“We’re at the point now where our position player talent is very, very strong, and it would be hard to really upgrade,” - Ross Atkins, less than a year ago
-
Everything I've heard from Mark Shapiro makes me think he understands what it takes to build a healthy MLB team, and there's a large body of evidence of that in Cleveland. He's also a good communicator. I trust him in the role of President. At this point, our faith in Shatkins is really just faith in Mark Shapiro and his opinion of Atkins, because the Atkin's track record to this point is not impressive, and we're going on 4 years. I'd be pretty disappointed if Shapiro were fired, but if Shapiro decided to fire Atkins, I wouldn't be the least bit disappointed. I don't even know what the dynamic between the two is though. If Atkins loses 105 games with no development from the MLB roster, would his job be in jeopardy? Or is Atkins Shapiro's guy for better or worse, and completely safe in his position regardless of his performance?
-
I wonder at what point we're going to see a public acknowledgement from Atkins or Shapiro that this is unacceptable and that the front office has to be better. If the team continues to collectively hit like Ryan Goins and loses 100+ games, they won't be able to keep pretending like this is part of the process and everything is going to plan. I get that this is a rebuild, but this is embarrassing and decidedly NOT what the plan was.

29 of 30 owners have used fantrax in the last week.

It gets dark when you look in more detail. Smoak, Galvis, and Sogard have been worth 2.2 fWAR, so everyone else on the roster has combined for -2.5 fWAR. After those three vets, our most valuable position player is Gurriel at 0.3 fWAR, and our second second most valuable, at 0.1, is... Trent Thornton. This season has been an unadulterated disaster.
-
We are now dead last in position player fWAR at -0.3. Somehow worse than the Marlins and Orioles.

I want to trade for a couple of bullpen arms. Dangling the following: Jose Suarez Sandy Alcantara Jorge Mateo Cal Mitchell Mitch White Drew Waters Luis Garcia Pick 16 Pick 36

I've been waiting for this. I don't know why Boxy would talk s*** given that your team is good and his is terrible.
-
Jim didn’t participate in the dispersal draft. He took over a bad BORED team and now he has a good team and strong farm. IMO he’s one of the best fantasy owners on the forum.
-
This game has DFA written all over it. I'll be shocked if we see Jackson again.
-
Maybe leave the MAGA hat at home and try again?
-
Joey Gallo looks like an absolute trainwreck in CF tonight.
-
Fair. There actually have been a decent number of good new posters lately.
-
I mean, he was either being disingenuous, or vociferously defending a position while not actually knowing the details of what he was talking about. Either situation makes his input s***** for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the meme of this forum being in constant unanimous agreement and rejecting anyone with different ideas.
-
Spanky, did you start Edwin Jackson today?
-
Read my post above. It has nothing to do with baseball takes. The idea that everyone here agrees about baseball is f***ing absurd.
-
I'm not even talking about bad baseball takes. I'm talking about stupid disingenuous s*** like posting about how metafour prefers Merryweather to Flaherty and Bader because he defended the Donaldson trade. Someone like that is a s***** poster, and it has nothing to do with any kind of hive mind or old boys club.
-
Read through mikepelfrey's posts. Now, on a forum where people bicker incessantly, do you think people might take an issue with him for having a different opinion, or for being a f***ing moron?
-
Identifying yourself with Jays gear, or too ashamed?
-
I think the Jays subreddit and facebook pages might be more up your alley.
-
Pretending that metafour said he prefers Merryweather to Flaherty and Bader makes you sound stupid instead of having whatever effect you’re intending.
-
It's probably time to spend a bit of money in the offseason. And they'll have a boatload of prospects to trade for an arm. If they trade for one arm, and sign a couple others they could roster a pretty good rotation. Free agents this offseason: Bumgarner, Cole, Gibson, Hill, Porcello, Ryu, Strasburg, Keuchel, Wheeler, Wood. Signing/Trade Signing/Trade Shoemaker Thornton Pearson Borucki/Murphy/SRF/Gaviglio Even if the team trades Stroman, the rotation only has to be a problem if the team tucks dick and acts like a mickey mouse organization this offseason.

He denied choking her and was never charged because there was no evidence of physical abuse. And no, I don’t consider firing a gun alone in a garage to be beating someone.
-
Is Dubas more likely to package him up with a pick, or take another bad contract back?
-
We’ve seen comparable arms to Giles moves for elite hitting prospects. I’d be disappointed to have to settle for an arm when the market suggests that top-20 bats should be in play. I get that the rotation is a huge need, but I’d rather address it another way.
