    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.
  2. dxpavelka
    If he played 90% of the games that contract would be $250 million and he'd have a different address.
  3. dxpavelka
    And move Duran to the rotation....

    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"......

    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.
  6. dxpavelka
    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.
  7. dxpavelka
    he just might have
  8. dxpavelka
    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.

    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.
  10. dxpavelka
    If they're making the bases bigger to help player safety, why not just go the softball route and have double bases at first?
  11. dxpavelka
    Must have missed where I put a percentage on it. I'm just saying there's a chance.
  12. dxpavelka
    It's almost like you're not even familiar with the game.
  13. dxpavelka
    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
  14. dxpavelka
    yeah, maybe not
  15. dxpavelka
    Much easier to make that reply a week later.

    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.
  17. dxpavelka
    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. :
  18. dxpavelka
    Great. Now we just gotta hope we get there. Reminder: Hope is not a strategy.
  19. dxpavelka
    Wait. You're telling me that hitters have more success against one of a pitcher's secondary pitches than against his best pitch? Shocking.
  20. dxpavelka
    And yet TK's got the rings.
  21. dxpavelka
    And maybe that health and staying off the IL is a result of how they are being handled.....
  22. dxpavelka
    Maybe that durability and number of starts are a product of the length of their starts.....
  23. dxpavelka
    Yep
  24. dxpavelka
    Here's a fun fact: For all the consternation about their length of starts, Al (Ted) Bundy & Archer are second and fourth on the staff in Innings Pitched.
  25. dxpavelka
    Actually, odds are, Gardy was actually the more "enlightened" of the two when it comes to the "analytics" side of stuff.
