  1. Much in favor of Mr. Beauchamp's proposal. I'd like to attach a few trendy baseball lingo items to the list as well (i.e., "raking" and/or "...at a clip...").
  2. Ever since the Mollie hire, I've had a funny feeling that they'd surprise us with a major changing of the guard. I boldly predict that this offseason or next, Ryan steps down, Molitor becomes GM, and Dougie gets to manage the big club.
  3. well, that would be crazy talk. two months of average defense? Probably not going to lift that starting rotation too much. I might be wrong, in which case, I'd refer back to the quote where I'm an idiot.
  4. I agree that he will help them to score runs. But they don't need help scoring runs. They lead all of baseball in Runs scored by a margin of 72. Also, considering that the Yankees and the O's are both top ten offensive teams, I'm not sure that's the move I would have made. but i'm not GM of the Jays, I'm just an idiot with a TD account, so whatever.
  5. This trade doesn't address a need for Toronto at all. They already had a premier offense. They've added a few extra runs, more than likely, but I don't see this helping them very far towards their goal.
  6. 1. Trade for AJ. 2. Send AJ down to Cedar Rapids. 3. Let AJ beg to be called back up. 4. "Call him up" as bullpen catcher. 5. Start up a funny new bit where TC shoots AJ with aT-shirt cannon inbetween innings. AJ sucks.
  7. This guy's clearly a spy. Don't tell this narc anything.
  8. 100% agree. I was just saying that they put May in the pen probably because he'd be more receptive to that change. Pelf wanted his shot, he got it, and now he's demonstrated that he's not capable. That's all. Go team.
  9. Well... yeah. of course you do. He showed emotion in April and made a passionate case for himself. He started falling off a bit after that, but you have to give the guy a a chance to rise to the occasion. You set your players up for success and let them earn their keep. That's good management. This whole quit-whining-and-do-as-you're-told-you-big-dumb-millionaire mentality is pretty naive.
  10. I guess I feel like you should give a guy the opportunity to bounce back. But, he didn't so whatever.
  11. They had a good thing going with Pelf when the decision was made. It didn't really add up, but he was overperforming. Based on the fit he threw when starting the season in the pen, they clearly figured May, being more confident, less fragile mentally, would be better equipped to take on a new role. It didn't work on the field, but it was probably a thoughtful managerial decision. May will be back in there real soon, and maybe Pelf will feel at this point as though he'd been given that fair shot after all.
  12. Buxton for discounted Tulo + some pitcher guy. Oh-- and Morneau's contract so he can retire a Twin and we can all get a warm feeling inside.
  13. This rumor doesn't appear to be on Rockies fans' radar at all.
  14. Please mark me down as not interested in watching Carter Capps jump around the mound like a farting dog.
  15. Because that's, like, kind of their whole thing.
  16. Bill Smith. There's six right there.
  17. Suzie's numbers looked pretty good at the half-way mark last year too. Let's not everybody go nuts.
  18. No doubt. Neil Allen appears to be have a huge impact on our pitching corps. I would like for Meyer to have more of an opportunity to work with him in the big league pen.
  19. In the outfield, duh.
  20. I hope we can land a big, power-hitting first base type. Or maybe a solid middle of the rotation kind of guy.
  21. How about let's not be trading anyone away for used-up old codgers? Hawkins, Benoit, and K-Rod? Puhhhleaze, girlfriend.
  22. "Top 10 pitchers, regardless of handedness: Clemens Cy Young Greg Maddux Walter Johnson Big Unit Nolan Ryan Bert Blyleven Gaylord Perry Pete Alexander Steve Carlton" No Satchel Paige? That's some bulljive.
  23. Fork Sano, fork Buxton, fork Kepler--Arcia's cool--fork Walker, I'm out.
  24. We've got too many projects on this team as it is. I hope Ozzie ends up putting it together...just somewhere other than Target Field.
