    ftfy.

    This is just incredibly stupid and irresponsible. Dangerous, even. Even people that voted for Trump should be yelling at the top of their lungs over this.
  3. USAFChief
    Any particular one?
  4. USAFChief
    Sure, but balance that against wasting a year of service time on someone not ready, to the tune of a 8.02 ERA. It's a tradeoff for sure. One that is difficult to handicap based off nothing but viewing AAA stats.

    "Guessing what was in JDGoin's mom's basement." OOOOHHHHHHHHH, I KNOW this one... J. D. Goin!

    Well you haven't actually "lost" a year or two of MLB time. You've pushed the start date farther into the future, but you get the same number of years.

    Speaking only for myself, while I hope Berrios is in the opening day starting rotation, I don't really care all that much what he did in Rochester. We have 14 starts and 58 innings of big league ball of evidence. He might not have been ready.
  8. USAFChief
    But you've repeatedly affirmed you wouldn't trade Dozier for De Leon straight up.

    May wasnt moved to the pen because he was "blocked." He was moved to the pen midseason 2015 because the Twins found themselves in contention and in dire need of bullpen help. If anything, rather than blocked by signing veterans, he was forced to the pen by the failure to sign pen help.

    Yeah, there was also a missed Maryland free throw a bit earlier that went off two Gophers and ended up in a three pointer for the Terps that was huge. They aren't a poised team late in games, and struggle to sore too often. Still, there's some pieces to work with and I think brighter days are ahead.

    This would seem to indicate someone else thinks corner OF is much less important than 3b. Why else would it speculate about Sano ending up there, where he could doless damage?
  12. USAFChief
    Compared to infield, it's not.
  13. USAFChief
    He had the opportunity to prepare himself last offseason as well, though.
  14. USAFChief
    My .02: I'm more concerned by what I perceived as a lack of dedication and/or maturity than anything that may or may not have resulted fom the move to RF, which shouldn't have been a big deal. I'm hopeful he's learned this is a tough profession, particularly at the highest level, and to reach his goals he needs to work at it. If so, I think he's talented enough to be a star.
  15. USAFChief
    The offseason hasn't reached entirety.
  16. USAFChief
    I think the folks at "media" such as Breitbart have done a fantastic job of convincing many people that the "media" is all the same. It galls me to think there are people who think there is no difference between the New York Times and The National Enquirer. I think you can probably trace the beginnings of this to Fox News. It's a sad state of affairs, and I don't know the answer. That Steve Bannon has a place in the Executive Branch--and many people support him-- is a pretty clear signal to me we need significant change.
  17. USAFChief
    I'm guessing because the current front office doesn't think the starting pitching can be fixed by adding 1 iffy prospect, either. Particularly at the cost of your best everyday player.
  18. USAFChief
    What evidence is there that the Allied invasion of Europe was purposely delayed?
  19. USAFChief
    A pejorative phrase like "deliberately trotted out" is belittling and does little to further a discussion. Perhaps there is a narrative here, but not from me.
  20. USAFChief
    It's a report, and a piece of evidence, but it "confirms" nothing. Also, for the record, I don't remember many 1:1 positions, but plenty of 1:1 + nothing of significant value. It's like the proverbial "well then throw Duensing in the deal" jokes we enjoyed for years. Adding a body to a trade doesn't necessarily add value.
  21. USAFChief
    Thank you. What in the actual **** was the US supposed to do about Russia? While simultaneously fighting the nazis and Japan?
  22. USAFChief
    Seven, maybe eight. There's room. Virtually every team is looking for bullpen help by May or June, every year.
  23. USAFChief
    There really isn't a downside to making your team stronger. Contender, wanna-be, or also ran. You play em, or trade em. Either way, what's the problem? "Blocking" minor league pen arms? Doesn't happen. At least not for long enough to matter.
  24. USAFChief
    I'm not sure anymore either, so I will bow out as well.
  25. USAFChief
    Right, but I was responding to a post saying the Dodgers wouldn't necessarily call up De Leon due to not squeezing him on the roster. He's already on the 40 man, so for a call up, there are no roster concerns.
