    That's been a concern, yes. Difficult surgery plus it's always a worry when you're messing with a hitters wrist. Welcome to TD!

    Barring a blockbuster type trade, the only one on this list that I see actually being dealt this off-season is Kepler. Beyond that, it's more subtraction by addition and I don't know what scenario that makes sense in. With the logjam of corner types, they need to see who actually performs before jettisoning any of those guys. That seems better suited for a deadline deal, not the offseason. Trading pitching on this team makes no sense unless they're bringing an equal replacement or upgrade back. Gordon is one of those weird types of player that has no real trade value, but is one of those players that every good team needs. At best , he's an add in for a team.

    A staff full of Ryan's is a much different scared, that is true. I still don't see them stacking up against a legitimate playoff team's staff. That's always my issue. They may do fine in the regular season, but when other teams are throwing a legit ace at you every other game with a top end #2 in between, that's not a recipe for success. I know that's a tough ask, but that's the state of the game if you want to win come October.

    Ha! I misread his post! Time for a nap...

    The move certainly improves the off-season outlook and the roster, but I still think they've got work to do. And the off-season isn't over yet, so there is still time to do things push the team to another level. But they need to be healthier and have some young guys step up. The pitching still scares me. But in all fairness, I'll probably say that with a staff full of Nolan Ryan's, so take that for what you will.

    So, @ashbury, are you legitimately sad that the sad emoji might go away? ? I like the thumbs up/thumbs down idea as well. yikes and haha seem to be the logical emojis to replace since they are the most often used as a means of trolling.

    Now I expect LaMarre to yell "Now go do that voodoo that you do" before the team runs out onto the field at the start of every game.

    My worries have miraculously vanished! ?

    Correa, don't let the door hit you on the w...HEY, WE LEFT YOUR LOCKER JUST HOW YOU LEFT IT!

    Just as I expected all along! Assuming he passes this physical, of course.

    That's what I was thinking as well. Take the weakest pitches out of the equation and boost usage on the two best and see what happens. Not a bad plan.

    Legal problems or not, he's never shown to be a good teammate. That's simply not in his DNA apparently. With an extended time away from playing, we have no real idea of what they'd be getting as a player either. For all of the clamoring for a leader in this team, signing Bauer would be going in the opposite direction.

    I'm still optimistic that he'll put it together offensively, but I'm not sure where his home defensively will be. Hopefully he is healthy again and the swing changes are starting to show and this will all seem silly. Got a ways to go though.

    Or sometimes not at all!

    The visual I have in my head as the spreadsheet opens and the speakers start howling is very similar to the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark (***spoilers ahead***) where they open the ark and everyone's face melts.

    Michael Corleone summed up my thoughts on this pretty succinctly; "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"

    As someone that used to attend 30 some odd games a season, I can appreciate the level of commitment, time and money associated with attending that many games. Thanks for the awesome article to close out the year!
  18. wsnydes
    That's some commitment. That level of commitment should require a contract or something! I hope he got frequent buyer discounts on hot dogs and beers.

    Without really trying to disagree with you, at some point success has to be on the individual player. They are the one in the box. They are the ones trying to determine what a pitcher is trying to do to them. They need to read the pitch and then decide to swing or not. And in the case of Sano, with the amount of pitches he didn't make contact with INSIDE the zone, there's something else going on there that's likely beyond coaching and engrained in his approach and/or ability. And then there's also the fact that some players will respond better or worse to a given coach's message. Personally, I think the overall brutality of the offensive output is a much larger indicator of coaching than any individual performance does.

    That's what you get for trying to do your job!
