  1. You've never seen It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?
  2. Nobody spoke in absolutes. He asked for fantasy tips, and people told him that it would probably be Storen because reports had come out saying that it would probably be Storen.
  3. Poor Boxy. First Bird, then Smith, now Andrew Miller
  4. Is Osuna even tangibly better than Storen?
  5. Oakland thinks he's worse than Felix Doubront bruh
  6. The final decision obviously goes to Atkins, but the field manager absolutely has input on the 24th and 25th roster spots.

    NHL Thread

    Every time I think the NHL has reached rock bottom it breaks through that floor and hits another level. What an embarrassing mickey mouse league.
  8. Anyone have a link? This is the first I see of this.
  9. It would be absolutely shocking if the FO told Gibby that Pillar should lead off and Osuna should close. The only reasonable assumption is that Gibbons decided these. It would be mildly surprising if Gibbons requested Venditte and Ceciliani and had Tepera and Carrera forced on him. I don't think the FO would cross their manager by forcing him to carry inferior players to the ones he wanted. I do think that that FO should have overruled his preference for Tepera and Carrera.
  10. You don't believe that Gibbons chose his closer and leadoff hitter, or that he requested Carrera and Tepera for his bench?
  11. Rafael Soriano declined a QO from the Yanks a few years ago. Storen was never likely to get one, but 45 saves and a sub-3 ERA would have taken the probability to something greater than 0. Oh well, not a huge deal.
  12. When it comes to arb salaries for relievers the two biggest criteria are ERA and saves. Letting Storen get the saves this year and then leave via free agency would help keep Osuna's arb salary down.
  13. I guess I can erase my mental note to be diligent in adding White ASAP in LOD.
  14. Two of those are directly, 100% Gibbons. The other two were certainly at Gibbons' request with the FO signing off (which they shouldn't have).
  15. Games haven't even started and we've seen four egregious decisions at least partially attributable to Gibbons: - Pillar leading off - Carrera over Pompey and Ceciliani (hell, I'd prefer Lake) - Tepera - Osuna closing (will cost the team hundreds of thousands of dollars)
  16. Boxy snatching up all shares of Tyler White.
  17. Yeah. There really isn't an argument to be made for Carrera to stick around. He can't hit, and is a shockingly bad defender for a guy who runs as well as he does. He also hits left-handed, so there's not even the Saunders platoon excuse.
  18. So three players on the opening day 25-man who project as replacement-level garbage (or worse). I was hoping for fewer of these types this year.
  19. Carrera over Ceciliani is so gross. So is Tepera.
  20. Smart play would be Storen as save collector.
  21. I really don't like that as justification for the trade. Gibby works for Shatkins. If he's using Hendriks in low-leverage spots in April you call him up and tell him to stop doing that.
