    Defense has been a problem for a long time now. It is a night and day difference without Buxton out there making up for Grossman's terrible range.

    I love your prospect threads, Bob! It's very interesting to see videos of the prospects pitching or hitting. Romero certainly looks like a guy to keep an eye on next season, as he'll most likely start 2017 in AA.
  3. Vanimal46
    Perhaps he is. I'm no great Cardinals lineup mind. Just saw him on the qualified 2B stat list on Fangraphs and assumed he did.

    If you ask nicely, I will come back to pitch for Minnesota.

    I don't doubt that he is more plugged in than us. I just think it's funny when plugged in people make up these silly terms. Every plugged in person in every sport does it. In the MLB maybe that will be the new thing, a 2nd OF, 3rd OF, etc. The NBA you have your "Stretch 4" or "Stretch 5" NFL you have "Catch Radius" and other silly terms that will come back to me when I start watching football again.

    Doesn't it feel like the Phelps / Ledecky headline should have been 2 separate columns? Ledecky getting the front page/ more coverage because she actually won. Then a separate blurb that Phelps couldn't win another gold. What other event would that make sense to combine 2 different people and results? Headline: Andy Murray wins at Wimbledon! Serena Williams wins 7th Wimbledon and 22nd major title.

    Whatever makes people feel like they're plugged into the league, I guess. Kind of makes me want to submit a question asking if Joe Mauer can keep it up to remain the 1st 1B next season.

    There could be a fit with the Dodgers. I forgot they have Chase Utley's decaying corpse playing 2B... I don't really see the fit with the Cardinals. Matt Carpenter is pretty solid. Personally I think there's better fits in the AL. And I would hope that an AL team pays a higher price because he could slide in as a very capable DH.
  9. Vanimal46
    Yeah that one stuck out to me as really bad. Who cares, at all, that she's married to a Chicago Bears fan? I guess they thought they could get more clicks from average joe who see "Footbaw wife? I like footbaw!"
  10. Vanimal46
    My instant reaction watching that is "What the hell??" That's a very lazy play. Very lazy.
  11. Vanimal46
    It sounds like RB prefers a well done steak. If that's the case, he's cooking steaks the wrong way.

    Happy birthday TK! To celebrate his birthday, take a load off, because it's National Relaxation Day! I had a lazy day yesterday after we saw rain for the first time in 70ish days down here in Austin. Today is also National Lemon Meringue Pie Day! Boy do I love me some lemon meringue pie! My grandmother, RIP, was a fantastic cook. One of her signature desserts was this, and it was delicious... Finally, on this day in 1969, perhaps some of you took a road trip to Bethel, NY.... Why do you ask? Well, a famous festival began today... That festival was Woodstock. Was anyone fortunate enough to attend?
  13. Vanimal46
    2 more errors for Grossman yesterday. He's proving to be a huge liability in the field. I don't want a 4th OF who can't play in the field.
  14. Vanimal46
    Do you think Nick Gordon gets a cup of coffee at AA before it's all said and done? Or will he start at AA beginning in 2017?
  15. Vanimal46
    Did anyone watch Usain Bolt last night in the 100 M race? My god... Normal people who start like that finish in 7th or 8th place. The crazy thing was there didn't appear to be any moment in that race where he lost focus or panic during that atrocious start.

    One of my favorites so far from Brock's recommendation, Gone with the Blastwave. http://www.blastwave-comic.com/comics/20060505.jpg

    Perhaps the Yankees are a fit to acquire Dozier now that they restocked their farm system? It should be no surprise that Castro is nothing special, with 0.4 WAR according to Fangraphs. Sanchez + some of their new prospects for Dozier?
  18. Vanimal46
    Hopefully more likely with the new regime than the TR era... If Kinzler is brought back, I agree he needs a short leash, a 2016 Fien leash, and bring up the young guys. Most everything this season has been mind.boggling. We're heading into September with decisions to be made, and not a lot of data to make those decisions.
  19. Vanimal46
    They have until tomorrow to trade him or keep him, no? I am not sure, and looking for clarification...
  20. Vanimal46
    This sounds eerily similar to justifying Casey Fien coming back at the start of this season. He's cheap! They say. Fien did okay for us! They say. I think we can aim higher for a relief pitcher this off-season. Let Kintzler go.
  21. Vanimal46
    Yeah this team has too many examples of stating a player's injury is minor right away, then all of a sudden they're out for the season.
  22. Vanimal46
    Luckily Dozier has turned things around after being a replacement player for 11 months. There was a stat mentioned on Gleeman and the Geek which prompts me to be on the sell Dozier now bandwagon. From July 2015 to July 2016, 125-ish games, he was batting around .200 with a replacement level OPS. His streaky play is incredibly frustrating, and it's not just a couple of weeks where he's hot or cold. We're talking about entire halves of the season either being red hot or ice cold. If Dozier keeps it up the rest of the season, I would think he could be sold at a premium rate this off-season.
  23. Vanimal46
    O'Rourke is a guy who can easily be DFA'd just like Albers once other pitchers are healthy or September comes around. Melotakis IMO is the more intriguing call up.. Who knows if he catches lightning in a bottle for 10ish innings before the rosters expand.
  24. Vanimal46
    Well, it's the final countdown for Suzuki. Take the money and run? Or wait for a flawed prospect at a later date?
  25. Vanimal46
    I don't hold any grudge against A-Rod, and he was one of the most talented players I've seen in my baseball fandom. He's this close to 700 why not see if he can do it in the next month and a half? Just not on the Twins.
