    Ron Anderson sounds like the name of a good bench coach

    See Colon, Bartolo

    Hope that an NL team can be sold on his late season recovery as the representation of his current value; as opposed to a nice stretch of receiving lots of run support while pitching against mediocre teams

    I think we need to sell high on Gibson and move on to something else before he ReBlackburnizes. Mejia's ultimate role might be as a Mijares. Anything from AA is simply depth for a contending team.

    The catcher visits and the infielder visits annoy me and seem to add to the problem. To me an acknowledgment at least would be to start the games earlier. If a game started at 6:30 rather than 7:11, late inning heroics would be more likely to be broadcast for the prime time viewing audience.

    Did you watch the game on Tuesday

    Today's game? Swing for the fences or strikeout - we've got that. The part of today's game we don't have is power arms with power sliders. We had Buddy Boshers warming up yesterday for gosh sakes. Get pitching and let Molitor fail when he has better options before declaring him incompetent.

    Party if you win the wild card game

    Shouldn't the Rays have to play all of their backups, just to be fair?

    One thing I've noticed on Joe is he looks like he's running with ease around the bases. His legs must feel good and strong which is important for his hitting base.
  11. lukeduke1980
    I think they were just taking advantage of his option. I like him and hope he sticks around and improves his contact and pitch recognition.
  12. lukeduke1980
    You could tell Ervin wasn't feeling it, or that the AZ hitters were jumping his fastballs and he needed time to rethink his game plan. Lessons I hope Berrios picks up over time. Otherwise an incredibly fun night.

    How do the Pohlads feel about him(?) Do they love him being the local hero or cringe because they're the ones signing his checks...
  14. lukeduke1980
    This is the surprising part. I was expecting a reduced Mauer role as he continually shows that he wears down. Enns will likely be yo-yo'd though so maybe Vargas or a Garver will come back.
  15. lukeduke1980
    So is it time to extend Bartolo?
  16. lukeduke1980
    I'd take Verlander and his current contract over Jake Arrieta's and his next contract
  17. lukeduke1980
    It took months to jettison Breslow. Granted the old FO would've given Belisle an extension but we can't have the entire bullpen be undependable innings eaters. Rogers and Kintzler are okay pieces but they can't do it all. Call up the arms - like Romero since he's being limited innings; and call up any of the guys who can throw a slider and strike someone out.
  18. lukeduke1980
    Trade grossman - high obp guy who switch hits - should get something. The same could be said for Esco but I think he's an intangibles guy who needs to be around. I'd trade Kintzler too, for anything.
  19. lukeduke1980
    always a chance but they have adams and freeman at 1B
  20. lukeduke1980
    To me it's a conditional yes - make a separate trade for a starter as well.
  21. lukeduke1980
    I've thought Gibson straight up for a Feldman or Volquez would be worth it. We wouldn't give up any prospects, Gibson is young(ish) and still controllable, and could be seen as a project that the right pitching coach would be up for.
  22. lukeduke1980
    I'm curious to see what Kansas City does with their impending free agents - buy because this is their last shot in a while or sell to regroup faster. I think the Twins should counter whatever they do with the opposite. Of course the Astros Yankees and Dodgers series might make it all moot with Gibby and Duffey and crew.
  23. lukeduke1980
    I think the best thing to do is market him to an NL team who might be able to turn him around. Maybe like Pittsburgh who has made Ivan Nova into an almost All Star
  24. lukeduke1980
    How about a scott feldman type straight up for Kyle Gibson?
  25. lukeduke1980
    To me Breslow's presence at the start of the season was Falvine hoping to spin him at the break for a prospect. Not sure now though...
