    I'm not sure there truly is centerfield depth, but if the right deal came along for Celestino or Gordon, I wouldn't hesitate. Gordon might actually hurt more given his ability all over the field, but likely has less value. Cave poses an interesting scenario that I wouldn't hesitate to part with, but likely doesn't have a lot of value either. I'm completely comfortable with Kepler filling in at CF in the short term, but a prolonged Buxton injury may be an issue. If Kepler is dealt, this conversation gets much more complicated.

    If he is to come back this season at all, a bullpen role is the only thing that really makes sense. He's not going to be built up enough to start. And if he's effective, he could be a very valuable piece in the bullpen down the stretch and in the post season.

    When satire meets real life!

    Well deserved congratulations for both! Hopefully the first of many! Enjoy the game!

    Pujols tied some guy named Musial today for 3rd all time extra base hits.

    Something would have to change in Cleveland and Chicago too I order for that to happen. Not saying it can't happen, but it really hasn't happened yet.

    Have you seen the rest of said division?

    This is the way...

    Error, HR. I like it. As long as the twins don't repeat that on the defensive side...

    Ish!
  11. wsnydes
    Fielding error on the first play of the game is a nice start.
  12. wsnydes
    Don't blame you there. I wouldn't either. I'm heading to the North Shore this weekend. Highs in the low 70s. I'll take that any day.

    For what it's worth, the temp is 84 with a dew point of 64 currently in Mpls. Not my idea of comfortable! @Vanimal46, hard to miss Texas with weather like this?

    Well done! Keep 'em comin'!

    Despite all craziness over the last month or so, this team finds itself in 1st place and gaining a bit of ground. Cleveland seems to be regressing and Chicago can't get out of their own way. Looking forward to this last sprint to the AS break.

    He may be a top 3 player now, but what about down the road? That's where I'm looking. I think Lewis will be the better player overall. Which is why I chose him over Arraez. And half of the position player roster are corner types where none are demonstrably better than the other aside from Kirilloff. You can maybe make a case for Larnach too, but I'm not going to yet. You can't say that about Arraez. Arraez's best positions are manned by guys that aren't going to be unseated. Polanco is a better all around player, in my opinion, so he's not going anywhere. Urshela is a much better glove and will be the every day 3B. While Arraez is capable at 1B, that won't be his long term home.

    Won't disagree with any of that, that's just not who I'd prioritize to build around. To each their own. That's why this is a good talker.
  18. wsnydes
    Not one that doesn't have a position in the field and isn't a great defender anyway. Sure, he can DH, but I don't really want to build a team around a DH.
  19. wsnydes
    He's certainly less risky, I wasn't arguing anything differently. But he's had his fair share of injury shortened seasons as well. He's not without risk though.
  20. wsnydes
    Correa has only played more than 110 games twice in his career. If you're worried about injury, he's not exactly the poster child of health either.
  21. wsnydes
    I would. I think Lewis can be that level of a game changer. I like Arraez quite a bit, but I don't think you can build a team around him.
  22. wsnydes
    And can Pagan stay lost in Fort Smith?
  23. wsnydes
    Leave it to the bullpen to ruin a perfectly good spread. I guess it's true when they say they ruin everything.
  24. wsnydes
    I'd go Buxton, Kirilloff, Ryan and Duran if we're needing to include a reliever. Without any sort of "requirements", I'd swap Lewis for Duran.
  25. wsnydes
    I forgot about Garlick...which probably tells me something... And as @Squirrelsaid, it's probably the most reasonable. Also the most prudent. It's perhaps a bit unfair to base a decision like that on just a rehab stint. You just have to hope that he doesn't hurt the team too much in the process.
