    and because Darvish is much better and getting paid less per year.

    Why do we keep talking about what Ryan did or didn't do and/or could or couldn't do? We don't know what he was allowed to spend. We don't know if he was frugal or spent all of what he could. And even if we did, it's irrelevant now. We need to move on instead of continuously slamming/defending his moves/non-moves. He is gone.

    No. then again, I'm hoping Gibson is bounced from the rotation. Mejia or Gonsalves taking Gibson's spot would make this question moot

    nope

    It's funny how many people mention the Indians win steak last year and say they weren't as good as they were. If they had gone 10-11 in that steak instead of 21-0, they still win the division by like 6 games. They were clearly the cream of the ALC crop last year and in 2016 too.

    88 and in the mix for the 2nd wild card.

    If you like going to movies, and go quite a bit, I recommend MoviePass.

    The last 10 games you mentioned, he had 3 games where he didn't even pitch 5 innings. 7 of those 10 games he pitched 6 or more innings (and in 1 of those 7 he gave up 5 ER). Basically, six of those were good outings and he finished his season with a clunker (3.2 IP, 3 ER). I know a lot of people are convinced he's figured it out, or will say that kind of ending is fine for a #5 pitcher. I believe only the latter to be true.

    The last offseason I enjoyed this much was the one before the 2010 season when we got Thome and a whole new MI.
  10. jimmer
    Angels made quite a few good moves this year, not just Ohtani. I think they will be fine.
  11. jimmer
    If healthy, I'd be fine with having him be a one inning guy too. Let him open it up an inning at a time.
  12. jimmer
    If Hughes is healthy, he should go to the bullpen. Which should always have been the plan.
  13. jimmer
    Concur. Should have been traded a couple years ago.

    Best thing about getting Odo and Lynn, once Santana gets back, Gibson should (hopefully) be out of the rotation. Santana Berrios Odo Lynn Mejia/May/Gonsalves Next year Santana Berrios Odo Pineda Mejia/May/Gonsalves These are true MLB rotations.

    The FO had a very, VERY good offseason. I mean, yeah, Darvish would have been great and Cobb would have been better than Lynn, but the EFFORT put forth by this FO has to be commended and I think this team got much better.
  16. jimmer
    Yeah, Neil Walker is still a very good player. A healthy Walker is a top 10 MLB 2B. He was #8 in wRC+ last year in an off year for him.
  17. jimmer
    Well, he managed to be much better at 34, so....
  18. jimmer
    29 1Bs had 500 PA or more. He ranked 19th in wRC+. So, a bit below average for sure if just talking offense, but I'll go ahead and take into account his defense too. He was right around average for 1Bs and I imagine he'll be even better this year.
  19. jimmer
    Bite your tongue (though you are almost assuredly right) P.S. You forgot May,
  20. jimmer
    Yeah, supposedly gone a couple years after I start collecting. No government should be allowed to keep pulling from that Trust set up for the people. I'm reeeeaaaaally glad I'm not going to have to depend on it, just in case it is gone.

    Go Mauer go!!! He'll have an even better year this year than last and get a 2-3 year extension.
  23. jimmer
    Well, winning an Oscar doesn't always mean the movie is good
  24. jimmer
    But then we look at Mauer's numbers with men on base and runners in scoring position and wonder, do we want someone who does so well in both scenarios batting leadoff either? Mauer In 2017: RISP: .333, .465, .472. Men on base: .318, .425, .444. He does BETTER with men on base and RISP, and he does better than Dozier in both situations too.

    It's pretty sad if Gonsalves is our 3rd best prospect.
