    Someone who finally gets it!
  2. howieramone2
    Maybe because it's not true.

    Molly is working diligently to make our favorite team better defensively. Can't imagine he will take a step backwards and allow Pinto behind the plate.
  4. howieramone2
    I had that same thought. I've read 3 or 4 minor league scouting reports when he was younger, and there is no hint he can't be an average defender.
  5. howieramone2
    There are so few of those, they are real easy to miss. The handful of Good Winners on the board would certainly endorse this practice.
  6. howieramone2
    There is no way everything a catcher does is measurable. If the guys on the team really like the catcher, he's a good player. If Glen Perkins rips a catcher in the paper, that means Pinto sucks.

    If the key word is "phenom", I'm going with Stewart.
  8. howieramone2
    Stewart. It's a big deal for a multi-sport athlete to go from a thrower to a pitcher, while battling heath concerns. 50% is makeup, 25% is scouting, only 25% is stats. Still on the path to being a frontline starter.
  9. howieramone2
    I agree, time to deal for bullpen help. Long term, the draft classes of 2012 and 2014, and our two Rule 5 pickups will fix it. But, to win now we need to deal.
  10. howieramone2
    I think their exact words were, Rosario will play second when Mauer catches.
  11. howieramone2
    He sits out there with the bullpen guys. He can't throw the first pitch, but is eligible to throw every one thereafter. Doesn't sound like limbo to me. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the David Ortiz situation in 2002, what # would you assign this limbo?
  12. howieramone2
    That's an argument they know they can't win. Several teams draft better, several draft worse. The majority are right in the middle with our favorite team over time.
  13. howieramone2
    Dave, I never took you for a hindsight guy. Add Hughes and increase it to 150M, and I would say no. Then again I don't play fan board fantasy.
  14. howieramone2
    Way too much hindsight. Our favorite team has all kinds of money they can spent, and Hughes, Santana, and Nolasco are far from non-performing contracts at this point. Six or seven competent starting pitchers is not too many.
  15. howieramone2
    The Ortiz deal was 13 years ago.
  16. howieramone2
    Yeah, our favorite team has done that historically every 13 years.
  17. howieramone2
    Why? He's made the HOF as a scout and it's just a matter of time until he does as a GM.
  18. howieramone2
    Once may be enough.
  19. howieramone2
    Mike, maybe the guys will hold you down and give you a dose of patience.
  20. howieramone2
    When you have the ability to sign a Sano, Polanco, and Kepler in one class, does it really matter?
  21. howieramone2
    The past several years when our favorite team couldn't possibly compete, the win now guys were thick as mosquitos. I wonder what happened to those guys. Regardless, Ryan is going for the jugular.
  22. howieramone2
    Buxton didn't look embarrassed to me in his first 37 AB's.
  23. howieramone2
    Continuing to use a vet who has been lights out is hardly appeasement. May, may or may not be a cornerstone of the future. Also, there are some on the board who believe the future is right now.
  24. howieramone2
    I would guess we won't need them for at least a year. Now that they're healthy, I would watch the 2012 Draft Class. Also, I would be surprised if we don't acquire a veteran lefty at the deadline.
  25. howieramone2
    I think the board has been showing remarkable constraint. After all, Buxton struck out in his first PA and no one berated the FO for not selling high.
