    Kalfus would be lucky to have the minor league career Pillar has had.

    Quite possibly the season low today. I'd be surprised if there wasn't one of those token "players only meetings" tomorrow
  3. John_Havok
    Absolutely. I'm remotely optimistic, but until we see this at AA or AAA, consistently keeping the walks under control while striking out his share, there's no real reason to expect anything from Drabek going forward
  4. John_Havok
    Hoe you reported him. He clearly created this account as a vent with no intention add any meaningful discussion.
  5. John_Havok
    It's really not. It's not good, but it's not like there isn't some reason to think that bounceback isn't possible in 2014 with a few key moves. I'm not sure AA makes those moves, but ... Can always dream.

    He's putting TO in the worst situation possible. Having to make an offer that you're praying will be rejected in order to try and get a pick, likely to watch some other team scoop him up on the cheap and regain his form.

    Trades made out of frustration and emotional responses to failure are destined to fail themselves, IMO.

    Retool, not rebuild. Hard to rebuild when you have nothing to sell except pen arms.
  9. John_Havok
    Yeah, he should never be interested in due diligence, that's overrated.

    Minor league game but when's the last time you saw 27 runs scored without a single HR? http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2013_07_21_pawaaa_dubaaa_1&t=g_box&sid=milb

    Nobody can accuse Japanese pitchers of being babied.
  12. John_Havok
    Just do it.

    The Rays generally have to play small ball. Historically they've never been a high offense team, this year is kind of an aaberration in that regard, and have been getting by with a great pitching staff. Maddon is a good manager, but a lot of his success is due far more to the pitching staff than his playing small ball, which is really more of a necessity than some kind of brilliant strategy on his part. Friedman and their player development people have far more to do with that team's success than Maddon, IMO.

    I take the completed opposite stance. This team needs to show something down the stretch to keep any kind of optimism into 2014. When expectations are high and a team fails miserably, apathy can set in very fast. The simple fact that this team has a hard on for taking high school pitchers who slide due to injury or who are rumoured to be incredibly hard signs should be all anyone needs to know to realize that more picks isn't necessarily a good thing.

    You're so full of it. Everyone knows there are no doctors in the DR
  16. John_Havok
    Yeah not sure why the media is referencing this now, when the article is 4 years old
  17. John_Havok
    Just a numbers crunch, but yeah, I agree with you. Bonifacio provides nothing to this team right now that isn't redundant. Speed off the bench or OF replacement? Davis. Mif and 3b IF 4 capable defensive players in Lawrie, Reyes, Izturis and deRosa. He's just not needed.

    Very interesting article: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/print.jsp?ymd=20090808&content_id=6316054&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb

    Melky in the lineup today, batting 5th
  20. John_Havok
    You kidding? There's many examples every year of that exact thing.
  21. John_Havok
    Still think it's too early, he's one bad month from being at the bottom of the barrel again.
  22. John_Havok
    Would be a good first step. It's not really as detrimental I think that some make it out to be, but to an athlete being paid ludicrous amounts of money to play a game, they should have more important things to worry about than what people say about them on twitter.
  23. John_Havok
    Votto reached base tonight for the 30th straight game. #OBPmachine
  24. John_Havok
    Sure looks that way
  25. John_Havok
    Also goes without saying
