  1. But he was supposedly terrible the other years, given they didn't win 48% of their games? I'm suggesting that it isn't as simple as him being great at his job 2 years, and bad the others. They were literally the worst team in baseball one year, this board would have begged for him to be fired that year. Begged.
  2. What SP was traded in June or May the last five years? This isn't a realistic hope.
  3. Not at all! I'm merely pointing out that our memories are funny. That it might not be as simple as Kelly was great because he won two WS. YMMV,, of course. Some fans want feast and famine (McPhail), other want consistently competitive. I just want entertaining. The journey is LONG, and I'm more into the season being worth paying attention to than the end of the year (last year and this are NOT entertaining). I'm not defending anyone, btw. I've called for them to be let go.....
  4. Same with Cleveland....they trade for guys all the time. That's "most"? It really amazes me people somehow think trading for Ryan is wrong, bad, proof they don't know what they are doing.....
  5. skubal and his backup, and also their 3rd or 4th best hitter/fielder (if that is what Lewis is). Yes, they would. Now, the Twins have FALLEN off a cliff, and bounced off rocks on the way down, so I'm not sure Detroit would be this bad, but yes.
  6. Got to be weighing on the players at this point.....
  7. I just don't know if/when we get a sale. If they are out of it (and they will be) at the break, I'd rather they deal expiring deals than hold them. At least there is a chance that way.....but yes, I want a complete regime change at this point.
  8. I'd guess if they ate 10 million a year, that's A LOT less than what they are paying him? If you made me wager, I'd bet CC is here until they don't have to pay him anymore. I really thought he'd be better than this .... I think there are a lot of teams that would like Larnach or Castro. MAYBE Paddock and Duran. I'd just get anything for France and put Julien or Larnach or someone at first that MIGHT have a future. I'm all in on playing the younger guys and seeing what you have.
  9. If you gave up on every guy that ever struggled, Hunter would not have played past year 2.....I guess you could give up on every player that ever struggled, but it would be hard to have a team.
  10. I'm not saying that, others are! I thought I made that clear, but maybe not. I'd play him every day. And find out what kind of player he really is. His D has been worse that year, and that's an issue for sure (along with the hitting, but it's still average).
  11. Because they picked up a guy to fill the AAA rotation? The minors are filled with these kinds of guys.
  12. Because for his career he's been nearly forty percent better than the average hitter. If that's not something to be high on.....
  13. How many legit MLB starters do you think teams have between MLB and AAA? I mean, many don't have three.....
  14. Twenty at bats with runners in scoring position, and people are mad he doesn't have more RBI......
  15. They've handled him such that he's super successful. They don't know how to manage players. People hold both those thoughts at the same time....
