  1. It's like we're trotting Kintzler out there all over again
  2. Well technically he only faced him today. Walks don't count as an official AB I believe so it's really however you want to call it. Gordon is now officially 0-1 against Parker. May it continue all season
  3. I like Pillar, just seems like 3 young players is a lot to give up for a guy when your team is already terrible. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/26423551/giants-acquire-outfielder-pillar-blue-jays
  4. I'm really glad we traded him to the Yankees
  5. Well we definitely don't want buck batting after the little chubby guy. We all saw what happened when you do that. *cue sad trombone*
  6. And from what I recall they were actively holding Polanco on the bag with the first baseman's position. A legit complaint is one thing but sheesh enjoy the win amirite?
  7. A rookie manager won it all last year.... Just saying
  8. Lindor suffered an "acute" left ankle sprain while running the bases. No timetable for a return. https://www.wkyc.com/article/sports/mlb/indians/cleveland-indians-francisco-lindor-suffers-sprained-ankle-timetable-for-return-tbd/95-6e18173d-a852-4702-bebe-5f1ade011715 This means the door is open. AL Central - Twins AL East - Yankees AL West - Astros Wild Cards - Red Sox, Angels NL Central - Cards NL East - Braves NL West - Dodgers Wild Cards - Brewers, Phillies AL Champ: Yankees NL Champ: Braves World Series Champ: Yankees AL MVP - Trout AL Cy Young - Gerritt Cole AL Rookie of the Year - Vlad Guerrero Jr NL MVP - Ronald Acuna NL Cy Young - Scherzer NL Rookie of the Year - Peter Alonso
  9. Thank the lord he's still a resident of New Jersey apparently. If he lived in California, that income tax would take a significant portion.
  10. Part of this has to be put on the patient as well. The medical staff can only do so much if there's a lack of communication. If he's not telling them that he thinks something is wrong then that's on him. Not giving a pass to the medical staff but Sano does deserve some of the blame for this.
  11. I don't think anyone is going to have too hard of a time hitting against the Orioles
  12. I mean, would we lose any sleep if he doesn't make it through?
  13. I don't know. He may help us beat Cleveland. Merlin is a bit of a wizard after all.
  14. So if you're a middle tier starter you should start marketing yourself as a guy who's willing to be a middle reliever. If the market changes you need to change with it.
  15. That's 9 guys. One of which, Napoli, never played with us. So that means they've brought in 8 guys that have connections with 2 other organizations. Forgive me if I'm coming across as dismissive as I'm not trying to be, it just seems to me that you're really intent on following this trail that doesn't seem to lead anywhere.
  16. Not really. Employers are more likely to hire people who've worked under them before. That allows the person signing the checks to have a good idea how a possible addition would fit within their organization. Until we starting getting stories about how the first thing falvine does in every meeting is say "Alright, who's the former Ranger/Indian we can sign today?", this entire argument that they're ignoring other possible players just because they didn't play for Tex/Cle is, in a word, ridiculous.
  17. Olt, Age 29 season: 787 OPS in 71 games, Eastern League Derrik Gibson, Age 29 season: 867 OPS in 34 games, PCL (hitter friendly, sss) Mejias-Brean, Age 27 season: 736 OPS in 96 games, PCL (hitter friendly, sss) Marte, Age 27 season: 644 OPS in 90 games, MLB Asche, Age 28 season: 750 OPS in 89 games, PCL (hitter friendly, sss: career 668 OPS in MLB, 5 seasons) None of who you suggested is really that much younger, or better for that matter. So then Falvine actually did what you wanted. Instead of signing plouffe to a minors deal they signed the "younger" player. I will also point out that Olt hasn't been a part of the Rangers org since 2013. Not like they're signing him straight off the field from Round Rock... which coincidentally is where Plouffe finished out his season. Again, this is a completely organizational filler signing of a guy who just so happened to play for Texas at one point in his career. There's not a massive Indians-Rangers roster move conspiracy here.
