    Bobby Hurley's a douche?

    I think AA has done fairly well overall. He has shown that he is a good drafter, and I believe he does fairly well in trades. His biggest flaw, in my opinion, is that he doesn't manage the 25 man roster well and because of that relies too heavily on the waiver wire. Perhaps his hits on Bats (I know he came to us as a trade), and EE has him more willing to try to find lightening in a bottle.

    I want every one of them to get parrots for their arms!

    I think he will attempt it. I believe I read in the Inquirer that he doesn't believe next year will be a competing year. It may not be a "full" rebuild or a correct one, it will be the most rebuilding they've done in forever.

    I could see a team who isn't very good or going through a rebuild (Astros, Phillies, etc) taking him and keeping him.

    And, I'm not a tax expert, but US citizens still have to pay the federal income tax for US as well even if their primary residency is in Canada so it's essentially double taxation. It's a big reason why many US citizens abroad are renouncing their citizenship.

    It's nice to see us getting a guy that can take a walk and get on base.

    Ichiro is a free agent. I know he's old but he still seems to get on base at a decent clip. I don't know how much he'd cost but i don't think he'd be a bad player to have as a semi regular.

    I don't think he was that bad when he finally became a pitcher, was he?

    We probably wouldn't be able to resign Melky then.

    I saw Nessy play in Vancouver a couple years ago and from the seats and he didn't do anything useful. I understand that sometimes it's out of his control but I think he had 3 or 4 passed balls and 1 or 2 throwing errors in the game I saw. I know it's just one game but in this instance I think AAA pitching depth>maybe a depth catcher

    And you can't even say that that infield is great defensively. Only Goins is above average and the rest are at or below average. Edit: Two are above average when Lawrie isn't injured.

    Yup

    It sucks when someone who is younger than me goes. It just shouldn't happen.

    I believe his problem was that he always swung for the fences and didn't make enough contact, correct? From the sound of the interview that a previous poster posted he is trying to create more contact and letting his power happen naturally. Too bad he couldn't do this when he was with us.

    I think all infield positions are hard in their own way. I think you have to be a little bit more athletic to play 2nd base but quicker reflexes are needed to play 3rd. It would be hard to fairly rank difficulty for the infield positions, in my opinion.

    Apparently our ex-Buffalo first baseman Dan Johnson is learning to throw a knuckleball. Someone should tell him if he learns to catch one he may be able to replace Thole.

    AA's ultimate goal is to have the entire pitching staff of Buffalo on the 40 man roster, just in case.

    Hinske was drafted by the Cubs, traded to the A's, and played in the minors with both those teams. After he was traded to Toronto for Billy Koch he did not play one game in the minors before his ROY season. I think the last few position players that were developed by this organization that meant something would probably be Vernon Wells, Chris Woodward, Orlando Hudson, Rios, and a few more mid-2000s guys. This is just based off my memory but I don't think there has been any developed "impact" position players since 2010.

    If you spend several months a year with AAA depth in your starting lineup because that's all you have, the failure is not on you.
  21. bendera3
    I'd say that's probably right. Give Pompey a half a year in Buffalo and if he's doing well call him up. Gose is a good bench piece, and his defense if valuable but he just isn't as good of hitter as Pompey.
  22. bendera3
    I'd like to keep the Bulldog. I think he offers more on the field than he would get on the trade market.
  23. bendera3
    Pompey has adapted fairly well every time he was moved up. Gose hasn't. Gose should feel heat.
  24. bendera3
    Haha. Good one. Anyone else think we should just use fun pictures from around the internetz in the game days instead of real pitchers?

    I think Hutch had a good year. Overall he averaged less than a hit an inning, a K an inning, and about a 3:1 K:B ratio. I'll take that.
