  1. I'd be happy if they worked on Buxton's HITTING, period. The least of his batting problems is he can't bunt. This guy has been a top 2 prospect for three years and strikes out roughly 40% of the time while looking clueless at the plate at a much higher %.
  2. and the phenom gets embarrassed by a hanging meatball of a slider.
  3. 'A Productive Out' by Centeno according to our announcers.
  4. Telling ya, he has like 7 players pulls their positions out of the hat, and papers with the word 'bench' are in the hat too.
  5. Doesn't make sense, right? Escobar is the better shortstop, right?
  6. Should anyone lose their jobs? This team has been horrible for years. Has it all just been bad luck? Ryan didn't deserve to lose his job, Johnson doesn't deserve to lose his job. Antony doesn't either? I just keep reading how no one deserves to be fired (opinion is not always the OPs) Can we all at least agree MOLITOR should be fired? Can we all get behind that? :-)
  7. Ballboy makes a play worthy of MLB Network's Plays of the Day.
  8. AJ will never make the HOF and will be off the ballot after the first shot.
  9. That's what I keep saying. (and, BTW, it's 2/28 plus whatever he has left to be paid this year :-))
  10. Maxamuz: With the news James Shields is back on the trade market, who buys? LAD? BOS? 12:46 Dave Cameron: During this six start stretch where he’s “fixed” his problems and posted a 1.71 ERA, he’s running a 4.85 FIP/5.10 xFIP. No one should be very interested unless the White Sox are literally giving him away.
  11. When I think of Number 3 starters, Ervin Santana is exactly the type of pitcher that comes to mind.
  12. Dave Cameron mentioned Deadline Premium trade costs at least twice in his chat from today. IMO, if Santana is being under-paid (and I think he is), a team, especially a contender, would want him more now than in the offseason. They'd get him sooner, they'd get him for a playoff run, and they'd pay him less than he's worth. He's the kind of player a contending team should target now. I think now is when his trade value is highest. He's the kind of pitcher Baltimore should target.
  13. and a lot of people are forgetting his buyout of 1M. So it's 2/28 on top of what he's still owed
  14. He's under contract with the team. Doesn't mean it has to be as GM. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
  15. They could do that to get an even better prospect, but I don't see it happening. Anyway, I've read a ton of posts on whether or not we should trade him and I still am firmly in the trade him if you can camp. I can' t see us competing next year at all, so to me, keeping him makes no sense. Just my opinion. BTW, for those who say he's under-paid, he's already been worth over 14M and there's still 60+ games left.
  16. That and if you think he's getting under-paid (and by the market he may be), GMs look at that when determining what they want in return.
  17. Well , prepare yourself then, cause Nunez and/or a reliever might not even be traded.
  18. I'd trade Rosario or Grossman before I traded Palka. Rosario is best served as a 4th OF, not a starter. Been saying for a long time,
  19. And if Rosario was one of the OF he had in mind that are ready to stick, Smith signed him too.
  20. Actually, I've been saying DH. I don't think he'll end up a serviceable 3B, and I have never have thought that he would.
  21. I'm saying, in this instance, seems the amount of easy fly balls as opposed to line drives (on top of the many grounders to the 1B-2B side) suggest his BABIP is a product of his swing more than just bad luck. So you know, I'm a huge Kepler fan, basically since we got him, so there's no trying to prove one thing over another here, just thinking that in this instance, it has more to do with his swing than anything else. BTW, his BABIP is improving.
