  1. 1-The idea that the budget doesn't matter is a non-starter. It does. 2-Does anyone not think that this team is far better with our current defense than it was last year?
  2. You should be looking for the biggest marginal gain, not just the best hitter.
  3. IMHO, there is a world of difference between having a 3rd string catcher that doesn't catch or hit, and having a DH/1B that owns a catching glove.
  4. If one were to believe in conspiracies, maybe the RS planned on an IL stint, which is why they demoted Gaspar.
  5. This is the primary reason I agreed with you on keeping Duran. He's more than just a backup, he's a starter. I know some disagree, but Duran has been pretty valuable as Anthony's replacement in LF, even with his down year. That's a heck of a lot more valuable than having JJ or even Yoshida. Guys like KC (as of today) are more for the 2-week IL visits.
  6. I'm not sure what the mistake is. We are 8th in OPS, and 4th in ERA.
  7. I think it started with this: Would the offense be okay with Anthony, Story and Mead? My point being that we are already 'okay', and then some.
  8. I still remember Manny and the Indians dancing and laughing in the dugout, until they saw Pedro coming out of the BP. "I will never forget the look on their faces. All eight of them. Their faces dropped. All their courage and strength was drained right from their bodies"
  9. Story made a nice reaction play on out #2. He is supposed to get it, but that play was no lock.
  10. Story annoys me on several levels, but I felt good for him tonight. Even beyond a big win, I'm happy to see something go right for him. And I think he felt the same way; seemed to be relishing the moment.
  11. For a guy that can't play 1st, he looked okay. I'd obviously prefer Contreras, but Gaspar did okay.
  12. IMVHO, if we can skip Gray, we can skip Suarez. At this point, we'd have to play really bad to not make the playoffs, or play really well to catch the NYY. I'd probably skip one start for our top 3-4 SPs.
  13. I'd bet on a top-10 offense and wouldn't think twice about it. I'd bet on a .700+ from the top 8 hitters, and Story has a decent shot at a .700 as well.
  14. Romy has a stronger major history and the quality of the ABs count more than the OPS. Most of KC's stats derive from one game. If you want to exclude yesterday's game, then he has 1 HR and 27 Ks in 26 games. That won't hold up in the pros.
