  1. I can see Sechrist carving out a role someday as. a left hander out of the pen. He's very crafty and the changeup at Tennessee was a great pitch for him. I'm hoping he can turn into a Coulombe type.....
  2. Huh? You mean he didn't retire because he wasn't getting to DH and play 1st base? He didn't prefer being a realtor to being a major league baseball player???? Color me shocked......
  3. I don't get the point of the article pointing out Royce's homerun celebrations....i don't think they're anything out of the "ordinary" in today's game.... And he's playing in front of friends and family in his hometown for the first time.....cut him some slack.
  4. I'm speaking in hyperbole.....(look. it up). What makes no sense with this organization is trading away your entire bullpen including Louie Varland with multiple years of team control. What makes no sense is having guys like Keirsey, Gasper, Fitzgerald (and 90% of your bullpen) on your active roster. What makes no sense is using your September call-ups on Kiersey and Adams instead of seeing what guys like Fedko could do, while playing a guy like Clemons at 1B (he is what he is) instead of giving a guy like Sabato a chance. My point being is I have ZERO confidence in this organization even doing the right thing with a top draft choice the way it's currently being run....and that is coming directly from the owners.
  5. I understand the theory that most teams use for underslot. The way this team is currently run, they will draft the cheapest prospect available and pocket the money., rather than spend it later on.....
  6. On second thought, I wasn't wrong on Adams.....
  7. Yep...I'm wrong. He's the next Rollie Fingers. Seriously....it is bizarre with these fringe guys that every once in a while you will see them in an outing and say......"hey, maybe he doesn't suck". Hatch, Briske, Adams, Funderburk.....
  8. You can't seriously be comparing the 20 year old Walker Jenkins with the 28 year old Deshawn Kiersey???? You can't. SMH
  9. Kiersey had every opportunity earlier this season to show something....anything that would make him deserving of a roster spot. He didn't. Julien at least had a good run of sustained performance that looked like he MIGHT have a future. Kiersey has the bat speed of a slow-pitch softball player.....and he guesses constantly. Not a good combo.
  10. He's fine as a utility player, but there is NO serious MLB team that has him as their full-time starting first baseman....SMH
  11. The Pohlad's should be forced to sit and watch this crap.....
  12. He's 19. A year out high school if he was raised in the US.....I don't think you're going to find too many "polished" catchers at that age.....
  13. Why? What makes you say that? Granted, I've only seen highlights (and I'm betting that's all you've seen too)...but he looks to have a great arm and quick release. The auto-ump will be here shortly so the value of a 'framing" catcher is going to be a thing of the past.
  14. Wow......your analysis is not only thought provoking, but backed up with incredibly strong facts and research. Well done.
  15. Fedko's swing is very simple. Small leg kick and quick hands. I think he has the best chance to have his AAA stats translate to the majors.
  16. Spread out over 550 AB's this year, he hits 40 HR's. He is what he is and will presumably continue to improve. I don't know how you measure defense but I don't think he is terrible. And anyone who thinks his arm isn't borderline elite isn't watching the same guy. I do think one of he or Larnach should grab a 1B glove in the offseason and learn the position. The fact that we have no real first baseman is ridiculous. Clemons isn't the long term answer.
  17. Giancarlo Stanton isn't much better.....17 HR 46 RBI's.....
  18. Not picking on him....just enjoying when he screws up. More of just a douche move. SMH
  19. Dang....I wish i didn't even read that recap....depressing for the most part.
  20. I was trying to find something positive to write about.......I came up with nothing. I don't know how to post a poll....but how about this one??? Worse play by play announcer? Dan Gladden or The A's female play by play lady. ????????
