    You'd have 5M more to get bats and pitchers if you didn't spend it minimally upgrading your 1B position. 5M goes a long way with an infielder or reliever.

    What is Cron? A replaceable corner player who has had one year that was pretty good. Austin was roughly what Cron was last year at 1/5 of the price. Take that 5M and add it to the price you are offering for an infielder or reliever. Having both Cron and Austin on this 40 man roster is not smart. Plain and simple. We're passing on adding better options elsewhere for a mild upgrade at best. It's the kind of nickel and dime, ill-thought roster construction of the past. I don't like it.

    A time when being a Republican wasn't automatically a sign you're an evil person.

    I want to make this clear - I in no way condone what Hunt did. I wish he would've been charged. That said...I can all but guarantee there are a dozen guys on the Vikings right now who have done far worse and we don't know it. The element of video cannot be understated. I'm not sure this incident rises to the level of banishment for Hunt. It's not Ray Rice. Hell, it's not even Joe Mixon.

    All of this and it shocks me that many posters here seem to think we can somehow roll with Cron and Austin on the same roster. The more time goes by, the more I hate this claim.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Chiefs released Hunt tonight.
  7. TheLeviathan
    So....yeah....he's on the roster. Hopefully we can be done with that avenue of the discussion.

    If this team marches into the year with Austin and Cron on the roster, you can just about raise the white flag on the season.

    It's our modern mythos. And it's popcorn stuff, I watch all kinds of different things so I enjoy the super hero stuff as a nice slice of the pie. I'm sad to see the Netflix brand go, but it was waning in quality. DD season 3 was excellent and I'm looking forward to Punisher's second season, but everything since about midway through Luke Cage's first season has been mediocre to bad. All the Iron Fist, the Defenders, 1.5 of the Cage seasons, the back half of DD season 2, JJ season 2, etc. It's mostly been uninspiring. Still, end of a nice little era of TV.

    Avoid this like the plague.

    Unique, cool look. And love no public funding. Done with that.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Well, that long preceded this!
  13. TheLeviathan
    I'd put in a call, but I'd rather buy in on Sonny Gray.

    I don't know how a baseball team in 2018 keeps both Cron and Austin on the roster. And if they do....it sure as hell looks a lot like the Park situation where we had Grossman, Arcia, Mauer, and Park on the roster. I'd hope we all want those days to be over. Having a DH is fine. Having 2 or 3 of them.....not fine.
  15. TheLeviathan
    And the range of skill-set needed varies much more widely at the various IF positions than the OF ones. I like Nick's fourth point, if taken as "Let Austidillo play" I agree, let him play and see if you might have something pretty nifty.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Nope.
  17. TheLeviathan
    This seems related.
  18. TheLeviathan
    One look at Lemahieu's home/road splits should end anyone's interest.
  19. TheLeviathan
    For me the comparison is more along the lines of roster construction. Adding Park seriously hindered that rosters flexibility. If they keep Cron and Austin I see the same problem. If they only keep Austin...why do this at all? If they keep Cron we spent 5M for a marginal (if that) upgrade and still need a DH.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Low upside, nickel and dime moves. Those lose in the short and long term.
  21. TheLeviathan
    The Rondell White justification: "A couple million for him isn't bad!" I'm done with that.
  22. TheLeviathan
    "Limited upside" says it all.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I wasn't referring to talent, only about ill-advised roster construction.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Yup, this. It isn't anger, it's bewilderment.
  25. TheLeviathan
    This is reminiscent of Park and not in a good way.
