  1. last week, in the very short game threads?
  2. How sure? Have you been there lately edit: Guess I should have looked at the thread before replying....I'm getting slow in my old age.
  3. If there is no constraint, they don't have to choose how to allocate resources..... Then, in your next reply, you say there is a constraint of money and resources. So, I'll ask again, do you think they are out of money at this point? Because if not, then it doesn't matter that they signed Cruz. If so, then it's going to be hard to sustain competitiveness over a long time frame.
  4. Except we read all the time that these guys can't lift their arms in their 50s, and that the concussions (like Mauer) have lifelong consequences. And, you can feel bad for more than 1 type of person getting hurt. That seems pretty obvious. Whatever, ya'll don't feel bad for him getting hurt, your choice.
  5. that's brutal. And cold, about a human getting hurt.
  6. I hate the humans get hurt in jobs that are about entertaining us.....hate it.
  7. are you suggesting they are out of money and couldn't sign anyone else? I hope not. If so, this is going to be very hard success to sustain, as players get raises......just look at what CLE did this offseason.... Or are you suggesting they don't have minor league players to trade, to get more pitching (or that they want to trade it for hitters)? What is the resource constraint here?

  9. Adams is a 30 something year old with MLB experience, he better be ready to pitch here.
  10. Wow. Every RP signed in the winter last year now gone? I gotta admit serious surprise at that.
  11. I never blamed them..... I'm asking where the help is, and you are responding that, what, I shouldn't expect it because all the gurus are wrong? I'm not sure your point at all....
  12. Bert 2:31 Jorge Polanco sure can hit a baseball. Is he going to add to the list of SS this year that can realistically finish with a 120 wRC+ Craig Edwards 2:32 He's basically already there. If he hits his projection of 111 the rest of the way, he's going to end up over 125.
  13. Mike G 1:13 Should we expect Jordan Balazovic to recieve helium during the midseason reranks? Numbers aside, his stuff looks very impressive. Keith Law 1:14 He barely missed my top 100 this winter, so I think I had him in the right range then. He'll move up due to so many graduations ahead of him. He could move up more now that he's pitching at a higher level. Ron 1:55 HI Keith- Buxton is healthy this year. Just sayin'! He looks so much more relaxed this year, even only if it is a SSS. His arm is as good as his speed and if he just hits .250-270, he is a star. There is some serious pop in that bat when he squares one. Keith Law 1:55 I thought he was a star in 2017, then he was hurt most of last year, and now he's healthy and what do you know, he's a star again. AJ 2:11 Balazovic! Great call on your part. Do you see him as an above average starter and is it crazy to think we could see him before the end of 2020? Keith Law 2:11 Above average starter but not in the majors before 2021.
  14. Cartulo 12:16 Good morning Jay! (Still morning here in Peru). It's 05/16, how sold are you that the playoff spots in the AL are already set? To me it seems like the only ? is who's gonna win the East. Cleveland is toast. AvatarJay Jaffe 12:19 I think that we're basically talking about six teams for five spots, with the Astros a sure bet, and the AL East more likely to produce both Wild Card teams, with the Central winner the division's only representative. And if I had to guess, it's Cleveland on the outside looking in due to their rotation injuries, ridiculously lax approach to the past winter, and the weird struggles of Jose Ramirez. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-5-16-19/
  15. Or starters, or what......because the SP and RP are mostly from outside the org. The 1B and DH and 2B? Outside the org. The utility guy? outside the org. For a team that has been pretty bad for years, and is building a "sustainably competitive organization", not much help is coming from the org.....This is about the organization, and looking at what it's done.
  16. Apparently the minors just aren't that flush. They've supplied little help this year, and few people auditioned last year that are still helping this year. I'm confused.
  17. People aren't taught to throw that way, that's why there are so few.
  18. Given who won the popular vote.... It totally caused this. And it is about states mattering, as if those are somehow important in a national election.
  19. Electoral College is wrong... It is state's rights over one vote per person..... As long as it exists, we'll have these problems.
  20. Where are the reinforcements? This is supposed to be a top minor league system....
  21. Rip Roe. And people still won't vote.
  22. HBO literally said they could have ten years if they wanted. The show runners wanted to be done. It's on them.
  23. Higher is better right?
  24. Just got a pedicure. I tried for a blue like the twins, but not sure I nailed it. I'd post a picture, but no idea how....
