Well, it hurts competitively short term but it doesn’t hinder it long term…
-
Agreed. I get he will see something in some prospects that I - as a non-scout - won’t. But really so far his trades outside of Pivetta have not yielded much pitching help for now or in the future. Even the supplemental bullpen arms in 2021 were temperamental at best. Although I think the jury is still out on Winckowski…
-
I think you missed his point…
-
I do wish they’d just signed a short term shortstop instead of moving Kike. But then very likely no Duvall, and the early returns on Duvall are worth it so far…
-
Houck is probably tradable. He’s a good RP, but Winckowski is looking good in that role so far. And many think Mata could excel in that role, too…
-
Even longer if you never draft any…
-
He knows how to get them; he just doesn’t commit to them. This could be part of an overall philosophy that starting pitching is a bad way to build a team. While contrary to what we all grew up with, it also certainly has become a methodology that has shown to have massive flaws, especially when done “the easy way,” i.e. using free agency. If they win with a substandard rotation, I don’t care. But I do if they lose with one…

Who determines if you have a chance for an “extraordinary career”? Or, for that matter, who defines it?
-
Why? Over 99% of all Division I athletes find careers in something other than sports. The purpose of college athletics isn’t to populate professional leagues…
-
Absolutely was. The Rule 5 draft is older than the American League. Christy Mathewson was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the Rule 5 draft in 1900. His rights were then traded to the Giants for fellow Hall of Famer Amos Rusie…

Al Bumbry, Garry Maddox, and Jim Bibby all served in Vietnam during their minor league careers…
-
If the military academy athletic programs suffer, I don’t see this as a big deal…
-
I suppose Kelly could take Ort’s seat on the Worcester bus…
-
Brasier isn’t going anywhere for a while. And if they can get a bullpen where he is the 7th or 8th best option and is limited to mostly mop up work, that’s not a bad thing…
-
They’re going to keep everyone they can and not deplete depth this early. The players with an option left are most likely demoted…
-
Why is that unfortunate?9
-
Still riskier than pitching without being properly warmed up…
-
They will probably Crawford and Ort to Worcester along with Bello (at least for now )…
-
I think they could open up the time for runners on base to allow more pickoff attempts. But I don’t get limiting the number of the pitcher still only has 15 seconds to throw a pitch…
-
If Springs did strike out 384 batters, he would set the post-1900 record by one strikeout. It makes Nolan Ryan’s 383 strikeouts in 1973 all that much more impress. Ditto Koufax’ 382 K’s in 1965…
-
He probably had to focus on learning to fly a plane, which is one activity that, if you do it wrong, can cause problems far more severe than a lower back strain…
-
I will assume the Navy was more concerned with abilities other than his pitching. Silly Navy…
-
I think the momentum so far has lived and died on this forum…
-
If Song stayed with Boston, his entire timetable would have been different. He was far, far more likely to get hurt ramping up for MLB this year…

Too busy learning to write pressure-laden articles in Japanese?
