    I gotta say, some people are making solid arguments against the home/road split "problem". But the biggest issue is still the fact that he's only made it to 500 at-bats three times in his entire career. Only 300 or so (and sometimes less) the last three years. That's the scariest part.
  2. TheLeviathan
    I know! How could he forget Duensing?
  3. TheLeviathan
    I love the idea, but I'd be lying if Tulo's injury history and splits away from Coors didn't give me pause at the price tag to trade him.
  4. TheLeviathan
    Well that was discouraging.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Given the money spent by Seattle I don't see them selling off young pieces. I think they'll keep firing bullets in FA to get the team contending.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Boy have things changed quickly at this position. (For good and then for bad again)
  7. TheLeviathan
    I don't know, they are good questions to ponder. But I think our contending wagon is partially hitched to Buxton so I think it's going to be really tough to deal him. I also think he starts 2016 in CF, which means we should look to deal Hicks or Arcia for other needs soon.
  8. TheLeviathan
    I think you take that chance with Buxton. Look - the reality is, we're going to have to take a serious risk in order to fix the position. Unless anyone is crazy enough to think we roll out the Brinks trucks to Wieters' house this offseason? Anything other than that is going to require some risk. I think Hicks for Norris is one of the least risky paths we could take. (It allows us to keep Plouffe or use him for another purpose for instance) All it requires is a leap of faith in Buxton.
  9. TheLeviathan
    Great point and look no further than those hilarious Houston offers leaked a few years ago to see it in action.
  10. TheLeviathan
    Plouffe for sure is an offseason move. I'd consider Hicks for Norris now.
  11. TheLeviathan
    I still think Hicks for Norris is the beginning framework of a deal. I also think Plouffe should be shopped. I get the hesitation, but with his age and approaching FA decision, I think the possibility of swapping him for a SS or C is prudent.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Had the team opted to trade him last year, there was quite a bit of catcher movement this offseason we could have indulged in.
  13. TheLeviathan
    With Sano in the middle the lineup would balance out tremendously with a leadoff guy that could force Dozier into the middle of the order. But that's also likely where we want Buxton.
  14. TheLeviathan
    You cite opening day starting nods? Quick.....tell them about Kevin Correia! They're 25th in the league in starter's ERA. I don't think they'd be opposed to adding arms to help them, now whether Pelfrey is that or not is a different question. However, Navarro is hardly asking for a huge haul.
  15. TheLeviathan
    With the kind of contact guys have been getting off of Fien lately, we may have even more problems ahead.
  16. TheLeviathan
    The Jays are pretty desperate for starting pitching help. I'm not saying they do it, but I think it's a pretty reasonable suggestion.
  17. TheLeviathan
    His path took him too far to LF and offtrack of the flight path. He had to go over the shoulder because he didn't have time to correct his route. Great concentration to do that, but it wouldn't have looked so tough if his path had been correct in the first place.
  18. TheLeviathan
    Hicks.
  19. TheLeviathan
    It was lucky, bad route, but it was excellent concentration after that mistake.
  20. TheLeviathan
    He made that look a lot more difficult than it was, but glad he caught it.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Pelfrey sure justified my frustration tonight.
  22. TheLeviathan
    Yeah, I'm referencing Pelfrey. I think Milone has earned his spot.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I really, really don't like that decision. This just stinks of veteran coddling.
  24. TheLeviathan
    We have/had like four threads about Sano. Maybe, just maybe, that explains it. Or we could just be excited about Sano being up.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Generally I agree, but Vargas looked pretty lost. The mistake was sending him down the first time, this time seems justified. But this team is caught in a weird in-between of rebuilding and contending and that is forcing them to act in a weird in-between way.
