Do we really think Walker still has a spot in the lineup? On the ML roster? He’s only played in like 1 game this final week. Might be a signal for some surprise announcement /demotion?

1,7,8,9 have been hitting awful both this spring at at the end of last year. Winn has a reasonable expectation of returning to form. The other 3, it’s just who they are.

Sadly, yes

Oli wants him in there and not at Memphis........but we can hope!

I expected more from Bloom…….are these his stupid decisions or Oli’s?

Oli is on record now for months having said Walker "has nothing to gain" going to Memphis and that he wants the major league staff to work w/him instead.

It wouldn't be a good way to start off a POBO/Manager relationship for Bloom not to honor Oli's wishes.

BUT

I'd bet he's not going to give Walker more than to the ASB to prove he deserves to be up here.

I'd pull the ripcord even sooner (Memorial Day) if he's scuffling and send him down.
