  1. speaking of which... vodka and lemonade. What are you drinking?
  2. OK, home made seafood mac and cheese in the slow cooker... back to the game. I see Sano is out to prove me wrong (and I hope he does).
  3. They are trying to reach new markets.
  4. It's the 3rd strike that usually prevents that.
  5. Mauer is allowed to let ball 1 go by anytime...
  6. anyone worried yet about Santana's lack of strike outs?
  7. Danny Duffy on pace for the strike out record as well.
  8. ESPN game case is in season form I see, recording every out in the seats in RF foul territory.
  9. I think the top is in. That correction appears to be here. Should be some good buys in the near future. If you were thinking of taking some profit, now would be the time to do it.
  10. Don't worry. I don't think anyone would confuse you as a Limbaugh fan.
  11. Well, I'm a fan, and I'm rational I want the org to make smart decisions and I'm not going to fault them when they do that and it fails (such as Meyer). I will fault them when they make dumb decisions, and there have been plenty. No need to rehash.
  12. Mauer is the only one I find out of place personally. I'd put him at 2, slide castro and polcano up a spot and put grossman in behind them...
  13. Looks like someone needs to go for a drive.
  14. Bob, I love these pieces that you've been doing... well done.
  15. This is the same logic used take Stewart for the record, and a lot of people are very down on that pick. He had without question the highest ceiling of the guys left. I'm not against Greene, and I'm fine with that at 1 overall, but I highly doubt people will give Greene a pass if he busts.
  16. Great game for Bukauskas last night, striking out 10 in 7 innings. McKay went 2/4 with a HR. On the mound he went 6 strong, only 2ks, 2BB, and 6 hits. Poche went 7, striking out 6, 2BB, 2R, and 8 hits... This might be a guy worth snagging later. He's probably a first rounder, perhaps we can offer enough for him to slide to 35. Faedo went 7.2 striking out 7, 1 BB, and 6 hits. 3 runs plated (only 1 earned). My fun to follow Parker Dunshee at WF went 7 innings striking out 9. 1 run and 1 BB.
  17. These are the guys that I'd trade or some cases consider trading, most of which I'd think of flipping even if they were contending so long as a capable replacement was near by. Most won't get much, and I'm fine with that. Starting Pitchers: Ervin Santana Hector Santiago Phil Hughes Bullpen: Brandon Kintzler Matt Belisle Craig Breslow Michael Tonkin Ryan O'Rourke (DL) Catchers: Chris Gimenez Infielders: Brian Dozier Ehire Adrianza (DL) Outfielders: Robbie Grossman Danny Santana I think the team can at tops win 85 games, and yes I know that's optimistic. I think they flirt with .500 for most of the season. Even in that scenario, I'm not sure I'd be in buyer mode at the deadline unless I was picking up something that would help over the next couple years. Realistically, I'd expect one or two relievers, Santiago if we're lucky, and Dozier to get moved.
  18. Eddie isn't a guy that needs a sexy K/BB ratio to be a good player as his contact skills are exceptional. A few ticks on each side of that equation will be more than enough to lead to much better numbers overall. Problem is that I don't see if that Eddie will show up... Hope he does. We need it. A Rosario, Buxton, Kepler OF would be pretty defensively, and if Eddie can improve at the plate, it would improve the other half of that equation too.
  19. Is that what 30-35 man depth looks like?
  20. After reading Sickles, I think the idea of him two way is more likely given that it looks like he won't need to stay long in the minors I like McKay. Probably my pick right now.. Oh, and he shares the same birthday with me... as well as Byron Buxton... so there's that.
