For me, there are still more holes in the M's roster than the Mandela Effect theory.
Gallardo as a #5SP isn't the end of the world. But it's not exactly pioneering a new one either.
Martin, in my opinion, should either be a 4th OF or, GONE. Not only is he no longer one of our best outfielders (he's our worst), but he's not even our best center fielder (he's our worst).
1B is a position that should have been taken care of by now, with conviction. Now, we're left with another roll of the dice this season. Only, it seems to be with weighted dice, because there isn't even the warm, fuzzy feeling about the 1B situation like there usually is. The upside is not evident, to me. Anybody really want to put money on a guy the A's cast off?!
As far as the Mandela Effect goes, I wish I'd wake up one day to find that the Mariners actually DID win a World Series! Unfortunately, that hasn't happened. And then I'm presented with the choice, would I really rather they won a World Series, if I don't remember the wins?!
Hmm, quite a quandary.
