    Mauer? (In first boys!)

    Meyer is someone else's buy-low hope and a prayer. He had no value to this team and no foreseeable value in trade. To leverage someone's hope and a prayer into taking Nolasco is an unqualified victory.
  5. TheLeviathan
    We traded the flailing hope that Meyer will be something to get a semi-competent starter and dump a dumpster-fire. I really don't get anything other than this reaction to the deal: http://memesvault.com/wp-content/uploads/Chuck-Norris-Thumbs-Up-Meme-16.jpg

    Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes are national treasures. And I don't think I'm being hyperbolic in saying that.
  7. TheLeviathan
    Because you apparently drew enough evidence to declare his future production as a subpar DH. If this isn't evidence of anything, we should hold judgment. You apparently have decided his future looks like his past despite there being a small sample that may indicate a change in that. His future production is up in the air - in a good way. Not a "lets go back to his 2015 production and call him that" sort of up in the air.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Right, that's my point. Only time will tell if his adjustment has changed his production expectations.
  9. TheLeviathan
    Can we make a filter exception for Kepler? I want "Der Wunderkid" to automatically replace Kepler in all posts on this site.
  10. TheLeviathan
    Saying there is "no evidence" of this being anything other than a hot streak is not a basic fact. What is hot streak and what is a sustainable change in his approach aren't clear yet.
  11. TheLeviathan
    The problem came when you tried to minimize his results by calling it a "hot streak" which implies fluke. His numbers might be inflated, but 60 some ABs isn't much to go off of. What is clear is that he's taking a different approach and it may well yield better results over the long term. Only time will tell.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Only 4M? Pfft, this is an easy win then. If we are paying nothing for Nolasco next year, this trade is a definite win.
  13. TheLeviathan
    Right, so we keep observing and keep giving him ABs.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Which, normally, I'd agree with. But since this team was clearly, actively looking for trades....perhaps there wasn't much interest?
  15. TheLeviathan
    This speculation makes me even more curious. Hutchinson, Reid-Foley, and Harris is a deal I'd have taken.
  16. TheLeviathan
    I really want to know what was on the table between the Jays and Twins for Ervin.
  17. TheLeviathan
    In 5 years we can judge the outcome, I would suggest Seth's 2-2 line was more about the idea of the trade. We took a roster invite guy and turned him into a former 37th pick by selling high. I don't care so much about the long term results at this point, I strongly agree with that philosophy of asset management/acquisition.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I heartily endorse this approach. Whether Light becomes a factor or not, this is a good trade.
  19. TheLeviathan
    No, you don't have to look at the whole picture. He's not approaching at-bats like he did a year ago. Do I think he's a 1.000+ OPS player? Probably not, but I'd like to watch this new approach the rest of the season. Frankly, we don't have the data yet to suggest anything, trend or fad. A lot of young players flounder before finding themselves, I don't hold their early struggles against them if they adjust and thrive. We just need to see if Vargas can maintain this. I hope so, the kid is fun to see in the lineup.
  20. TheLeviathan
    That Will Smith trade was an absolute heist for Milwaukee. Good lord.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Last two episodes should have been condensed to one.
  22. TheLeviathan
    The problem is the sample size is still small and the Ks are still high, but 12 XBH in 58 at-bats, better patience at the plate, and a different approach are all evidence of something different. We just need more ABs and time to see it through.
  23. TheLeviathan
    In addition to what Chief said, it's also just plain stupid. I think it's indicative, again, of how he will handle diplomacy. To not even care enough to just let it go and be smart about it, he dives head first into stupid and offensive rhetoric.
  24. TheLeviathan
    That is a lot for Miller, but I bet his contract came into play for that. He's pretty damn affordable given his production.
  25. TheLeviathan
    I'd certainly make a call.
