  1. PROOF is a scientific fact. You have none. Just your opinion. Which you're welcome to. Doesn't PROVE anything.
  2. Should never have left their old team. There was no adequate PROVEN replacement. I'm not terribly interested in what your uninterested in pursuing.
  3. Would have been plenty of ABs for Eddie & Cruz. What they did elsewhere is not necessary an indicator of what either would have done here. But, hey, If you're good with Kiriloff & Larnach on the 60 day and Cave hitting .224 and Contreras hitting .111 who am I to argue?
  4. There has yet to be a metric developed that measures heart. If there was one, this regime would not have moved on from guys like Eddie Rosario, Nelson Cruz and, soon, Carlos Correa.
  5. Not quite sure how this year PROVED that rest days don't help prevent injuries......
  6. This team has a "no heart" policy. Rosario had to go. Nelson Cruz shortly thereafter. Carols Correa's pretty much the only guy with heart this year. We'll do whatever it takes to ensure his departure.
  7. If he played 90% of the games that contract would be $250 million and he'd have a different address.
  8. And move Duran to the rotation....
  9. Just glanced at the sentence about Larnach & Kiriloff being hopefully fully healthy and didn't see the word "hopefully" at first. Thought: That's funny **** right there. Then I saw the word "hopefully" and then I remembered that "hope is not a strategy"......
  10. Lots of guys come back from TJS as starters. Would have been worth the shot. Not like we were flush with dominant SP while he was here.
  11. Um, mostly the fact that you listed them all as guys who expected to be starters ahead of him and if that's the expectation, innings go with it.
  12. The fact that May wasn't that great a relief pitcher only amplifies the fact that he MIGHT have been better as a starter. Would love to know how you'd be expecting more starting innings from any of Maeda, Ober or Winder next year than a doubling of Duran's 65 since none of them approached that number this year either.
  13. If banning shifts results in more hitting that means more action. If more action increases game times (or doesn't reduce game time as much) I don't see a down side. Just a better product. I do, however, agree that guys just need to learn to hit the ball where other guys ain't.
  14. If they're making the bases bigger to help player safety, why not just go the softball route and have double bases at first?
  15. Must have missed where I put a percentage on it. I'm just saying there's a chance.
  16. It's almost like you're not even familiar with the game.
  17. Dropped three and a half games in the standings in a week. No reason can't gain four and a half in three weeks. T
  18. Much easier to make that reply a week later.
  19. Funny thing about prospect rankings: They tend to go down as a result of success. Sure, ours has dropped, but I'm guessing it would be much higher if Miranda, Ryan and Duran were still prospects rather than top 20 MLB rookies.
  20. I know Duran has become a monster in the bullpen but what if he could be even better as a starter? All but two of his minor league games were starts, can't help but wonder what he'd do in that role in the big leagues. Went thru a similar deal with Trevor May almost a decade ago. Always wondered how he would have fared as a starter in the big leagues. :
  21. Great. Now we just gotta hope we get there. Reminder: Hope is not a strategy.
  22. Wait. You're telling me that hitters have more success against one of a pitcher's secondary pitches than against his best pitch? Shocking.
