    Many are already on the 40. SP- I don't count Bello or Mata as wanting to trade, but... these, yes: Wink, Crawford, Seabold RP- Danish, Ort, Kelly, Bazardo I am certain someone would take Ceddanne Rafael, Frank German and Brandon Walter Other Rule 5 candidates: OF Wilyer Abreu (103 BBs in AA) P Wikelman Gonzalez (15th on soxprospects), Thaddeus Ward (17th on sp) U Eddison Paulino (10th ranked on soxprospects) Doubtful IF Bonaci, D Hamilton, C Koss OF G Jimenez C Cottam P V Santos, N Song, J Thompson, D Feltman

    It a traffic mess at many stadiums, and some of those have 25-40K going to the game.

    I've been to about 12 MLB stadiums. They all seemed nice to me, so maybe I'm easy. The 2nd worst stadium might still be nice, right? It seems to me, there are about 20 really nice stadiums, maybe 5-8 pretty nice and maybe 1-2 that are borderline nice. Tropicana is no Camden Yards, but it's not bad, IMO.
  4. moonslav59
    Maybe they trade 2 excess 5th starters wanna-be's for a 2Bman, DH/RF'er or established RP'er.
  5. moonslav59
    Not counting Casas, too. I could also see German added to your pitcher list. Position players: R Hernandez, especially if we add no catchers. Maybe Wilyer Abreu (OF) , a big OBP guy, too.

    I really don't understand why we can't get a great QB. It's like they don't want anything flashy. They tried to keep Joe Montana down, and if it wasn't for 2 injuries, he may never haver been given a real chance. He wasn't the typical Domer. He was actually supposed to live in the same hall I was in my Freshman year, and even in the same hallway, but he "secretly" lived off campus and was married. (I never saw him in my dorm, but I did see Orlando Woolridge and other players like Luther Bradley and Jerome Heavens.)
  7. moonslav59
    True. I think maybe 2 games, but he was on the varsity team, but did not win the starter job. That being said, Dan Devine had Joe Montana as the third string QO in 1977, my freshman year at ND.

    It just seems strange to me you want to bring Bogey back, but if he doesn't come back, 2B/SS is not a high need area, to you. I do think Sox brass will decides on going with what we have at maybe 2 of these positions, and maybe 2B is one of them: 2B: Arroyo/E Valdez (Story to SS) RF: Refsnyder/Dugo (Pham/Duran in LF) 1B: Casas/Hosmer (Dalbec/Cordero in AAA) C: McGuire/Wong (RHern/Cottam in AAA) DH: Pham/E Valdez/Hosmer/Dalbec/Cordero I'm not listing all the pitching options for 4 rotation slots (Pivetta at 3/4 slot) and RP.

    I guess the AP doesn't think ND's loss shows they were ranked too highly. New rankings: 1. AL (44 first place votes) 2. GA (17) 3. OH St (2) 4. MI 5. Clem 6. TX A&M 7. OK 8. ND 9. Baylor 10. USC (Blue= Teams ND plays, this year) We also play #21 BYU.

    Well, you were sitting right next to the driver on the front seat. I've always liked Arroyo, except for the injuries, and I don't think we can or should count on him for even 130 games at 2B, next year. I'm also high on Enmanuel Valdez who has like 55 Hrs over the past 2 years and an OPS over .940, this year at AA/AAA, but his defense is suspect, and I would not want to see us go with that combo, all year. Now, if it comes down to us only having enough funds for another pitcher or 2B/SS, I'm on the side of pitching, but I still see 2B/SS as a high need area. Losing Bogey and not adding anyone will need a lot of "making up" to do elsewhere to just balance that out.

    Rarely, they do show a view with the CF in the frame, when the ball is hit. So, rarely you can get an idea of how quickly he breaks to the ball, but yes, it's basically all live observation and Flg% vs metrics.
  12. moonslav59
    And Minnesota's stadium looked better on TV? Remember the baggie? I thought the Tampa stadium was nice, especially on a hot day.
  13. moonslav59
    For a long time ND forbade Freshman from playing, so some of their career total rankings need some context.
  14. moonslav59
    So, one time? It was to make room on the 40 for someone else, I assume, since he did have options, left.
  15. moonslav59
    Aren't you the wagoneer of the "Arroyo to the IL" Club? Who plays SS or 2B? Enmanuel Valdez?
  16. moonslav59
    How many people bashing the stadium have been there? What happened to "the eye test?"
  17. moonslav59
    I feel the same way. I went to a game there a while back, and thought the place was pretty nice. I guess the problem is with people who drive from Tampa are crowded onto one highway, but it's not like TBR have the only traffic issues on game days.
  18. moonslav59
    The "if they wanted" is the key. They also just traded away the heart and soul of their team at the deadline, while in the middle of their first playoff race in several years.
  19. moonslav59
    They would suck in 2023, if they spent $200M. Their farm does not have 6 ML ready players to supplement the $200M spent. That was my point. Their whole system sucks. They have a good farm, because the draft near first every year. They don't use it, like the Rays did.
  20. moonslav59
    Bleacher Report has Brady Quinn ('03-'06) was the only QB from this century to make the top 10 ND QB list. The one before him was Tony Rice ('87-'89): 1989 was the last ND championship. Rick Mirer wasn't bad and came after Rice. Honorable mentions: Powlus no Book
  21. moonslav59
    So, we filled one big need- CF. These are what I see as our biggest needs, now: 1. SP (Solid 1/2 type Wacha QO?) 2. 2B/SS 3. Closer or top set-up man 4. SP (solid 3 type -Nate QO?) 5. RF/DH 6. RP (set-up) or 2 RPs (depth)
  22. moonslav59
    Not much to talk up about the farm, tonight. We got swept 3 games to nil.
  23. moonslav59
    For the first time ever: I was speechless.
  24. moonslav59
    Wow! Two HRs with a man on base. Has that happened in the last month?
