    Sounds like a myth to me. It's not that challenging to put a negative spin on any move whatsoever.

    Having depth is the opposite of painting oneself into a corner. If a spot becomes available, most likely they will have multiple choices. Too many major league ready pitchers is a good thing. As TR always says, these things have a way of working themselves out.

    Of course winning games in 2016 is the top priority. They did not ignore the bullpen in the offseason, they just didn't do what you wanted them to. The bullpen will be much improved this season due to our depth and by 2017, I wouldn't doubt we have power arms to deal. I would be very surprised if our favorite team ever signs any additional decline phase pitchers in free agency.

    May was an option, he just wasn't the winner.
  6. howieramone2
    Mike, one or two doesn't add up to most.
  7. howieramone2
    I haven't seen anything to suggest that.
  8. howieramone2
    May after 25 starts is a 4, and probably our 6th or 7th best starter at this point in time. Sano is 20-25 errors waiting to happen at 3B.
  9. howieramone2
    Both our starting staff and bullpen will be above average as we contend for the Central. Who cares about that other stuff.
  10. howieramone2
    What's simple is, the strongest part of our farm team is power arms in the pen. That we didn't add flexibility to those plans is nonsense.
  11. howieramone2
    Bingo!
  12. howieramone2
    Our favorite team had no intention of getting rid of a starting pitcher with a career record of 41-29. Could you list the 4M relievers available to us you wanted to block our young prospects? Hopefully they are not the decline phase relievers from the NL requiring multi-year contracts. You realize they will start regressing before they even discover where the men's rooms are at Target Field.

    We didn't sign any free agent starting pitchers this off season. Now if you're doing the hindsight thing, no one screamed harder than you to sign FA's. Shame on our favorite team for not signing the exact ones you desired. We moved arguably the 6th or 7th best starter to the bullpen. This sounds so much like Meyer, Pinto, Arcia, Zach Jones etc.
  14. howieramone2
    It's patently absurd for you to accuse me of saying that. Could you be more specific on which roster blunders you are speaking of?
  15. howieramone2
    Just look at the stats for his first 25 starts. If he couldn't pitch out of the pen, he may not have even made the team. Anyway we can stop overrating board favorites?
  16. howieramone2
    Do you have names for those some other teams? Sounds to me like fan board moves.
  17. howieramone2
    Park is going to be better than board favorites Meyer, Pinto, and Arcia combined. Also, my grandmother's lefsa was to die for.
  18. howieramone2
    Yeah, it may have been different if he hadn't crapped the bed in Rochester.
  19. howieramone2
    They didn't give up on him last season, he broke his ankle.
  20. howieramone2
    I'm going with Zach Jones.
  21. howieramone2
    I don't consider a broken ankle an ailment.
  22. howieramone2
    We had another member say the Pelfrey spat in March, caused our favorite team to move May, months later, out of the rotation, thereby costing them a playoff spot. I think Pinto forgetting to duck 3 types during one PA during ST cost them a playoff spot.
  23. howieramone2
    Why not? It's the slow time of the season, if you have something to present to the board, now is the time.
  24. howieramone2
    Actually, that was TR's first draft back. Once again, great job by the only GM I am aware of who completely rebuilt a mid-market team in less than 4 years. For those still able to follow along, it is my belief few teams after becoming a contender still have a farm system loaded with talent, particularly at the top of the pipeline.
  25. howieramone2
    Great job by TR and the front office!
