    We've already won the numbers game for relievers.
  2. howieramone2
    Give Cleveland credit for being a well run organization. IMHO, we are roughly following their model for developing starting pitching.
  3. howieramone2
    It will make it harder to get into the HOF.
  4. howieramone2
    Actually on the Draft Wednesday chat, Callis predicted Stewart would make it to The Show in 2015. Believe it or not, we were not the only ones who missed on him.
  5. howieramone2
    They should do nothing.
  6. howieramone2
    Reclamation projects like Walker are a dime a dozen. Can't believe we have 2 threads going. He should wait for a ST injury.
  7. howieramone2
    Virtually every team has had pitching issues the last 3+ years and this trend shows no signs of going away. I never thought I'd live to see dumpster diving become fashionable. Being ranked the 4th best team by MLB.com, means the corner we've painted ourselves into is huge.
  8. howieramone2
    Couldn't help noticing MLB.com power rankings have us 4th, and your favorite team 8th. We appreciate your help, but are you comfortable leaving the Cards behind in their time of need?
  9. howieramone2
    No team in baseball is going to pay anywhere near 96M for Price. We can afford to wait the Sox out. If we offer 3 years for 10-12 per, the Pohlads may bite.
  10. howieramone2
    We have signed 8 free agents for 152M. 4 of which were in MLBTR's top 50, and 2 in that group starting pitchers in their top 20. We have 3 healthy starters who have already spent time in The Show, fighting over 1.25 spots. Our highly rated and deep farm system remains intact. No doubt we will trade for a #3, before we do battle with our old friends, the Yankees.
  11. howieramone2
    One of 4 starters added at the 2018 trade deadline. At some point in time, starting pitching becomes a numbers game.
  12. howieramone2
    Agree, Pittsburgh wants young prospects. I wouldn't move a starting pitching prospect over A ball. Use Cleveland as a road map.
  13. howieramone2
    You need to be very careful about saying anything positive about TR. LaVelle personally told me, and others who read the Sunday sports page, TR was in charge of IFA during the Bill Smith era.
  14. howieramone2
    Starting pitching needs to be center stage. We're set at 2B, CF, and if push comes to shove, Lewis brings versatile star power.
  15. howieramone2
    Our desperation ended when we quickly signed Odorizzi and Pineda. No doubt we will sign a #3 before we deal with the Yankees.
  16. howieramone2
    I'm confident we will pick up a #3 at some point in time and deal with the Yankees accordingly.
  17. howieramone2
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe last time you blamed coaching. Mindset, coaching it really doesn't matter. There are 29 other teams out there, if our favorite team is offered starting pitching value I'm sure they would consider it.
  18. howieramone2
    Thorpe and Smeltzer foretell the future. Thorpe comes from TR's IFA initiative and Smeltzer from Falvey's storied 2018 trade deadline moves.
  19. howieramone2
    I can't believe the board is embracing dumpster diving. Thorpe and/or Smeltzer will handle the 6 game or so Pineda void just fine.
  20. howieramone2
    Toronto flushed 80M down the toilet on Ryu, we gambled 3M on Hill. Baseball is indeed a weird business.
  21. howieramone2
    We can win the Central in our sleep. Dobnak and Thorpe are more than good enough until the full crew arrives. At some point in time Falvey will come up with a #3, then we will deal with the Yankees.
  22. howieramone2
    During an offseason where dumpster diving suddenly became fashionable, I like this move.
  23. howieramone2
    Sale has elbow concerns until proven otherwise, and not even the large market teams are sniffing around.
  24. howieramone2
    The Astros drafted 1-1 two years in a row. The first is out of baseball. Last I heard, the second is injury prone and/or buried in A ball.
  25. howieramone2
    They are not going to develop starting pitchers just to turnaround and trade them. Unlikely they move any starting pitcher over A ball.
