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.
-
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

Japanese high school pitcher Tomohiro Anraku

Nobody can accuse Japanese pitchers of being babied. -
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.

Cabrera activated ... Wagner optioned

You're so full of it. Everyone knows there are no doctors in the DR -
Yeah not sure why the media is referencing this now, when the article is 4 years old

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
-
You kidding? There's many examples every year of that exact thing.
-
Still think it's too early, he's one bad month from being at the bottom of the barrel again.
-
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.

Votto reached base tonight for the 30th straight game. #OBPmachine

Sure looks that way

Also goes without saying

Cool

I'm off to Boston with my company at the end of the month, and the Sox are home to Seattle. I'm really hoping the King Felix is in line for a start when I'm there
-
Atlanta is in the market for LH relief with only 1 lefty in the pen right now. Lots of options out there for them though
-
I highl doubt it, but there's also the minor league portion of the rule 5 draft to worry about
