The only good thing I can say about Hicks is that he's a good defensive CFer...but that's it. BTW, glad you got your wish to bring up Florial.
Hicks- the replacement contract and player for DingleMcFkngellsbury, and He's doing a fine job sucking the Yanx payroll, for little in return. I recall Hicks 105 mph throw home from LF years ago, and haven't been much impressed by him since, excluding a week out of each season... Downright pisses me off at times to see young talent going to waste down on the Farm. Especially when other Teams give their young blood(s) a shot, in/on the Big Club's Roster, before burying them in obscurity in the Minor's. Granted Florial has had some injuries several times over. eg, on the Rosters at age:/ games played at that age: GT. 21 (123 games) J. Soto 19 (116 games played) R. Acuna Jr. 20 (111 games played) C. Bellinger 21 (132 games) Shoehorn Ohtani 23 (10 Games Started at SP, 82 games DH) K. Bryant 23 (151 games) C. Seager 22 (157 games) C. Correa 20 yrs old.... ahh fk Correa and all the Asstro's, who gives a fk about any of them...~!!~ M. Trout 19 (40 games) Trout at 20: 139 games Harper 19 yrs old (139 games) so on and on and on Estevan Florial 22 yrs old (1 Game/3 Plate Appearances) 6 Minor League Seasons, since the Age of 17
So Florial comes up goes 1-3 in his debut and already sent down as opposed to keeping a talented kid up he’s 22 yrs old and leaving the kid to play centerfield as he is the best one on the current roster. Sent down for mr glass aka Stanton returning for a minute or 2 before he goes back out with some other injury
Shows the stupidity of the Brass. No balls Boner should have fought to keep Florial and DFA one of those Mendoza Line Loads.
From what I've read, Florial's status on the roster, was predetermined when he was called up...I'm sure we'll see him again.
