  1. I was just trying to say there's room for everybody's opinion...maybe it didn't come across that way.
  2. And if Sale doesn't go back to pitching like an ace they're dead in the water anyway.
  3. Greinke
  4. Baseball management and economics aren't quite as rational as general business principles though.
  5. I still don't understand some of this waiver stuff. I'm befuddled about this Stanton thing, and I was puzzled years ago when Manny cleared waivers after the 2003 season.
  6. I think I am looking past the homerun tear. He has a career WAR of 34 already.
  7. Mookie's underperformance is the one thing I'm really surprised about. I still think he's due for a tear, but the clock is ticking.
  8. I agree, there's room for both. And there's a lot of stuff in baseball that will always be somewhat of a mystery. It just seems to be the nature of the game, and it has a lot to do with why baseball is the greatest game to talk about...you never run out of material.
  9. There's really no need to be aghast. We've basically been a middle-of-the-pack offense all year, with typical ups and downs.
  10. Nobody but the principals involved knows what went on behind the scene in 2011. When you have a collapse like that, especially in Boston, it's inevitable that fingers are going to be pointed.
  11. Abso-freaking-lutely.
  12. How does this fit in with your general belief that Farrell is the one to blame for the team's excessive number of mental mistakes?
  13. It's actually a little surprising that none of the super-rich teams would be willing to take on Stanton's salary if they didn't have to give up prospects as well. At this point in time he might almost be a bargain compared to, say, David Price's contract, or the projected contracts for Harper and Machado.
  14. My philosophy is much the same, though I tend to think of it in the same terms as that popular song from the hippie days: 'Love the one you're with.' The only real exception to that was Valentine, who was obviously batshit crazy almost from the outset.
  15. Tigers appeals were dealt with Friday and serving of suspensions began yesterday. But Sanchez and Romine not decided yet...surprise surprise.
  16. I believe they're easing him back into regular play.
  17. Yes, Gray has pitched well. Frankly I was thrilled that we got 4 runs off him.
  18. I have to agree. From what I've seen it's mostly dudes who dig them.
  19. There's a whole month left to evaluate Fister.
  20. With all the criticism of our coaching this year, it seems like it's been pretty good in the pitching area.
  21. You're right about the bad deals - but Verlander could turn out to be more of the same. There's a chance you get burned with any big salary you take on. It always seems like a good idea at the time.
  22. Right now we have Kimbrel, Reed and Workman all looking very strong. Kelly and Scott have been good. Barnes and Abad are a little scary but really not that bad on average. You can't really ask for too much more.
  23. I don't disagree, but let's see how Fister does over the remainder of the season.
  24. We'll see. Mookie was an 'Orioles killer' last year, but not this year.
