Reusse is such a contrarian that he won't listen to the people. He also shouldn't be afraid of naming an otherwise competent individual who's acted like a 'Turkey'. J Robinson for example.
The Marlins had one of the worst team on-bases in the league. No thanks if Bonds can't even get the hitters to be average at the most important stat for an offense.
This seems like a different Dodgers organization. The young talent is more valued, contracts aren't wastefully given out. Dozier is under a team friendly deal so that helps, but that doesn't mean the Dodgers would give up a lot to get Dozier.
What does candidate mean in this instance? The Twins are interested or did the search firm hear from Anthopoulos through his people he's interested? Because the former is kind of no duh rumor and the latter is a significant report.
They've already walked back making a hire immediately after the season. Could still happen but that's probably got more to do with availability than anything else.
It's a deserving demotion to Rochester. Sometimes performance or lack thereof is reason enough Player development is a problem but it's not like most of the other young hitters haven't shown something in the major leagues. I have doubts about a few ever being great long term players but at least it's something.
Looks like a solid return but not honestly not expecting all that much. Rare for teams to give up top young talent and less so if the return if a utility infielder having a career season.
Does this mean anything who might be traded before July 31? Is it possible getting young starting pitcher close to major league ready possibly mean Santana could be dealt?
Big deal in how it's covered by the national baseball press. I don't think it's in the same ballpark of when being a batting champion was a big story. Now it feels like the winners are mentioned without any fanfare the last day of the season.
