    Even if he was perfectly healthy, it would be hard to ask him to go 200 innings when he hasn't thrown more than 60 in 5 years. 20 starts is probably about all you could ask.
  2. Abomination
    Or maybe that'll have to wait.
  3. Abomination
    It'll be interesting to see Jeffress in the 9th. He was putting up big numbers in AAA.
  4. Abomination
    Lind is going to see nothing but lefties late in games the rest of the season with the expanded rosters.
  5. Abomination
    Man that was a short swing by Eddie. Very pretty.

    Unbelievable that fangraphs has Lawrie rated as a negative defender this year.
  7. Abomination
    lol, I was just looking at that
  8. Abomination
    Yup, 0.6 WAR when he went down http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2013&month=4&season1=2013&ind=0&team=14&rost=&age=0&filter=&players=

    If Miley wasn't awake before, he is now.
  10. Abomination
    Edwin the lethal weapon strikes again. He's really gotta stop doing that.
  11. Abomination
    Lawrie and Rasmus are a 2nd baseman's worst nightmare.
  12. Abomination
    Great approaches so far
  13. Abomination
    That is an incredibly cringe-worth lineup.
  14. Abomination
    I think word was that he has a problem with his knees, and it's not treatable. My suspicion is that he's overcompensating with his arm, and that's causing him to lose command.
  15. Abomination
    I'm not sure where to get wRC+ for minor league splits, but I find this interesting: (numbers from 2010->2013, vs righties / lefties) 2010: .285, .346, .385 / .217, .296, .261 2011: .290, .338, .424 / .266, .346, .351 2012: .299, .349, .412 / .265, .326, .381 2013: .287, .342, .399 / .205, .237, .295 Goins numbers vs righties during the last 4 years are incredibly consistent. Maybe he'll hit lefties well enough, maybe he won't, but his bat would appear to be a legit play vs righties. Maybe you play Izzy vs lefties and end up with an effective platoon at a decent price.
  16. Abomination
    I think most of us expect him to bomb, but he's untradeable right now so we might as well hope for a miracle. Not like these remaining games really mean a lot for us anyway.
  17. Abomination
    He doesn't have options left. He'll be on this team next year, but whether it's as a starter, long man, or regular reliever who knows. If we do in fact decide to fill that 5th starter spot from within and Dustin is healthy coming out of spring, why not give it to him. If he goes down you call up someone else (Stroman, Drabek, etc). We should have decent depth next year. It's very important to get a high end arm for the top of the rotation if we do this however.
  18. Abomination
    I don't think anyone (or almost anyone) is saying anything about him deserving to be here next year based on his bat in the first 9 games. They're saying he deserves to be considered based on his glove if we can't get a clear upgrade to Izzy (to what Izzy should be doing) in the off-season, and are hoping he can hit enough not to be a liability (perhaps in the 80 to 85 wRC+ range, with the major league average this year for 2nd baseman 90). Really, his only issue this year in AAA was poor results against lefties, and he handled them okay in 2012 and 2011 so there's some hope there. If worse comes to worse, play Izzy against lefties and Goins against righties. As for age, I don't care one little bit if he's 25. I care only about whether he can help the team or not. With all that said, I want a clear upgrade at 2nd with Goins starting the season in the minors.
  19. Abomination
    I really have no issue going with a glove first guy at second, as long as we address starting pitching and catcher. If we don't, we had better get someone at 2nd who can also hit.
  20. Abomination
    Very nice play there by Campana
  21. Abomination
    It's a VERY good thing. Guys with his stuff shouldn't be trying to nibble or paint the black anyway imo.
  22. Abomination
    Could always do something like a significant bonus for getting the first home run correct, or perhaps all home runs after the first are only worth 1 point. The nice thing is that you still have something extra to cheer for throughout the season rather than someone hitting one in the first and you're done.
  23. Abomination
    I like how Goins charges the ball and doesn't sit back risking a bad hop.
  24. Abomination
    And no Lind or JPA today also really leaves too little power lol.
  25. Abomination
    The problem is, who is this available upgrade (assuming we can't realistically afford Cano)? Infante is really the only other name that sticks out to me from the free agent list. Maybe Ellis or Punto, but I'm not sure either would out perform what would be reasonable to expect from Izzy (ie, not what he's done this year). The trade front isn't wonderful either unless the Rays decided to promote Beckham or Hak-Ju Lee and trade Zobrist. Howie Kendrick perhaps would also be in play. Aside from that, you're basically looking at either Ackley or Espinoza.
