You need to keep these plebs whipped into shape. You've been slacking.
You don't even keep a speed bump timer anymore, not the Greenwood I used to know.
Shapiro is about value/dollars. This is what Bautista and Encarnacion provide. I don't know why people are so pessimistic. If they are asking for reasonable deals, they will be re-signed.
I think Mayo gets s*** on more than he probably deserves. Everyone is capable of improvement and when I hear him discuss prospects, the first thought that comes to my mind is definitely not "that guy sounds like an idiot" though of course sitting next to O'Dowd doesn't hurt.
MLB seems like they are really churning out solid lists these days. I find Jim Callis to be quite an agreeable gentleman, and they seem to have no qualms about boosting guys way up who weren't on their radar prior.
I find it weird that saskjaysfan isn't campaigning for Colabello to lead off. He could use a confidence boost too and likely sports a better OBP.
I think if you said to Colabello "hey kid, we believe in you. Bat leadoff." He'll probably OBP around .380 and gain the ability to run faster.
