    Tough job. I like what you did.

    Pressly was not going to be extended, so we got a nice return. Houston has a reputation of fixing certain pitchers but no way could they have imagined Pressly would put together back to back career half seasons. Bottomline is we will win that trade.
  3. howieramone2
    Davis and Diaz are good examples of trading high, as was Pressly.

    I vote TR. The board blamed him for everything else, I can't think of any reason not to include this.

    Jay was a solid pick, and by no means a reach. I believe it was FanGraphs that had him up to number #3 a week before the draft. Take a look at how the Astros did when they had 1-1 picks 2 years in a row. Also, why would you let a college coach make the final determination on who is a starter and who is a reliever?

    You will not hear Cavaco mentioned without the word raw. As a 3B/SS, he plays positions of our favorite teams greatest organizational position need. Solid pick.

    If I hadn't read somewhere that Falvey was considered to be a pitching guru, I would think our favorite team is looking to play Beer Ball.

    Mike, we may be looking at the largest number of, and highest quality of UDFAs in the history of the game. In an unrelated matter, it appears our benevolent owners have the checkbook out already.

    When I lived in Philadelphia there was a story circulating about what bad fans they are. It was said if they opened the stadium so young children could hunt for Easter eggs, the fans would boo the young kids who didn't find any.

    90%+ of all teams won't find an ace in free agency. They will start loading up on pitching at some point.
  11. howieramone2
    Andy MacPhail used to say buy bats, develop pitching. My guess is most of our starting pitching will be homegrown no later than 2022. 5th solid first round pick in a row.

    There are many reasons why the Indians have not won the World Series since 1948.
  13. howieramone2
    Great job you guys! Looking forward to additional coverage.
  14. howieramone2
    Falvey dicussed the trade on Inside Twins several days later. Alcala was not the centerpiece.
  15. howieramone2
    TR immediately took a mid-market team on a full rebuilt. That is by far the biggest reason for our lack of success in the 2010s. With all the teams recently and/or currently rebuilding, tanking etc., I don't understand why we have so many on the board who continue to be confused on TR's role.
  16. howieramone2
    If it's not broken, don't fix it. I can't be the only one on the board that coached.
  17. howieramone2
    Good stuff. Not a bad draft to have multiple picks like the Snakes and Braves had recently. Both picks we moved were win now moves which trump all.
  18. howieramone2
    Hyperbolic is in the eyes of the beholder. The I'm Smarter Than the FO Clique is as delusional as ever.
  19. howieramone2
    It's not speculation. On MLBTR and/or MLB.com he has been referred to as a pitching guru. And no, I don't have a link. I do understand how painful it is, for some members to hear positive things about our FO. Get used to it.
  20. howieramone2
    You don't need a great rotation to win the World Series. The game is decided on the field of play, not on paper. Falvey has us in the hunt, with enviable depth.
  21. howieramone2
    Doc, we're on the same page with these players.
  22. howieramone2
    Falvey is always in the market. You can never tell when a mythical ace will be available.
  23. howieramone2
    In the days of yore, I believe Neshek and Laudner played on the same Legion team. Laudner was pointed out to me, no mention of Neshek.
  24. howieramone2
    No. Much rather get a Maeda type for pie in the sky. Don't confuse free agency with Christmas.
  25. howieramone2
    Good job. Tough to compare Balazovic to Nola. Nola was an ace at one of the best college programs. I liked Trea Turner, then Nola in that draft.
