Looks like a perfect structure to me, f*** the AL Central.

 

They’re also going to be implementing a more balanced schedule soon, aren’t they? So we won’t have one good central team getting one of the top two spots simply because they got to beat up on four crappy teams.

Jeeze, that's kinda radical... Winning a division is usually the gold standard but now if you simply have a lesser record than the other 2 division winners you have to play an extra series?

 

I'm not sure if I like that... Seems kinda screwball

 

It’s good for us. It’s hard to win the AL east. Now there’s the consolation prize of a home wild card series instead of just one game.

Will be even better with a balanced schedule next season.

If Kirk continues with this type of hitting, I don't see why we would trade him.

 

Moreno is a top catching prospect but I think we would be happy if he hit as well as Kirk.

 

But we already have Kirk, so Moreno could potentially be the trade bait.

Okay, so here's I suppose a better question: is the current Vladdy the Vladdy we should expect the rest of the season and majority of his career?

 

He might be raking but this has been a shadow of what he was last year, especially in clutch situations.

You guys might think otherwise but Vlad is the LAST person (outside of Tapia/Zimmer) you'd want with RISP at the plate in this lineup.

More importantly, if this is the year we are going for WS contention, then this Vlad is not the cornerstone superstar that'll get us there.

 

Last year was likely a career year, you'd have to be obtuse to think he can consistently do that throughout his career. And yes he can go on and destroy the league the rest of the way, he's that good. And this post just might be one of the worst I've read on here, in quite awhile. Check yourself man.

Wouldn't have made more sense to just get Romano in tomorrow's afternoon game with the off day Thursday? What if there's an actual save situation tomorrow? I guess he goes back to back? This is how those over usage situations start.

Just pointing out how dumb their logic and crying are. Vlad hasn't been nearly as good as last season, but it happens. Teams adjust. He is 23 and needed to adjust, but was off timing wise. He has adjusted and is getting his timing back. Crying every single AB when he has hit 4 HRs in 6 days is beyond stupid and annoying (which is why they are doing it)

 

Why do you always go after Bo, when you get upset? Serious question.

Romano has looked shaky after rest sometimes too.

Moreno is a lot more athletic than Kirk. Also, there are concerns about Kirk’s long term durability, for obvious reasons.

As I have said multiple times over the years. It annoys those who do the s*** with Vlad. 90% is just an act lol. If I have to read crap so do they :cool:

Kirk is under control until he’s 28. As long as you don’t extend him, I think it will be fine.

Agreed.. Although I'm not trading Kirk either. Ride him through his arb years and trade him in his last year or in the off season prior. He'll be around 27-28 at that point, perfect time to let him go before he starts breaking down physically. Jansen is who you trade.

I think when the time comes we could see Jansen get traded out of the 3

Ya if it comes to it, you trade Jansen and split Moreno/Kirk between C and DH.

 

Maybe even give Moreno some reps at 1B on days to get Vladdy days off but that's of course he's as good as advertised. You never want to get ahead of yourself until a player can prove he can play at the major league level.
