Difo was a decent utility guy for Nats. In 2018 he was their usual starter at 2B. Hit a lot better as a reserve when he didn't play as often. Can play 2B, 3B, SS and all OF spots. He's a decent utility guy. Just seems odd that if you're only going to address one area on the team, it would be that one.

Sounds like he is a JHay clone!

They forgot to clone the All Star version.

In terms of versatility, yes. But I don't think Difo can provide the offense that JHay provided in his peak years.

And there's no way he could duplicate J Hay's infectious enthusiasm.

I miss that.

Don't forget, BC is now in 2nd phase of evaluation mode. He needs to see if he can find a JHay clone. ;D

Can he find a Ron Burkle clone?

Burkle is too smart to become a partner with BOB. Burkle should have given BC and Travis Williams some smarts to steer clear of BOB.

I would be leery of anyone who wants to become partners with Bob
