    I saw that reply coming. But there's gotta be a reason they aren't putting him at RF, 1B, 3B or C. Especially with all the OF injuries this year.
  2. Shaitan
    As I've said elsewhere, I don't care much for Kepler. But Gordon has played 3 innings in RF in his career. He is not a right fielder.
  3. Shaitan
    That's not remotely the job of the manager. Maybe the marketing department...
  4. Shaitan
    He's hot at the right time and that's great. I do think he's a valuable utility player but I don't expect a lot more. Especially if he struggles in IF positions. I hope he proves me wrong. No such thing as too many players and he's fun to watch too.

    I'm not a Kepler fan. But I don't think Gordon has the arm for RF. But if Kirillof and Larnach are health and Celestino can be consistent, then Kepler is definitely expendable. But, given performance, why would anybody be lining up to trade for Kepler this offseason anyway? (which is digressing off topic a bit...)
  6. Shaitan
    How does Gordon look, defensively, at 2B? He's an emergency SS only, but if he can play any infield reliably his value increases a lot.
  7. Shaitan
    Reported for violation. I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to be positive on TD. /s

    Such a complex topic, given that minor league teams are affiliated but still aren't always owned by the parent team. This is overdue, of course. I'm just continually in awe at how this whole system works. Or mabye doesn't. I'm legit curious if any MiLB team makes money or if they're just a farm for the parent org.

    lol. The team won 73 games in 2021 and will match that total in early August this year. They are, at worst, progressing from last to third place in a single year. Rocco's job is secure unless he goes on some kind of Aaron Rogers or Charlie Sheen like self-destructive rampage.

    Considering it's a minor league deal, not much. But if the team keeps playing so many extra innings games, a player like Hamilton could be a real difference maker as a designated runner in the 10th. #ihatethatrulesomuch
  11. Shaitan
    So what happened here? It seems nobody picked him up, even for AAA?
  12. Shaitan
    Half of this game recap is about the two of them standing on base and nobody else driving them in. It's a team game. And it takes a team to lose too. (Yes, both could be playing better.)

    The look on Lowe's face is priceless.
  14. Shaitan
    They extended the minor league season this year, right? Otherwise, where are all these IL pitchers going to rehab?
  15. Shaitan
    Every player is a question mark. Isn't that why you watch games?
  16. Shaitan
    Just like you draw it up, haha.
  17. Shaitan
    In Game 6, sure. But given every other prospects' injury record and the lost 2020 minor league season, I say don't push him at this time of year. They added Lopez for a reason.
  18. Shaitan
    Duran is really efficient some days.
  19. Shaitan
    You're going on THE LIST.

    Gotta put this somewhere: One of the things I enjoy about this site is that there are several posters I disagree with on 90% of topics (baseball and otherwise). But then every so often they say something I 100% agree with. Baseball brings us together...er something. Even when we argue about contracts and pitch count philosophies and waiver wire stuff.
  21. Shaitan
    Tell that to Lew Ford!

    There is zero reason, ever, to sign a long-term deal with a player in their pre-arbitration years. They're already locked in for cheap. The only pros are that you might save some money if they don't regress or get injured., and that you build some goodwill with the player. The billionaire owners can afford spending a little more on a proven commodity and there are other ways to keep players happy. Plus, I can only assume many players who lock into these deals regret them years later when they see their market value rise. So it's no guarantee of happiness (if there is such a thing, haha). One could argue that these deals might increase strife. It's pretty common for a player to be upset when a team changes course, rebuilds, hires a new front office, etc, and then they demand a trade or drag others down with them.
  23. Shaitan
    Because a specialized long reliever is essentially a 6th starter, aka somebody who spends more games on the bench than on the field. It's more efficient to use the roster spot with a rotation of AAAA arms. I think the days of a Tony Fiore or whoever are gone.

    I've had ringworm. Ringworm of the scalp sounds awful.

    headline is in poor taste
