“Schhhhhrrrrraw-haw-hawk,” he wailed and whimpered, over and over, to no one in particular. It might surprise you to learn that despite being Max Schrock’s #1 supporter, I still approve this morning’s trade that sent Schrock and fellow middle infield prospect Yairo Muñoz to the St. Louis Cardinals for right-fielder Stephen Piscotty.
This despite the fact that as I went to bed last night, having not heard Schrock’s name once mentioned in connection to the talks, I had a sudden panic attack over who the second piece would be in the deal. “Just be anyone but Schrock,” I pleaded to the same no one in particular.
