    Makes me appreciate Brad Radke. How great was it to have a good reliable starter around for a long time. I’m hoping Joe Ryan can do something similar.
  2. Linus
    This bullpen is not good enough. By the all star break we will be wondering why they didn’t do more to shore up the bullpen.
  3. Linus
    Sabato was the worst pick. Essentially a one tool player and he is taken in the first round. Even if he succeeded he would be easily replaceable. There are CJ Cron types all over the place. Cavaco is a bust but at least he had some tools that you could project.

    Alcala has struggled to get lefties out except for about a month. Way to many questions here to count on him. Henriquez stunk at St Paul last year. Not saying he can’t make it but logic would dictate that he needs more time and to assume success is foolish.

    One of the best days of the year! John: you need to post beer reviews from the local collection.

    I don’t get why Nick has to “earn” his starts but Gallo and Kepler don’t. Play the best players.
  7. Linus
    Yea I think if anybody is going to write about a pitcher being an ace the first thing is to define what it means.
  8. Linus
    I never knew Urshela was Brooks Robinson and Mike Schmidt all rolled into one.
  9. Linus
    Shouldn’t we be looking for the next Duran?
  10. Linus
    Any bullpen including Pagan and Megill needs improvement.
  11. Linus
    Is rather have Fulmer instead of Pagan or Megill.
  12. Linus
    It would be easier to make a list of people that don’t need to step up. Duran, Arreaz, and ummmm….hold on, let me think…….
  13. Linus
    Gee I hadn’t noticed.
  14. Linus
    Yep. Could have been the worst case scenario.
  15. Linus
    He would be roughly as good as Gray Maeda Mahle and Ryan.
  16. Linus
    He would be one of our 3 best pitchers. He’s so far from an ace he can’t even see it from there.
  17. Linus
    Well he is not an ace or even close.
  18. Linus
    Why rebuild now? They are close to what I would consider the best way to construct a lineup. Some proven veterans with a farm system that produces 1-2 new starters every year. Whenever you add a Bunche of rookies all at once you likely age going to lose for a while. Pitching is a different story and I don’t really know what to say. They won’t invest free agent dollars or high draft picks for it and are poor at drafting and developing them. Anyway they have three decent starters on their last year. Let’s see what we can do.
  19. Linus
    I dont what their plans are. No I don’t want Bundy pitching more innings which I never said. I want more innings pitched by good pitchers and I guess I don’t care anymore if it comes from a really good pen.
  20. Linus
    This is what I have come to believe as well. If they are sticking with the no to the third time through the order strategy then giving a front line starter $100 million probably doesn’t make sense. Build an excellent bullpen and win that way. We’ve got a good start: if we add 2 relievers at the Fulmer or better level we might have something. And it certainly is something they can afford to do.

    I’m not an expert but do have some experience in contractual matters. I’m guessing the deal isn’t complete without the physicals. Hence Correas ability to immediately sign with the Mets.
  22. Linus
    Yea it does. If San Fran signed him assuming the contract would be insured and suddenly it’s not - that’s a whole different equation.
  23. Linus
    The idea that SF suddenly got cold feet is silly. They had plenty of time to thoroughly consider the signing. The most plausible explanation is they wanted to insure the contract and the insurance company had an issue with the medicals.
  24. Linus
    It’s not about taxes! He can make an absolute killing in endorsements in nyc. Tax rates are non factor in the overall equation.
  25. Linus
    Plus the endorsement opportunities dwarf any difference in taxes. I can’t even imagine how much money he is going to make in nyc outside of his contract.
