  1. Why is he on this roster? Why didn't Balazovich pitch more?
  2. I think Balazovich goes the rest of the way.
  3. It seems impossible. When he actually hits a ball, it goes far.
  4. I'd like to see Severino or Lee in St Paul given Miranda isn't going to be there for some time, with schoebel moved up.
  5. Because you aren't cutting him, and Camargo might be better right now. That was me..... Backup at catcher and first, of I want clear....
  6. What are you doing with Vazquez? No one is trading for him, and you aren't DFAing him after three months. I'd deal Castro because he's never been this good and might have value. Gordon doesn't. It's not an infatuation....trust me. I wanted Trea Turner.... Miranda is up for at least 6 weeks, unless he falls on his face. Lewis is likely out that long.
  7. "likely out 6 weeks" is what the Dan Hayes tweet said, so, I guess we could get lucky with an injury for a change....
  8. I think that's a fair take, though I have zero interest in trading anything of value for a RH bat. I could be persuaded to deal Larnach for one that had 1.5 years of control, but who's doing that on the other side?
  9. Thanks! I'd prefer him over Jansen for sure, and Clase and Cano (though for this year, Cano deserves a spot for sure).
  10. They aren't winning the WS with THIS OF....and all of them are gone after this year. They 100% need to figure out if any of the guys in AA or AAA are realistic options (or at least gather more data on them). And, I'm answering so others can see where I'm coming from, not arguing with you at all.
  11. Lewis out at least six weeks.....another blow. Sigh. dude seems like a well above average player when healthy.
  12. It's one of the root causes of unhappiness according to many philosophies, and I agree with them on that.
  13. I'd sell Gray if they can get a top 50 prospect and another guy for him. I may or may not deal Maeda, most likely I do. That, of course, destroys the rotation, so I maybe don't. This team can still win a playoff series if they get two OFers that can hit....so it is possible I just keep both these guys, but I 100% do the next line. I'd DFA Kepler, trade Gallo and Taylor, and see what the young OFers can do. Gotta figure that out for next year. I'd IL Buxton until he can play the field, but I'd consider not doing that. He's actually a slightly above average hitter right now. I'd call up Williams or Camargo to play C opposite Jeffers and use Vazquez as a backup at C and first. If all three OFers go, I call up Larnach, Celestino and Wallner to play the OF. IF Gordon comes back before the deadline, I deal Castro if I can get a 45 value prospect. If not, I keep him.
  14. It's hard to argue there is a total system failure when they have a .500 record, having played mostly NOT their weak divisional foes so far. To be clear, it isn't an acceptable level of success, IMO, but it isn't a total system failure. They also have the 11th rated farm system, and are about to add three top picks to that. The system was MUCH worse when they took over.
  15. Truth! No way he should be written off after the last two years. Here's hoping he makes some good adjustments and succeeds this time.
  16. I'm waiting until I'm really happy, so I can bear the pain they go thru over and over.
  17. Mean and Unfair. I've spent the last three years praising the progress by this FO. This is the year I decided I was wrong.
  18. It is certainly possible that Wallner can't, but we know Kepler can't.
  19. Gallo and Kepler should maybe be backups, or DFA'd. Just because they are on the roster doesn't mean they should be. Taylor 100% should be a backup. Castro? Utilty backup. Buxton clearly can't play the OF right now. I mean, I don't know how anyone can argue those are starters and they have lots of depth. They have a lot of players, but that doesn't mean they have good players......And no, no one is trading for Gallo or Kepler or taylor, not more than a PTBNL or cash considerations. Contreras isn't a MLB player.
  20. Kepler still on the team. Sigh. And yes, I'm going to keep complaining. Apologies up front.
  21. Rooker has not been good since April. Every team needs a representative....
