So this Derik Jetter guy they kept talking about, is he good? Do we have enough prospects to trade for him?
Cold weather still an issue in the midwest league?
Any chance we have any spare 5th starters still hanging out in EST?
Jim Jefferies, John Mulaney and Bill Burr are my favorites
They recalled Dayan Diaz again as the 26th man. Because it was an unscheduled doubleheader (less than 48hr notice) he's only available for the 2nd...
It's not even a "we messed up" situation. Santana needed a lot of low leverage ABs to come into his own and we weren't going to give him that....
On the scale of craps to give, i give this a one. It's farcical no doubt, but it moves the needle zero. It's just to get people on both sides hot...
Haha honestly its not a horrible list for 2005. Three guys are still playing 12 years later, two of which were multi-time all-stars with >$50m in...
Fisher's having a strong season, but dang the PCL has some video game numbers going on. The PCL has 21 guys with an OPS over .900. The Texas...
Someone with a lower pick (20's or later) is gonna roll the dice on his upside, because the talent is top 10 level, I hope the astros want no part...
There's not many extra OF plate appearances to go around either. George should be playing as much as possible. Josh should face all the righties...
Santana's been replacement level overall but a lot of the advanced stats are promising: ISO > .200 Cut his K% from 32.6% to 26.1% while...
No one is saying he's lidge or billy Wagner. No one. That's pure straw man. My guess is that he will close in the playoffs.
The corollary is that no position player is a no-doubt all-star. McCann has the best statistical argument, as he's hitting well for a catcher and...
There's one dominant bullpen option on this club and its Devo. They're absolutely using him in the best way possible right now. He got the crucial...
That Gomez/Fiers trade is the only one that really feels like it could hurt down the road. Santana seems like the kind of guy who will breakout...
If that's a "bad" start for Whitley, I'll take that. Great peripherals (6:1 K:BB), still went 5 innings. I've always liked Fangraphs K-BB% stat...
Heat check series like the Indians series.
I was thinking more along the lines of salaries of FO guys (do they have 1 stats guy or 10, 2 video guys or 12, etc), scouts (1 scout for 5 states...
The payroll will continue to rise organically with arb raises. Having Beltran's salary come off the books will help though. It'd be interesting...
