I dunno. I am sitting here and fretting about the inevitable roster crunch where we have too many good pitchers and not enough spots. I can't remember the last time we had that luxury. Usually, we are picking guys off the garbage heap to fill spots.
-
Besides being baseless speculation, you are engaging in what my grandmother used to call "borrowing trouble."

Theo did a much better job in the same regime than Ben did. So, no, I don't get what one had to do with the other. Theo was a far better GM.
-
So, you are worried that he has a mental deficiency that might render him less than adequate at 1B. Others are worried that maybe he lacks the work ethic. No one knows which if either it might be, but apparently both have noticed behaviors that are concerning. You say that those who think he isn't trying are engaging in character assassination, but you seem to be wondering whether he is just an airhead (aka a dummy). Neither characterization is flattering, so you shouldn't be throwing stones.

What does Theo have to do with Ben?
-
You criticized him for his lack of his ability to stay engaged enough in the game to play 1B. That is pretty similar to the criticisms of his work ethic.
-
As the GM he was an incompetent if he wasn't the one doing the persuading of the hjgher ups.
-
Tell him that he was an idiot for taking a sledge hammer to a competent starting rotation.

If by traditionalist you mean that I like Classic Coca Cola, I would have to plead guilty. Other than that, nothing about my thought patterns is traditionalist.

I do whine about Democrats, and i do hate them more than the Republicans who I have come to despise as well. Unfortunately, we have a 2 party system, and they are both corrupt and do not respect the will of the people. Politics sickens me these days. As for the jackass thing, neither of us is a jackass all of the time .

I have a few years to go before being elderly. I am 10 years away from drawing Social Security. I have come to hate Republicans as much as I despise the Democrats, because they are just the other side of a corrupt coin. So, you are wrong there too. And I don't know what old timey means -- that I like Coke Classic? Do you see what happens? Your boxes are empty, and you have no idea what I am going to think on any given topic except for those which I am already on the record. Just read what I write as if you wrote it instead of with a preconceived filter and you will better understand what I am saying. I have made great efforts to read your posts without the "jackass" filter that I had been using and that works better.

I find CP's sarcasm to be humorous commentary. Lighten up U.N.

I have been telling you for years that I am too complex to be put in a box and characterized. I think independently, and the only philosophy that I have is finding ways to improve the team. I am neither a stathead nor a traditionalist, neither for or against youth or veterans. I am just a knowledgeable fan who has opinions about what it takes to produce a competitive team. On the internet, people like to label people as one thing or another to help them understand their posts, but the preconceived notion just confounds the comprehension.

I don't know if it is a desperation move, but rather a situation that Shaw has forced with his hot bat. I view it as a luxury if Shaw can play 3B and continue his hot hitting.
-
He seems to be handling the position with proficiency this Spring, and he is not replacing Brooks Robinson at 3B. If he blows up, Sandoval is waiting in the wings with his replacement level glove or Holt if Sandoval gets injured.
-
According to Shaw, his natural position was 3B. He has been converted to 1B.
-
Hanigan could bring back a nice bullpen arm, imo.
-
Pablo was never that good. The upside of hoping for a bounce back season is just not worth it.
-
Shaw is just bigger and stronger.
-
I don't think Pablo ever had Shaw's power.
-
In return for ...?
-
CT is 2 Hours behind EDT.
-
That's funny, because no one seems very concerned about it and I am pretty sure that we can all count to 25 despite not being math majors.
-
Let me clarify my remark. Maybe it will motivate him to lose weight.
-
This isn't going to help Pablo's case to be the starter. He dove once and came up lame.
