I've been stuck in a hotel in Orlando Florida unable to get out due to hurricane Ian since Sunday.
And even though I have DirecTV on my phone, and I also have the MLBPackage, every time the game starts, it's blacked out and I'm prohibited from getting it
That being the case, other than a few highlights on my phone, I've not been able to watch Ford Proctor. Can someone tell me if this kid is legit or not? Even though it's a small game size sample?

I haven't seen him but I think at most, he's a backup to Thairo and emergency catcher. This is another guy I don't understand why they went after him.

From what I heard before I left on Sunday, was that he was a guy that could play everywhere. And the one game that I saw, he was playing 2nd base.
I caught some videos of his at bats, and they didn't look bad. He certainly did not look overwhelmed. And I wouldn't mind a handyman on the club that can run some. That's assuming he can run some.

Apparently Proctor is a former 3rd round draft choice of the Rays. I don't mind him on the team but I would get worried if most of the team consisted of either old slow guys or platoon guys. He appears to me like what Kiki Hernandez used to do with the Dodgers but less pop but more versatility in the field.

And I would too. The scary thing was I listened to a Podcast with coal kiper and Alec Pavlovic, and Cole said he would rather have Aaron judge on the team at a bunch of nobodies simply to watch the number of people wearing his jersey in the stands. He didn't care if we won or not!
He said that was the way the team was what he was growing up and he missed that. If that's the attitude of our fans, I don't know what to say.
You don't care if we win, as long as we have a star. Sheesh. Can you say stupid? Let me count the ways

Even my nieces and nephews, who I would consider casual fans know better. Cole Kuiper only was a job because of his last name. |

BINGO!
I've only listened to him a hand full of times but he floored me with what he DIDN'T know.
