  1. Remember when so many people were talking about how great Grossman was, and that we found a diamond in the rough, and that he was still young, and wondering why it was unreasonable to believe he put the pieces together now that he was with us,and so on and so forth. Good times.
  2. The Cubs move people around a lot, but the guys who get shuffeled can actually play the positions they get moved to well. Like Bryant is a very good 3B, but sometimes others needs to play, so he gets moved out to OF where he's showed competence and an IF gets 3B. We have very few players who can play their #1 position well.
  3. yeah, just not sure it has to do with anything between the ears is all I'm saying.
  4. BTW, I'll say it again. If a real 1B is out there, the runner is out for out #3. All that nonsense that happened after that was when they should have already been in the dugout. Doesn't excuse Duffy's breakdown at all, but again. Defense matters. Playing people out of position all the time has consequences.
  5. more of an expert on unloading, myself :-)
  6. He's had 7 starts. A LITTLE too early to label him like that.
  7. Oh please don't let this be true. We are SOOOOO screwed.
  8. Gordon came back from injury too soon. His timing was off. He's hit very well this month and been on an absolute terror the last week or so.
  9. Keep him in just long enough to really let the game get away from us.
  10. A real 1B stretches enough to make that an out.
  11. I've seen it called a lot and argued to be called even more.
  12. When did the Royals decide one of the very best defensive CFs in the game the last four years should be moved to RF?
  13. If Kepler runs all out there, he's safe
  14. The Keys stats this broadcast team uses cracks me up.
  15. I had a two year tour in Germany, and was never there for OKtoberfest.
  16. I was wondering which arcane rule he was referring to.
  17. yeah, pretty soon he'll hit doubt digits... The second game in his last 11 games he got at least one BB. That qualifies as quite often recently for Dick.
  18. So two games in a row with Mauer not at 1B? yup, defense is a priority...
  19. Bert now thinks players should have intent before getting called out for running outside the baseline. Players are taught to run inside on bunts to try and force a bad throw. The rules are in place. Run in the baseline. No need to read a players mind to see if he meant to interfere.
  20. the point of showing his FIP is to show that even with a good defense, he would still be a bad starter. As far as knowing why one gives someone an extension, thats obvious. What apparently isnt obvious is the type of player that makes it a good move for the team to buy out some free agent years. Gibson is not one.
  21. he is in his prime years now and he blows. He is getting worse not better. Players dont normally get better in their early thirties which is where hed be in his FA eligible years. Id rather we shoot for better myself.
  22. For the love of (insert Deity of Choice), don't buy out any of his free agent years. I think I mentioned that earlier. Why would we want to buy out his age 32 and beyond years after seeing what kind of pitcher he is in supposedly his prime now? Cause the first year of FA years, he'll be 32.
  23. And they were 22nd in DRS last year and last in 2014. Buxton has 6 DRS in only 500 or so innings played in the field Mauer has 4 DRS in hair over 700 innings played in the field.
