  1. This kind of start is part of why I was worried about him hitting third. Maybe they were doing it as a confidence boost, but it's time to hit him ninth. The kid needs to focus on making hard contact and not striking out.
  2. Man, one game. We're a desperate bunch huh? I too hope Santana is great this year. And we move him for an arm that will be great for the next 6 years.
  3. The sad part is a homerun competition between Mauer and MadBum sounds far too close to call.
  4. Red Sox Cleveland Seattle New York Texas Nationals Cubs Dodgers Mets Cardinals Nationals over Red Sox
  5. It would look a lot like the end the end of Kingsman I assume.
  6. I have a lot of nice things to say about Krugman, even if I sometimes disagree with him, but holy Nostradamus on this article. His line about the Republican party being a post-policy party is perhaps the most succinct and brutally accurate phrase I can think of for them.
  7. Bunting for a hit is fine. "Hit it on the ground and run" = awful. There is a difference.
  8. I think the two "long" men are an indication of two things: 1) The FO really wants Haley on the roster, but everyone is agreed he's functionally useless 2) There are serious concerns about the ability of our starting staff to pitching significant innings early on. Neither of those warms my heart much.
  9. If they like Haley so much, send something to Boston so you don't have to keep him on the roster.
  10. I don't get the FO's infatuation with Haley. I don't get it.
  11. Exactly, this is the Dem's chance to not just have an advantage with demographics in the future, but to bring in independents and moderates by being the party of integrity. It won't last forever, but this could be big enough to have a sizable impact for the next decade and allow the Dems to permanently shift policy.
  12. I think it's really important to take this slowly and make sure the i's are dotted and t's crossed. There is actually a chance to heal some divides here if this is handled with the utmost transparency. And I truly hope we see Flynn granted immunity, because as gunnathor said....that means there is some real fire behind all this smoke.
  13. I like Haula-Ek-White, that could be a fun and effective fourth line.
  14. Interesting development.
  15. I don't disagree, but it would seem the Twins made the decision on Duffey second to Haley. Which is a problem.
  16. I think the lingering doubts about Hughes play into that thought about having a viable long man. But I agree, if the FO likes Haley's future, toss the Sox some cash or some meh prospect. Don't jack with your roster. It reminds me of JR Graham. He largely just held a spot his rule 5 year only for us to dump him unceremoniously a month into the following year.
  17. Yup, I own that. And sometimes he vindicates me and sometimes he makes it valid. I worry we'll wish we could have anything close to DeLeon for him by July.
  18. Honestly, with how erratic he is, anything from 20 to 40 is defensible. But I'm a pessimist about him, but that may just be because I fear he'll binge again and then get a totally awful contract extension. I think I need more time away from Terry Ryan to center myself.
  19. If Russe is right it seems the FO insisted on Haley. So with a sketchy rotation and an unreliable Haley, Molitor asked for a real long reliever. I don't think that's unreasonable or unwise. The problem lies with the FO wanting a useless rule 5 pitcher.
  20. I think that's pretty damn close. Anyone who thinks the Dozier of the last three months will now just magically do that for 6 months hasn't paid much attention to him the last few years. Let's just hope pumpkin Dozier shows up after the deadline, but I really fear the worst with this. I hope I'm wrong.
  21. I could take or leave Tony Sipp. My problem was not signing someone like Feliz. While it's great we can cut bait with guys like Belisle, i'd much rather have some upside to look forward to.
  22. Molitor isn't wrong about Haley. Basically, Molitor asked for 13 pitchers because one of the 12 guys basically doesn't count. And he's not wrong. If we have that little faith in Haley, expose him to waivers and balance the team better.
  23. The Adrianza thing I can accept, but I'm not convinced his spot actually went to Santana. I think Santana was the 24th man. The 25th was Duffy over Adrianza. Just my gut feeling.
