I can't even post on LL or USSM today because I don't want to catch their guff for stating how insignificant the loss of Langerhans is.
We get it, he's a plus defender and he's cheap. However, our management group saw him nothing more than an occasional pinch hitter or pinch runner. He was not going to serve a major role on this team, so losing him does not effect this team's chances of winning one iota. There is an argument to be made that if the roster was properly deployed that Langerhans would be somehwat valuable, but it was evident to me that managment really had no interest in giving him a bigger role than I outlined above.
To be honest, I hope Langerhans is claimed by somebody because Im tired of hearing about him and how valuable he is from the M's blog-o-sphere. I fully understand the concept of cheap talent and great defense, but the love Langerhans gets from a portion of our fanbase is too much to stomach at times.
