    I think Austin is indeed a nice find, and has a good chance to be valuable as a lefty masher for several years.

    I think you keep Gibson, and try to contend in 2019. If needed, he can be dealt next July for probably the same price.

    Concur on the OP's list (with possible exception of Morrison), Bobby Wilson, and I also expect Drake and Field to be off the 40 man.

    It becomes real easy on Sep 1st, no?
  5. USAFChief
    Concur!

    Trump has taken over the Republican Party, that's for sure. Here in Arizona for example, Republican Congresswoman Martha McSally (a retired AF Col who I actually served with, and voted for) is running for Jeff Flake's Senate seat, taking on Joe Arpaio (Yes, THAT Joe Arpaio) and a former state Senator wingnut named Kelli Ward in the R primary race. Ward previously lost to John McCain in the last primary for his seat. She's an incredibly bad candidate, but she was in on the Trump bandwagon early and hard, and is making the primary a lot closer than it should be. If Arpiao drops out (he's draining off the wingnut vote), there's a real chance she beats McSally. Flake himself is only retiring because his vocal distaste for Trump left him with a very real chance of losing this primary. It should be a guaranteed win for McSally...except she showed some character during the presidential primary and criticized Trump. I had no trouble voting for her in the first place, because I knew her personally, and she had always been someone I admired. Strong, couragous, principled. But the primary has shown that you can't stand against Trump here in AZ, and as the race has tightened she's moved many of her previous positions to align with Trump. Disappointing, to say the least, but it shows the power of Trumpism. Say what you will about Trump, but he's fully in command of the Republican Party apparatus.

    Hence the TR-like W/L record?

    Concur. Life without Parole is a necessary option. And I wouldn't waste a penny on rehab for these individuals. A couple things we could do: Legalize and/or decriminalize drug crimes. We'd drop the number of people needing incarceration. Separate violent and non violent offenders in prison. We shouldn't subject persons who haven't committed violent crimes to violence, which is inevitable under the current situation.

    Weird. Ken George just doesn't have the same ring to it, though. He was wise to change it.

    I'd love to see Stewart in relief before year's end. It's fairly evident the stuff doesn't play as a starter. Concur.

    Mike Piazza says hi.
  15. USAFChief
    what are you implying?
  16. USAFChief
    Coupled with Garver behind the plate.
  17. USAFChief
    Top five in career WAR?
  18. USAFChief
    One of the few 2018 success stories. Very valuable.
  19. USAFChief
    The HR was nice...notable for its rarity.
  20. USAFChief
    The Houston Astros, entering play today, are 74-47. 27 games over .500, leading the ALW. Were they in the ALE, they would trail the Boston Red Sox by 9.5 games.
  21. USAFChief
    I'm ok with that.
  22. USAFChief
    He did say "hit over power." Ted Williams finished with a career .634 SLG. *fun with numbers: in 1957, as a 38 yr old, Ted Williams SLG'd .731.
  23. USAFChief
    Stick a fork in him?
  24. USAFChief
    Well duh...of course it is. Nobody ever wins at Twingo.
  25. USAFChief
    They'd get nothing for him, but they should sign him to play second base next year?
