  1. They have repeatedly said he's not healthy enough, what would change if they said it again? Do you think they don't want him out there?
  2. I am a believer, but he's at least two years away.
  3. That line was definitely insulting.
  4. Since AK came up, the OF has been Gallo, Taylor, Kepler nearly every game. Buxton has DHd nearly every game. CC has been at SS nearly every game. AK at first since he came up. That's every position but 3B, which Lewis played every game he wasn't hurt, and 2B which rotates among Julien and Castro and Farmer, and C which is two guys just like every other team....so, 6 guys every game nearly.
  5. That's why there are hundreds and hundreds of minor leaguers, because you need that many to get legit players. I don't get your point at all.....
  6. I agree that you can do better or worse in trades.....but a team out of contention getting ANY value for a player is more than just letting him walk (again, assuming no (QO).
  7. Correct. A team out of contention cannot lose a trade of an impending FA (unless that FA can get a QO). They are a free agent.....so, no, you can't take into account signing them or not, because they can sign them when they are a FA.
  8. That's not even close to trading a proven hitter with years of control for a minor league hitter.
  9. To be clear, your article is well written and your arguments have merit. But I really think you are selling the context of this team and next year short.
  10. Good luck finding that on the sellers, and why is a team giving a proven guy up with years of control for an unknown with years of control?
  11. Go look at the teams likely to sell, and tell me what you'd want back for Wallner, who might be a legit staring OFer with 6 years of control.....
  12. This team needs to move on or assess its ability to draft and develop players. They have zero young OFers on the roster, not one this FO developed. That's not good....
  13. Kepler has "struggled" on offense for several years......it isn't about "shiny new toys" which is more than passive aggressive toward those that want change. Kepler isn't on the roster next year. They have NO IDEA if Larnach or Wallner are legit MLB players. Gallo isn't on the roster next year. They aren't good enough to win the WS or likely any playoff series with this offense......So, they are literally in the same position next year as this, no LF, CF, or RF on the roster that you know anything about (assuming Buxton isn't playing CF regularly). The FO needs to think beyond just this year, and to do that, they need to learn what they have in two guys that might be as good or better offensively (or might be worse) than Kepler.
  14. I wonder if he isn't in CF because of his arm? That's my hope for the reason, anyway, because he isn't beating out Lee, Lewis, Julien or Polanco for playing time at 2B this year or next.
  15. Kind of early to say. They won last year, lost this year.
  16. Saw him interviewed on local tv last night. He comes from a great academic school. Seems like a good young man. No idea how good he is.
  17. Just watched Noble Meyer and Paul Wilson being interviewed....level headed in the interview for sure. Jesuit is in the same conference as the HS I helped coach golf at this spring. It's a very scholastic place....
  18. 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.
  19. Thanks! I'd prefer him over Jansen for sure, and Clase and Cano (though for this year, Cano deserves a spot for sure).
