  1. Glad that all signs point to this happening. It should. It needs to.
  2. Defensively. And the o-line is pretty damn good. So, yes and no?
  3. I agree, but the problem is we have been sold for awhile that Leidner could be, or would be, more than that. And he never even managed to be all that mediocre.
  4. I agree that the line play suffered badly in the second half. But good lord some of those interceptions were inexcusable. Bad high school QB bad.
  5. Great site guys, it's come a long way with a lot of hard work and dedication. You should be proud of it.
  6. Ramos helps no one in the short term. He's likely out all most of next year.
  7. I'd rather not invest that much in someone so consistently hurt.
  8. I couldn't care less about WAR for catchers.
  9. Look at it another way, we just swapped the arb. price of roster complicating Plouffe for a major upgrade at catcher. Couldn't have dreamed it any better.
  10. I would argue we don't know what our pitchers are capable of until we give them a better defensive catcher and defense behind them. You can't complain on one hand that the team isn't willing to make themselves better and then complain about the price to pay in FA. They acquired the best available catcher on the market. Three years is nothing.
  11. "Upside" catchers are not readily available inside or outside the organization. He'll likely be a wash offensively but a huge boon defensively relative to Suzuki. The upside will be seen on the pitching staff.
  12. He's not blocking anyone for at least a year, probably more. He will provide a professional catcher with good defense for a young staff. Our best bet to improving our pitching was adding a good defensive catcher. We just did that. No one move was "turning us around"
  13. Um.....there is no "much higher". 8.5 million for a very good defensive catcher with decent offense is a damn good signing IMO. Unless Buster Posey is available, what the hell do you want?
  14. Excellent, excellent move. So happy to see this.
  15. I hope our new FO gives no credence whatsoever to fan patience. Build a winner, don't build to appease. One works every time, the other rarely does.
  16. May has consistently said he struggles with the prep of being a reliever and has experienced multiple injuries since the move. For the love of god let the kid try and be a starter. I can't believe we're sitting here debating this when the only reason he got moved out of the rotation was the team deferring to Mike freaking Pelfrey. Using him out of the bullpen has led to injuries, ineffectiveness, and stripped us of a desperately needed, competent starter. We already fixed the Plouffe mistake a year late, let's fix the May one too.
  17. Now if we could just open up the other corner and move on....
  18. I really don't see Garver being a factor to consider until late 2017, probably 2018. Seems like plenty of time to have a capable defensive stud back there helping out pitchers in the meantime.
  19. I wish the FA market offered more attractive homes to flip. Everything on the market is rubble. But where there are options are with guys like Gomez and the bullpen guys. Target that.
  20. I like this offseason plan, nice work Seth. I like Hernandez as an option. I think I'd still pony up for Storen or someone like that in hopes of a July trade. We have room for Storen and hernandez.
  21. I believe we're still in full blown rebuild, but having a catcher that is actually good at catching will actually help our young pitchers. And if he's really good and a young guy develops, we can always trad.e
  22. Castro or Avila seem like the best bets.
