    Robinson should have been replaced by Arcia several weeks ago, I'm not sure that argument is all that important to Buxton given that, No one is arguing Buxton is going to figure anything out in 20 games in AAA (like I imagine none of you are suggesting he magically acclimates to MLB pitching in 20 extra games either right? So let's cut that nonsense), but it does ease him back in a little bit to get his timing, strengthen his hand, and maybe work with some coaches on protecting himself while playing everyday rather than 40% of the time for a few weeks. Then hopefully he can play with some regularity in September.
  2. TheLeviathan
    I do think, with Buxton's injury history, that team control might be more of a factor with him than for most elite prospects.
  3. TheLeviathan
    "Floor" has somehow come to mean "worst best case scenario".

    Encarnacion runs (runs!) around the bases with one arm up like a flap and people want him to eat a baseball. http://cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/54120487.jpg

    Baseball players make no such distinction and find all sorts of ludicrous reasons to throw at each other. As long as you don't touch the other team - celebrate and have fun. Most of all don't artificially neuter personalities in the name of some "integrity" nonsense.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Why care? They hit the crap out of the ball 30 times a year - enjoy the hell out of it. Bat flip and do all sorts of stuff for all I care. But yes, our pitchers should be busting them inside so that they can own the plate themselves. Just don't pitch them inside because you want the game played like a make-believe tea party.

    I loved all the post homeruns celebrating and admiring. It almost looked like some fun was happening!
  8. TheLeviathan
    Boy,you are just committed to the belief that theRockies didn't want Reyes. I think reality really disagrees with that. I have no good explanation (incompetence), but it looks pretty clear.
  9. TheLeviathan
    If Reyes for Tulo has been bandied about for almost a year, doesn't that just reinforce the idea that Colorado had some misplaced infatuation with Reyes?
  10. TheLeviathan
    And pass up on The Golden Calf? Insanity!
  11. TheLeviathan
    Not energizing but better than nothing.
  12. TheLeviathan
    So you're saying he is an upgrade on Boyer?
  13. TheLeviathan
    List...of trades.....so........depressing........

    Plus, unlike Gardy, I don't think Molitor planned to get tossed. Gardy would frequently do exactly that and I've seen nothing like that from Molitor.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Molitor's fault again I'm sure.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Bullpen. Fix the freaking bullpen.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Papelbon also insisted on staying the closer, do you think the Twins were going to demote Perkins? I can't believe the Nats are doing that to Storen.
  18. TheLeviathan
    They could seriously help this team without mortgaging the future by adding a few bullpen pieces. That said, I do think there is too much "have to make a deal" talk - that's a bad way to operate a team. Do things that make sense, but focus on trying to make your team better. However, if the market doesn't bear fruit, there are options in the minor leagues right now that Brock was right about. The roster needs to be changed, that's what has to happen. Not necessarily a trade.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Royals add Zobrist, be sad if we do nothing.
  20. TheLeviathan
    I don't see how they get anything for him of significance. It almost feels like they want to still pretend they are competing rather than reloading to build around Arenado. That's the only thing I can think of.
  21. TheLeviathan
    His health risks were a huge factor for me, but I'd give up more than what the Blue Jays did in a heart-beat for him. The risk was well worth the cost IMO. The biggest mystery to me is why the Rockies seem to have wanted Reyes at all.
  22. TheLeviathan
    Yeah Berrios is a good comp for Hoffman but May is an awful comp. Its far closer to Hu. I dont get why they wanted Reyes. It seems like we could have easily beat that package.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Am I the only one underwhelmed by the return the Rockies got?
  24. TheLeviathan
    Knobby at his peak was a truly special player on a bad team. Hunter has been a pretty darn good player on a lot of good teams. Seems about the right ranking, though I'd possibly slide Knobby higher. (I think his falling out and post-career stuff has really held down his legacy)
  25. TheLeviathan
    I struggle to call him a cornerstone because of his age. I'm not in a hurry to deal him, but I think this offseason could be an important time to see what's out there.
