  1. I'm not usually too critical of the front office, but the fact that we didn't sign any of the good and cheap relievers this offseason is ridiculous. Injuries or not, turning to Daniel Hudson as your third best reliever is inexcusable.
  2. Why pull Zimmerman after 70 pitches? Strange move.
  3. I can't comprehend why we didn't get more depth. This happens every spring and they just watched guys like Gio Gonzalez sign minor league deals. I understand that he may not have been willing, but a lot of depth pitchers have signed reasonable deals recently and we chose not to sign any of them.
  4. Mike Trout about to sign a 12 year 430 million dollar contract extension with the Angels.
  5. I don't know why that phrase ever became popular when Napoleon Complex describes the condition so much better. Either way, Stroman certainly has it.
  6. Soon to be known as a LTOGY if the league gets their rule change.
  7. I'd just rather see a young outfielder force their way onto the team instead of being handed a job and flopping. I don't have much confidence in our other CF options right now other than Gruchuk.
  8. I think that we need to see more of our young outfielders, particularly Alford and McKinney, before we deal away KP. His value shouldn't change much between now and July.
  9. I thought that Sheryl Ring was a woman this entire time. I guess I just assumed from the first name. Why would anyone donate to pay for someone's cosmetic surgery?
  10. Presumably it is for roster flexibility during spring training.
  11. https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-may-gotten-away-primary-goals-new-signings/ I usually agree with Shi Davidi, but this is a really stupid article. Does he really think that Borucki won't get innings if he pitches well?
  12. If the young pitchers are performing well then we can find ways to get them innings. It's not as if a guy like Richard or Buchholz can't be moved. What will hurt the young pitchers is if we force them into situations that they aren't ready for by not having enough veteran depth.
  13. Yeah it's not like we have any pitchers with injury concerns. Who needs depth?
  14. I like this move. If we can sign another guy like Gio Gonzalez then I will be comfortable with the rotation depth.
  15. I expect that he'll get most of his time at 2B in a timeshare with Schoop, but obviously he will also get time at all of the corner spots. I'm sure they will find 500+ at-bats for him. Nice add for the Twins.
  16. One of those teams has the consensus worst farm system in the league.
  17. In the recent past he surely could have expected a contract approaching the Ryan Howard extension.
  18. We also had good reason to believe that the knuckler would be better in domed stadiums.
  19. I'm not buying it. Anyone would have been fine with dealing a pair of non top 100 prospects for the reigning Cy Young winner on a cheap deal.
  20. Well if you had the 2019 red sox farm system then it would.
  21. I can already see the fake injury controversy coming up in a playoffs deciding game. Sounds like something that Houston would do.
  22. The fact that you actually think that is Keith Law just goes to show how little credibility he has.
  23. Oh please...
  24. That could be the case and I'm not saying that they need to sign him. From a fan's perspective, however, the bullpen outlook is worse than it was last year and 2018 Axford would be a useful piece for us as things stand right now.
