    If I'm Sano, I want to see that this is a place worth staying before I ink that. In a year we could just as easily be looking at a mini-rebuild again as we could competing.
  2. TheLeviathan
    I'm really not surprised that steady playing time and work at one position has made these guys better fielders. It really shouldn't surprise anyone. What's surprising is how long it took to get here.....
  3. TheLeviathan
    Really looking forward to it.

    Plus, this is the same manager that debuted him in the third spot to start the year. If Buxton shows he doesn't need to be pinch-hit for, I'm betting it stops in a hurry.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Oh, I'm sure a lot of the crew here would appreciate that. Share them here, that's far too rich to keep a secret!
  6. TheLeviathan
    Country Kitchen coupons ya think?
  7. TheLeviathan
    Gibson is a problem for this year. Buxton's struggles threaten the entire foundation of what we thought we were building.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Well, I suppose that depends on how close to "league average" he is. If he's above or below, how many teams are in the races, injuries, and so many other things are factors. But I think he'll have significant value.
  9. TheLeviathan
    I disagree that reliever depth and starter depth are the same or that one will affect the other. Breslow, so far as I can see, should have no bearing on that.
  10. TheLeviathan
    I referenced starting depth, how does losing Breslow change that? What scenario do you see impacting that?
  11. TheLeviathan
    I guess I'm not sure how cutting Breslow (for example) changes this?
  12. TheLeviathan
    Right, our depth right now has to look something like this: Duffey Berrios ....... Haley? Tepesch? That could get real ugly, real fast.
  13. TheLeviathan
    That's a fair point, I guess it comes down to how effective that changeup can be.
  14. TheLeviathan
    As a general rule, I think you should exhaust your options to leave a guy in the rotation before you move him to the pen. I'm not sure we've exhausted our options yet with Duffey.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Given that ownership and the former GM both have stated in the past that budgets and money for the team don't work that way.....not really.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Bit of a small sample to declare those trade wins wouldn't ya say? (And this is from someone that argued vociferously that the deal was a good one at the time) It's not like we spent the Nolasco money this offseason either, so let's not go down that road....
  17. TheLeviathan
    Winner.
  18. TheLeviathan
    A player you have control over for more than a year+ has tremendous value to your objective as well. At the end of the day, the team needs to be able to identify and acquire the players that will push us to contention. Dealing short term controlled vets in down years seems like one ideal way to do that.
  19. TheLeviathan
    So what has to be the main piece? I feel like you, and some others, say these things but there really isn't much actual substance to it. Or you're well aware your expectations are unrealistic. You demand a return so narrowly defined as acceptable that you basically stack the deck for your skepticism to be warranted. So is your main piece demand based in the real world or are we back to a lot of what it seemed like this offseason with Dozier?
  20. TheLeviathan
    If you're a child of the 90s like me, then I think this will be a wonderful way to spend some time. My god that show was brilliant. Some of the anecdotes and stories in this are just amazing.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Well, you can never know for sure. But you're suggesting a good starter with some control will net less than Eduardo Nunez. I understand skepticism, but don't you think you're taking it a tad farther than that?
  22. TheLeviathan
    I am wary of trending down the "what could we get in a trade" road. But I'll say this: A good return with a Top 50 pitching prospect in it may not make you fall out of your chair. "Good return", thanks to Dozier this offseason, seems to have morphed into "blow me away" territory. A top 50 SP prospect and one or two other guys with upside is what I'd look for. The closer to the majors the better.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Keep it up Ervin. It'll make for a fun end of July!
  24. TheLeviathan
    Yeah and if you're going to do it, aren't you pretty much hell bent on stealing a base too? That never seems to happen either.
