    I just think we'd be expecting too much from his back. He's 29, when defense slides anyway, and is coming off disc surgery. It's just really hard to see him being good enough out there to provide value with a league average bat and neutral baserunning.
  2. BTS
    I agree. He's a perfect 4th OF.
  3. BTS
    If you pencil him in as a +5 defender he can probably give you 1-1.5 wins. You can probably squeeze league-average play out of a Gose/Pillar platoon. Unless one of them gets hurt and/or sucks balls. I actually don't hate the idea if LF is more reliable than a Dirks/Mayberry/Pompey triumvirate.
  4. BTS
    Gose is going to be like 20-25% below average offensively in LF. I'm not sure hes good enough defensively to be a 1+ win player out there.
  5. BTS
    In no way am I happy about the prospect of Dirks being the team's best LF.
  6. BTS
    A healthy Dirks is probably the best LF on the team with Pompey in CF if he can still play defense. He's probably finished though.
  7. BTS
    So if Pompey is the starting CF, we have: RF - Bautista CF - Pompey LF - Dirks BN - Gose BN - Mayberry AAA - Pillar I dunno, that's pretty uninspiring to me. Pompey has huge risk, Dirks' back is f***ed up, and Mayberry sucks. I think they really need to bring in one more player with bankable production.
  8. BTS
    They never learn. Every time a player can feasibly be defended as a major league player, he makes the team instead of being held in AAA as quality depth.
  9. BTS
    I don't know anything about Tropeano. Is he a guy?
  10. BTS
    Over Thole? Absolutely.
  11. BTS
    That's valid. I think they're both replacement level, but with framing undervalued it's easier to significantly upgrade C than 2B. Should have acquired Conger.
  12. BTS
    IMO: 1. C 2. 2B 3. OF 4. bench 5. bullpen
  13. BTS
    AA is probably despairing them by offering Happ and wanting Kendrick's contract covered.
  14. BTS
    Is Dirks still capable of that level of play? League-average hitter with no platoon splits and no baserunning value. You have to assume he's still a good LF defender at 29 after disk surgery to pencil him in at 1+ WAR.
  15. BTS
    Four replacement-level starters, an awful bench, and weak bullpen isn't doing it for you?
  16. BTS
    I have no idea where you guys find the time.
  17. BTS
    I have no idea who those guys are.
  18. BTS
    There just isn't a whole lot out there. Assuming Sandoval and Hanley are too expensive, you have Lowrie, Cabrera, Drew, and Headley. IMO Cabrera is going to get a multi-year deal and is a decent bet to tank completely, and Drew really isn't bankable at all. Headley and Lowrie on ~3/40 deals are really the only attractive options.
  19. BTS
    They could roll with Greiss + Gustavsson/Enroth/Fasth next year and get the same value for like 1/3 of what they'll spend.
  20. BTS
    It makes sense to keep Pompey in AAA if they can. That way when someone goes down you have a proper backup. They really should add an OF though. Right now it's Bautista, and then a bunch of low-ceiling high-risk guys who might contribute if things go well. An Aoki would be great.

    What a stupid waste of money.
  23. BTS
    Dodgers have figured that throwing cash at the front office is the best way to spend.
  24. BTS
    Ugh, again: I'm not giving a cash reward to the winner.
  25. BTS
    Ewww. That's two pure DH's who just to maybe get a 110 wRC+ from the position.
