    That's a good policy. The Ricky Romero extension was BAD. That's an example of extending decent but not great young pitching talent and seeing it blow up in your face.
  2. Terminator
    He said it like it was fact so I was wondering if it was some new line of sabremetric thinking. I think LF and RF are similar enough that if LF gets so many more outs that theory would make sense. I've never heard that before though.
  3. Terminator
    I don't mind Stoeten either. His early stuff with Parkes was hilarious. His pod isn't bad, I actually like Fairservice quite a bit.
  4. Terminator
    Is that true? Should you really put your worst OF in RF because more balls are hit there? I always thought your worst OF should be in LF.
  5. Terminator
    Is Pearce in LF and Bautista at 1B better than the other way around? I'm not convinced. Seems like two subpar fielders instead of just one.
  6. Terminator
    I agree when it comes to small lineup pieces like a loogy, but when the team has sub 1 WAR players slotted for significant playing time it's a big problem if the goal is to compete.
  7. Terminator
    Sign Bautista for LF, trade for Dyson for RF, sign a backup C and then tinker with the bullpen and I think that allows us to compete for the WC.
  8. Terminator
    Bautista in LF and Pearce at 1B could be a better alignment. Pearce is better at 1B than he is in the OF and Bautista is an unknown at 1B. But you could be right, Bautista should bring his 1B glove to ST and they can tinker with it.

    The FO never gave any indication that they wanted EE after signing Morales. They pretty much closed the door on EE when that happened.
  10. Terminator
    The FO basically said that the door was closed on EE when they signed Morales. I wish they would have kept a more open mind when EE signed for as little as he did. Could have made it work for the first season.
  11. Terminator
    Moss is fine as a small addition who platoons. He's projected for about a WAR in a full season.
  12. Terminator
    That lineup suxxx.
  13. Terminator
    Sign who? Only OFers left are all projected for sub 1 WAR.
  14. Terminator
    Are we guaranteed to get a pick for Bautista? The team that signs him could have a protected pick right? And then we'd get a 2nd rounder? I forgot how this works. I'd love to see us resign Bautista and then make a trade for McCutchen or Puig.
  15. Terminator
    He was a really easy way to keep this team competitive next year. In the end perhaps it's best we didn't sign him but I'd like to win the WC again and right now this roster needs a lot of work.
  16. Terminator
    It's possible that they all are telling the truth and Atkins didn't want EE anymore after signing Morales and Pearce because of some sort of promise he made to them or because he was worried about constructing the lineup with both EE and Morales on the team. If that's the case it's a pretty big error but that's a lot of conjecture. Or maybe Atkins made the offer, knew EE would reject and quickly moved on simply because he doesn't like EE's skillset moving forward and didn't want to pay 20 AAV for a DH. Regardless, this is a set back for the team IMO and I don't think this board is really grasping it right now. We lost a 4 WAR player and we are replacing him with inferior players and still have huge glaring holes. Still lots of offseason left although the FA options aren't that appealing. I'll reserve further judgment but this team needs to make a trade badly.
  17. Terminator
    This makes no sense. If they were willing to go up to 100 mil why wouldn't they just sign him at a big discount and figure out the positions afterward. Pearce to LF, EE to 1B and Smoak to Buffalo. Surely less than ideal defense at 1B and in LF wouldn't prevent them from signing a player at 35% discount?
  18. Terminator
    Seems like the team is taking the heat for this one. I think he'll get cheered.
  19. Terminator
    Very well said. You have single-handedly redeemed yourself after today's Bautista to 3B post.
  20. Terminator
    Easy was the wrong word. I used it because we had replacement level players at 4 positions (corner OF , 1B and DH) so in theory just resigning Edwin and adding a combination of 4-5 WAR for the other 3 spots would pretty much get us there.
  21. Terminator
    Honestly, both isn't good enough. We are a .500 team right now. We need to add at least 5 wins, preferably more.
  22. Terminator
    Saunders probably isn't any worse than Moss. He's more risk-reward though IMO. We could really use him or Moss. I'd probably prefer Saunders.
  23. Terminator
    I'd prefer to be higher than 85-86. This team easily could have been in the 88 range. Also, your proposal of possibly adding an OF, signing a backup C, and signing a couple of relievers might not even get us to 85. This team needs some significant moves which they can still do.
  24. Terminator
    Yeah that defensive setup isn't ideal but that's what happens when you sign strict DHs like Morales. Edwin is passable enough at 1B, Pearce is passable enough in LF, and let Morales spell EE at 1B for 50-60 games. It'd work fine for this season. They could make a deal after the year to figure something else out.
  25. Terminator
    Oh I hear you. Our corner OF is a joke right now, should be relatively easy to add 4 wins to the team with a couple of moves. I'm worried they'll only make one though and that Smoak will get a lot of AB's in a platoon.
