Any rebuilding team with a depleted bullpen want Neil Ramirez for a late pick? Guy was just demoted to manage is IP load, but has been lights-out this year and could close next year.
Guy has been in this thread for three pages trying to make his supposed friend feel bad about himself, and he's come at it from every angle he can think of. I wouldn't read much into anything he's saying.
Regardless of how upset you might be, trying to score cheap points by embarrassing the man on a public forum in front of people he's known for years is a low tactic. Airing perceived dirty laundry to hurt someone is pretty reprehensible.
You guys should both stop.
Since just before the season:
In:
Choo
Kendrick
Belt
Out:
Cobb
Ross
Salazar
I'm a bit worried about my rotation depth. That's a lot of arms to lose without acquiring one.
Still not really sure why people want to extend Lawrie. League average bats that draw a lot of their value from defense don't exactly clean up via arb/free agency. Combine that with his injury history and year-to-year seems to be the way to go.
The Romero extension was absolutely unnecessary at the time, and benefitted the team in no way whatsoever. Know one knew he would become a pumpkin, but that risk is exactly why you don't commit to a pitcher if you don't have to.
I haven't found it to be an issue, but I'm not really opposed either. I dunno, I kind of welcome teams only starting 2-3 guys against me. I'll take the free W and K wins.
