    options are by years, not the number of times up/down in any given year. They've already used an option on Arcia this year.

    Yeah, McCann is certainly killing the Yankees. Good players cost money, and they don't often drop off a cliff just because they turn 30 years old. Or, just roll with Suzuki and something lesser I guess.

    2nd consecutive inning, runner at 2nd, nobody out, no score. poop x 2.

    fld pct 1.000!
  5. USAFChief
    Yeah, but I think it was the first one that got him pretty good. Rub some dirt on it.

    He fouled a ball off his ankle in that AB and was in visible pain.

    I've been told the playoffs are a crapshoot. Get there. To start with, catcher is a need, and will almost surely be a need in the future. Why wait? They need better arms in the bullpen. Why wait? I actually like Santana's future, but I wouldn't object to a surer thing at SS, and going forward they need better play from SS. That might be worth a gamble. A starter like Hamels wouldn't be just for 2015. Lucroy would help now and the near term future, possibly more with an extension. Fortune favors the bold. Sitting around waiting for the future doesn't appeal to me, and I don't think it's the smart way to play the MLB game. YMMV, or course.

    poop.

    How about Shane Robinson?

    I have the Orioles feed on. The big man, so far, looks...big.

    The goal is to get to the postseason. Putting off helping a team that is in contention for the postseason, on the hope (and that's all it is) that you MIGHT be a postseason contender at some point in the future, makes no sense to me. In real life, saving for the future often makes sense. In pro sports, it's folly.

    Career minor league numbers is cherry picking, but using a half season at AA isn't? FTR, Hicks had a .844 OPS at AA, at the same age as Kepler is now. With less minor league time to get there. I agree Hicks still has a lot of room to improve, and a lot to prove. But he's as talented as Kepler, IMO, probably more so, which is my point, and I'd be careful in writing him off, and/or making assumptions about Kepler successfully manning an OF spot by 2016.

    There's no evidence he'll hit worse than Herrmann either. Their minor league numbers are similar, with the edge actually to Fryer. As for Butera, he's on his fourth team in 2.5 seasons, but has less than 275 PAS in that time. He's been DFA'd twice in the past two years. .500 career OPS. I'd be willing to bet hes not with KC by this time next year. Nobody really wants him either, but catching is in short supply.
  14. USAFChief
    Sure you have...the ol' "strike 'em out, throw 'em out double single play."
  15. USAFChief
    Sounds like he's courting you.
  16. USAFChief
    Before anyone gets too excited about Kepler, and how he compares to Hicks: Kepler's minor league slash line: .278/.354/.436 .790 Hicks: .275/.379/.426 .805

    If it was my choice, Rogers would've been converted at least 6 weeks ago.
  20. USAFChief
    Winnah!
  21. USAFChief
    concur.
  22. USAFChief
    Prolly from me on a game thread.
  23. USAFChief
    I feel conflicted.
  24. USAFChief
    "Dunnsee...get 'em to hit a sharp ground ball right at the SS." "Gotcha skip." "First pitch, K?"
  25. USAFChief
    Can we make it 25-30 years?
