    This team is not better than they were when they started kicking out 90 plus loss seasons. Not even slightly better. All we have is more prospects in the system. That's not because we develope them better. That's because we are better at sucking. Yea, I am pissed.

    This was all pretty predictable. Hope we lose enough to change philosophies. I can't see us winning much.

    Pelf no more please.

    I'm one who was excited about signing Santana and when this news came out I found myself feeling very mad. I figured he would stabilize the top end of the rotation and that would have a trickle down effect on all areas of the team. But, then I got to thinking more about it and concluded that part of my anger stemmed from already having been kind of frustrated over my perception that the gm did not do much to address some of the teams glaring holes in the offseason. So, when this announcement came out, I think I was already feeling negative and this sort of gave me something to vent at. I'm wondering if any of you kinda see the same thing in how you may be feeling. Now I ask myself, what things can I get excited about regarding this team? What areas can I look to for hope? Well, Our young and developing core of players that need to evolve in order for us to make our next serious run at a World Series is still in tact. Also, I feel good about the new coaching staff and I am thinking that they can get more out of the players through teaching and through a different attitude and culture. Losing a veteran pitcher right out of the gate really stinks. But, I think I can get over it and set my frustrations aside so that I can relax and watch or listen to the games this spring and summer like I always do. I love baseball and I really can't force myself to cheer for a team other than the one I grew up with. My 2 cents..........

    I wonder if this is the kind of drug that is an ingredient in any legal supplements, prescription medications or herbal medicines that could mistakenly be taken? Or, if it is something that there is no way it could be taken by mistake. Anybody know?

    This suuuuuuuuucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The thing that sucks he got hurt and had to change positions. How valuable would he be this year if he were still a catcher? Then all this stuff with pitch framing and handeling pitchers we been seeing posted would not even be an issue.

    I like this post youngpadawan.

    I'm giving this post a like for the simple reason that the word "farcical" was used in a sentence. I don't know what it even means yet I feel impressed.

    I imagine a meeting where ownership sits down with the gm and says, so we have been horrible for several years. Let's review what you did to improve the team this offseason. Defense, offense, starting pitchers, bullpen, coaching, etc.......... Now let's look at this position by position, catcher, center field etc.......... You would think ownership would be a little unimpressed.

    I would love to pose this question to joe Mauer.

    Jay is at a level of writing that borders on gifted and I'm afraid my poor reading skills may have had me misrepresenting. Not my intent.
  14. Dr. Evil
    Regarding my above post, I could have misinterpreted what was being said in my response. Sorry if I did. No disrespect.

    I just think.........folks are leaning towards this front office as inept. Poor results followed by the same old same is becoming valid through repeatability.
  16. Dr. Evil
    Very tough to keep the arm motion and the release point close to that of a fast ball in order to fool the batter. Those that can conceal it tend to be filthy.

    Its preseason for the kids too so the probably need to be afforded just as much if not more chance and benefit of the doubt than the vets due as far as being allowed excusable performances as they tune up for the season. Don't excuse the vets or say they were just workin on something and then send a high end prospect down for not being perfect.
  18. Dr. Evil
    Yes he sure has, occasionally. But correct me if I'm wrong, our bullpen has been ranked in the bottom 5 of all of MLB the past 3 years. Yet we still look to reclamation projects as a primary source of talent.
  19. Dr. Evil
    Thats your primary lefty setup guy. Cmon, it's exciting right?

    Another retread. Here we go again with Ryan building a pen on the cheap.
  21. Dr. Evil
    Seems like when we pick up a Mlb experienced guy in trade or rule 5 or a free agent he is afforded a world of chances. Yet, when it comes to moving through our system each player must show a perfect storm of results at every level and even then they only come up out of necessity. Now, dont tare me up with examples to the contrary. My point is, these acquisitions are for filler type caliber players. They seem to be treated more like guys the prospects gotta beat out to get to the show. I don't thinks that's right. Ryan is trying to turn too much coal in to diamonds. It's a fundamental difference of theory that I have with him. Of course, I respectfully offer this opinion.
  22. Dr. Evil
    I project May, Meyer, for example, to have more upside and short term impact than Milone and Pelf. I see little advantage to not clicking ahead now.
  23. Dr. Evil
    Point well taken :0) But, I'm speaking in terms of Bartlett, Kubel, and crew last year and Pelf, Milone types this year. my point being, I prefer to call a rebuild a rebuild by going young.
  24. Dr. Evil
    Ii would be a lot more excited to watch games if it was a true youth movement. Not looking forward to watching retreads. I think Ryan does a poor job of projecting young guys and falls back unduely on his security blanket of vets. It's getting really old.
  25. Dr. Evil
    I'm not a Ryan fan either.
