  1. Once again, Meyer's pitch count makes his day look worse than it probably would have been.....
  2. Torii Hunter is terrible right now. I don't get why people keep typing his name.
  3. I think they want Polanco to be the SS. Maybe Santana is Ben Zobrist?
  4. Sure, if Hicks and Buxton are up here, that would be great..... I think it could be Buxton-Santana-Hicks, frankly......with Arcia your 4th OF/DH. Or, make Hicks the 4th OF who gives all three a day off..... Not that I am convinced on Santana, but until he fails, he looks like a success.
  5. I've been saying this for the last 2 years. Especially if a team can't find good SPs......like the last few years. Won't ever happen, thought.
  6. Great writeup, thanks. Given that service time thing, it would be odd / bad for them to call him up before Sunday, wouldn't it?
  7. No reason for Deduno to be on the 40 man next year: Hughes, Gibson, Nolasco, Pelfrey, May, Meyer, Milone, Darnell, Johnson, Gilmartin, Berrios, Pino.... even if you just cut Pelfrey, that is 11 pitchers.....and I am sure there are other AAA/AA guys that could be on that list.
  8. Move KC to the pen....much easier solution, imo. KC to bullpen, Pino and Darnell down, the three M's in the starting rotation. That's what I would do. When Nolasco is healthy, either shut down Meyer, or move him to the pen.
  9. Who are these mythical better OF next year? Because they have zero in AA or AAA right now you could count on. Nyerere May have a point, but it just seems low.
  10. I too cannot believe how little Tampa got.
  11. I'd cut KC, or move him to the pen. It isn't my job to figure out where to send them......I have no idea. KC has no place on a rebuilding team, with May and Meyer sitting in AAA.
  12. An A for the Fuld trade, really amazing to me, frankly. Not a fan of the Suzuki signing, but if they won't play Pinto, it is a B I guess. Still having to watch KC instead of May and Meyer, F. Willingham still here? D I weight the Fuld trade the strongest, so I guess it is a B from me, though that seems like a hollow B, frankly. They added a league median or slight worse pitcher (outside Oak), and signed a catcher over 30 that was AWFUL the two years before this. I don't see much that really FIXES things, but the Milone trade is just mind bogglingly good....
  13. Well, we can look at the last four years, apply aging and recovery from yet another injury, and reach some educated conclusions.....
  14. Not a fan. I'm trying to be more positive, and like more posts, and it is limited. I understand the database reasons......but not a fan.
  15. If that is it, he gets an A for the trade he made, and a series of Cs or Ds for not moving KC, Willingham, and Suzuki. YMMV, of course.
  16. Not a huge Suzuki guy......but it won't kill me if they extend him.
  17. There are no compensatory picks for guys traded mid-season, so the A's won't get a pick if/when he leaves. edit: scooped.....
  18. Hope you are right Dave. Would love to have the three Ms in the rotation with Hughes and Gibson. That would feel so future looking, and be effective eventually. Feeling more positive now......
  19. Great trade by TR. I'll give him an A on this one. I'm not sure Milone is even median, but he's a legit SP in exchange for a 4th OF. the ONLY negative is that this probably delays one of May / Meyer, doesn't it? Will TR turn around and deal from their glut of MLB/AAAA/AAA pitchers? Or will the Twins have legit MLB SP sitting in NY this year and next?
  20. I love teams that go for it when they have a REAL chance. Love it. Even if it does not end up working, he's trying to win it all.
  21. Suzuki is blocking Pinto. Or, Willingham is blocking Pinto. Together, they are blocking Pinto. If this team is ever going to actually rebuild from within, they need to get the young guys up here, not sitting in NY or CT.
