  1. I'd trade Sam Travis, Espinoza and two others for Sale. It'd be dumb not to.
  2. Nobody is reporting anything, but you wouldn't believe them anyway.
  3. @peteabe Vazquez back-picked a runner off first. Hanley snuck behind John Hicks to make the tag. High throw but the tag was made. BUT HE CAN ONLY GET GROUNDERS!!!!!
  4. Roenis Elias throws a knuckler???
  5. I think people have also decided that Hanley was going to suck at 1b before giving him a chance.
  6. They aren't saying "he gets ground balls." They are saying that he is picking balls in the dirt and isshowing good footwork around the bag.
  7. Reporters are still saying today that Ramirez has played better at 1b than they imagined and that he really turned the corner about 5 days ago. He is enjoying the comradery in the infield and that he want to earn everyone's trust that he'll get whatever is thrown to him. They also say he's been having great at bats recently. Jung, your response?
  8. Easier to turn on a BP fastball than an MLB fastball? Idk.
  9. I believe Hanley was injured and tried to play through it. I can't fault him for that. Farrell could have benched him at any point. I bet Farrell knew the issues Hanley was having.
  10. It's yours to change. Waiting on you...
  11. Too bad it's a proven point that Hanley's shoulder injury has NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM SUCKING AT THE PLATE LAST YEAR. HE JUST WASN"T TYRING!!!
  12. Do not invoke the beast!
  13. How was it overrated exactly? He was lights out in the post season and they won a WS. This post was simply comparing the postseason performance of Foulke, Paps and Koji. I don't think anyone was nominating him for the HOF.
  14. No, it seems really easy for some people to say he isn't trying no matter the amount of evidence showing that he is trying. He wanted to play 1b in winter ball. Sox said no. "Why isn't Hanley trying???" He is actively getting better at 1b (as noted by posters on this board who are at ST). Many people that are watching him day in and day out are saying this. "Why isn't Hanley trying???" Yes, he began ST using Napoli's old glove, the same glove he practiced with all last year. You want to know why this isn't a story any more? Because he has been using multiple gloves now! Just google images of Hanley playing 1b and you'll see a few different gloves. "Why isn't Hanley trying???"
  15. I believe Chris Young was brought in to do more than just platoon with JBJ. He's the fail safe for Castillo. I agree that at this point we can no longer say "he's been out of baseball for too long and is just getting his legs under him." It's time to take the training wheels off. I don't believe it will work out for Castillo here. Maybe he's moved midseason? Idk. I hope he proves me wrong though.
  16. So all the reports stating that Farrell has said he thinks Elias will get the nod are wrong? Ok. Every roster projection I have seen has Wright in the bullpen, not in the rotation.
  17. High fives and hugs. That's why we love him. The attitude and his success. Paps never had a fun loving attitude and always came across as douchey.
  18. No he's not. There's no evidence of this anywhere. AGon said that Hanley needs to be closer to the action to keep his focus. It makes more sense that his mind will wander when further away from the ball. This will undoubtedly help his concentration. I have no idea what you are talking about here. It just sounds like rambling to me. Sorry. Um, ok?
  19. Pandas are out this season. Nobody wants to be seen in that passe clothing. Put all your money towards Tessie.
  20. They are banging the drum for a late ST trade in these parts. Ramirez's agent was at JetBlue the other day. Many believe this either means that they are looking into trade opportunities for Hanley or maybe even just find any other zip code for Panda. I don't see why SD would make that move though.
  21. If your depth isn't reliable, it's not exactly impressive...
  22. You were more disappointed in the teams that lost in the last game of the ALCS than mediocre teams that either didn't make the playoffs or probably shouldn't have made the playoffs?
  23. They forced themselves to sign two 3bs last year when they only needed one. If they really believed they needed another SP, they would have used a few more minor league trading pieces to get one. DUMBrowski must believe the rotation has enough depth to compete.
  24. I think you mean Roenis Elias?
  25. Hanley will be fine. The problem is the current starting 3b and the inconsistency of the starting rotation (bigger problem than Pablo honestly).
