    Trivino. Get it done. Murphy would be great, but costly. Wouldn't mind a Trivino/Murphy package deal. Montas...meh. Road splits are worrisome, health issues, steep cost....look elsewhere.

    I agree. Bard isn't what I'd be looking to add.

    No Sano option??!?
  4. USAFChief
    Semi-regular playing time at whose expense? Sano's ABs have to come at 1B or DH. Who sits? Miranda? Buxton's DH ABs? Arraez?

    It's an interesting theory. But FTR, I don't think they're adding "5-7 MPH. " More like 1-3.

    I guess all those WS titles are the proof in the pudding. Not to mention Oakland's enviable roster today.

    Quick review of Comerica: Really nice ballpark. Great sight lines, fairly close to the action. Minimal food options* in the ballpark proper, just endless repeats of the same few options, all blocking views from the concourses. Tough getting there, and leaving, but great built up area around the park for before/after. *Two really neat areas inside the park: a huge outdoor picnic area with a kid's ferris wheel behind HP with an actual working open pit BBQ that upgrades the food options by a million percent. There's also a kind of food court area with multiple good options and a merry go round. Best feature: the absute best seating I've ever seen, these are the last 10 rows or so of the lower bowl from 1st to 3rd. Spacious, comfy, table for every 2 seats, waiter service. Dunno what they cost, but from what I hear you can sneak into 1 by the 3rd inning or so.

    Leading off, Luis Arraez

    Well not really. We're comparing proven MLB history with anticipated MLB success, no?

    I don't agree such a conclusion is "very reasonable." I'd say it's complete speculation, which flies in the face of this very reasonable conclusion: most prospects don't end up being worth what you could have gotten for them. Got a Juan Soto? Ken Griffey Jr? Ronald Acuna Jr? A teenager tearing it up and quite obviously a couple levels above are competition? Don't trade that guy. Anything else? Listen to offers, and take good MLB talent every time. There'll be more prospects in your system in a month or a year. You'll have a draft soon where you'll be "thrilled" by your good fortune. Spending decades waiting for your minor leagues to win you a WS is ... how you spend decades without winning a WS.

    I'm impressed you know today which players will be needed to become legitimate contenders. Predicting next week is difficult in baseball, but here you are predicting 2024 and beyond! Amazing.
  12. USAFChief
    That's not the point. Do you hate yourself, as well? Or Is it your contention he should shut down for the year? That he should have quit playing in April? If not, the "pain" is irrelevant. It's beside the point. It exists. Either way. The point is the timing of the injection. He must have done it in order to be on the field more, correct? Then why delay it, which cost him at least 2 games? Not to mention, If he's "playing in pain every day," why would he go to an exhibition game? For the record, players opt out of the ASG all the time. I understand being proud of a selection to the game. Anybody would be. But intentionally forgoing actual games? That's just wrong.

    The potential tying run was on deck, with Megill on the mound. I guess opinions on this can differ, but it felt unnecessarily close to me.
  14. USAFChief
    Sunday 1:10 pm CST: Sonny Gray (4-3, 3.71ERA) vs RHP Rony Garcia (3-2, 4.28ERA) I believe start time Sunday is 1:40 EDT, 12:40 CDT.
  15. USAFChief
    On the plus side, I've...upgraded my seat
  16. USAFChief
    Wasn't expecting to see Duran tonight.
  17. USAFChief
    Leading off...Luis Arraez.
  18. USAFChief
    Sorry, but if this injection could have been done Sunday, or Monday, and was delayed intentionally to play in the ******* ASG...I would be pretty damn disappointed to learn that. In Buxton and in management.
  19. USAFChief
    Only reason I happen to know this is I was at Guaranteed Rate Field last night. Comerica tonight.
  20. USAFChief
    One thing that happened is Cleveland beat the Sox last night so the Twins lead is 1.5 and 3.5, rather than 2 and 3.
  21. USAFChief
    Are you sure? Because pretty much any random game in those days was likely to feature a ball bouncing off Hatcher's glove.
  22. USAFChief
    Interesting idea. I wonder why nobody has proposed it before.
  23. USAFChief
    Boston losing is most assuredly not worse.
  24. USAFChief
    Hopefully the Twins read The Athletic and have already made this proposal to the Reds.
  25. USAFChief
    That would be a lot more relevant were it 1967.
