman playing 3B, RF and 2B; all positions where Mo has invested at least 10mil AAV (assuming he brings Wong back). I’m not getting my hopes up for an impact bat addition, not this offseason.
What Mo could do is include Edman in a impact bat trade and take Shildt’s shiny swiss army knife away from him. Edman was second in GS and PA’s last season, he starts for uncle Mike 🙂
