  1. I'd let it play out before I'd consider it. He's been pretty bad for the last year +, so I would want to see it for more than a couple of games. I also wouldn't sign him and Adrianza. They seem fairly redundant defensively.
  2. This has gotta be it for Belisle, right?
  3. Form of ... career minor leaguers that just haven't "gotten a chance yet."
  4. Good point. Asian guys like Albert Pujols always seem to break down once they hit 35.
  5. So, who guessed Oliver Drake and Johnny Field? In hindsight, it was the obvious moves for them to make.
  6. Wild card time ... Nick Burdi. Nearing the end of his rehab assignment and Pittsburgh's still in it. Can they afford to hide him when they're still technically in it? (One can dream, right?) Barring that, I'd like to see Reed and Stewart get a shot.
  7. A few people around here seem to be more concerned over where these guys are rated, rather than the results they're putting up on the field this year. So, if the scouting reports and 2018 stats aren't enough to ease your hurt feelings, Baseball America apparently moved Duran into the D-Backs Top-10 list on their most recent update. Rankings mean nothing compared to on-field production. Let us never forget that Baseball Prospectus in 2012 rated Robbie Grossman as the #76 prospect in baseball.
  8. The risk is overpaying to keep the status quo, which clearly isn't working, intact. Overpaying for Dozier (my guess as to which one would get it if only one were to) would give "well, we paid Brian, now we need the young guys to step up more" excuse to fall back on. Enough "bad signings" (Morrison, Lynn, the hypothetical overpaying of Dozier/Escobar) and the purse strings will tighten back up if there's no on-field results.
  9. $17+ million annually - even on a 1-year contract - for either of these guys would be a huge risk.
  10. I see virtually no chance Mauer signs off on a trade, so might as well just take it off the imaginary table.
  11. Legit injury to Slegers or not, how is Belisle still employed? Wishful thinking that they just don't want to call up a bullpen arm for 1 game before several days off?
  12. Jake plays the role of good teammate by making Eddie feel better about his awful throw.
  13. 4 of their probably Top-10 prospects for 2 years of control on a catcher? Sano for an unproven bullpen arm with questionable control? Also, as much as I'd love Machado, $200 million over 8 years isn't going to get the job done.
  14. I'm actually equal parts shocked and confused as to why Lewis is still in Cedar Rapids. It feels like every time I look at a box score he's doing something positive. Is his defense such a work-in-progress that it outweighs his bat? The time seems like it would be perfect, as would anyone really mind if Brandon Lopez didn't get any more run?
  15. It's just nice to see that anemic hitting, at least at the lower levels, isn't caused simply by collecting a paycheck from the Twins. Seeing some of these young guys perform gives me hope for the future ... even though I think we had that same hope when the current batch of MLBers was on the rise.
  16. I know the WNBA allows sponsors on the jerseys, MLS might, too. Any chance Chico's Bail Bonds would like to slap their name on this band of ragtag scamps? Perhaps the money could go toward paying the rest of Lomo's contract and they wouldn't feel the need to hang on any longer.
  17. I think you've forgotten about how they excel at making other teams feel really good about themselves. So, I mean, they might be a really bad baseball team, but they're contributing to the mental well-being of their opponents. You can't put a value on the happiness of others.
  18. C'mon, I mean, sure, B-Wil was 4 for June, but he also had a 6-6 K-BB rate. #littlemiracles
  19. I mean, technically he's still igniting ...
  20. Does Bote automatically get demoted for striking out to Belisle or how does that work?
  21. More important for Molitor to show he knows what a double switch is.
  22. Belisle's coming in ... how many of these inherited runners score?
  23. This certainly spiraled out of control quickly.
