As to Herrera, what happened last year is we thoroughly established that he is not a catcher and failed to establish that he can play any other position. A fine job of minimizing his value. Another feather in Mo’s cap.
It has also occurred to me that it would have been smart to have Arenado play a half dozen or so games at 1B. Enough to generate some video to give the lame sounding 1B narrative a bit of pop. That would have been thinking ahead, though. That might be feather worthy, too, considering Mo gets paid to think of stuff.
