    Great, now I want endless supplies of fried chicken and chocolate pudding! (Searches for car keys...)

    Only if you're on your way to get a Big Mac?
  3. wsnydes
    Maybe? I am in the worst shape of my life...

    On paper this might be the case. The key will be staying healthy though. If they keep up the injury pace that they've had the last two seasons, it's awfully hard to have consistency both individually and as a team.

    Is adding a satire disclaimer at the head of a satirical article like a double negative thus making the article serious?

    I think starving oneself is the preferred option here. On multiple levels.
  7. wsnydes
    No.

    I wish I would have read this comment about 13 years ago. Potentially life altering advice right here!

    I'm one that thinks bringing in another bullpen arm, particularly a veteran one, is a good idea. I'm not convinced it'll happen, but I'd like to see it happen. I'm fine with allowing room for some young arms to come up and contribute, but make them earn it and force the team to make a decision.

    I like the idea of letting him hit for average and run like crazy on the bases and play him at 2B. Dealing Polanco makes quite a bit of sense to me, but I want to see that they've got someone waiting in the wings. It would be so much fun watching Buxton and Martin running at will on opposing pitchers.

    I actually played some traveling summer ball with Dave's son. He was a few years behind me, but was already a pretty good player and pitcher. I aged out, so I don't know much about what he did after that, but I had a couple of opportunities to talk to Dave. Nice guy, approachable and willing to chat a bit.

    HoF voters have a hard enough time with baseball, why complicate things with music? 😁 I agree though. It would be cool to see both get in quickly.

    Surely there's another "Player X can NOT be traded" or Luis Arraez thread to be hashed over for another couple of weeks, no?! 😉
  14. wsnydes
    He's not even 29 yet! He could play until he's 45 and become a no doubt first ballot guy or blow out his "suspect" ankle tomorrow and never play again. Can we just enjoy his presence and talk about the end of his career later?
  15. wsnydes
    Not super surprised by this. He probably has more value at the trade deadline. I imagine that if a reasonable offer came around between now and Spring Training, or at any point in the offseason, it was/would be seriously considered.
  16. wsnydes
    Well, with the injury history of the rotation they've built, I can't say that I blame them on the last part! I suppose that it's just as plausible that they don't want to have to make a decision on such a thing before they have to and prefer to see how things pan out in Spring Training and making a decision at that point. I'm completely fine with that approach. No reason to create a firestorm (from either side of the coin) if one doesn't need to be made.
  17. wsnydes
    Have they ruled this out? I don't recall seeing anything one way or the other.
  18. wsnydes
    Agreed. Ober's stuff seems like it would play better as a rotation guy. Winder is basically the opposite.
  19. wsnydes
    I'm surprised and not at all surprised by this all at the same time. Given the fact that they have multiple rotation guys coming back from injury, it stands to reason that they could move at least one of those to the pen. Same with a couple of the prospects. I'd still rather they bring in at least one more solid reliever. All that said, you can never have enough pitching.

    I think Ryan's struggles against good teams is his youth showing. Good teams will make you work much harder than a lesser lineup. Also, having not looked up the timing of the outings against better teams, what effect did his covid stint play into those numbers? I agree completely with the remainder of the list. Though, I think Kirilloff and Larnach are pretty important. Maybe more important that Alcala even. That might be splitting hairs though.
  21. wsnydes
    No, that's fair. I haven't either, frankly. We weren't going to get that in this article though.
  22. wsnydes
    I'm not a huge stathead, but I do reference B-Ref quite a bit if I'm looking something up. I do think I need to use Fangraphs more than I do though.
  23. wsnydes
    The article was about the youth of the organization. Buxton is 29, so not really in that conversation anymore. That said, no mention of Lewis either. I still think he's extremely important to the organization's future, either on the roster and healthy or by being trade bait for a key upgrade.
  24. wsnydes
    I think Larnach and Kirilloff are pretty important to the long term potential of this club. Seeing them both have a full and at least mostly healthy season would be huge for them and the club.

    I think the Correa saga energized the FO more than many appreciate. I didn't think they were done before the signing, but I think they were pretty rudderless at that point. Once Correa was signed, that gave them more of a compass in which to direct the remaining offseason. I don't think they're done yet either. They do appear to see that the division is still very weak and ripe for the taking and they are making moves accordingly. If the roster can stay healthier, that will go a long way towards being competitive in the division. I don't think they're much of a threat outside of it one way or another though. Sports front offices have a lot more patience than fans, as they should. It often comes across as not wanting to let go and admit a mistake (though there are definitely times when it's exactly that), but they're usually going to be patient enough to let a guy try to work through things. That's hard to sell to fans.
