  1. I guess the idea is to not disrupt the middle of the lineup while Travis is out (though that's probably going to be for awhile). This whole belief in fixed lineup spots (and rigid bullpen roles) is all very Cito Gaston like. Gibbons used to run different lineups practically every day in the old days.
  2. Gibbons said Saunders or Pillar would lead off.
  3. Pillar seems to be the only want who wants it. The middle of the order hitters want to be middle of the order hitters. It's a baseball culture thing and not really a battle worth fighting.
  4. Tulo doesn't like it and it's just not worth annoying a core player over.
  5. Norris and Estrada were battling it out for the last spot last year. Sanchez was in the mix too but he was bumped to 4th starter after the Stroman injury.
  6. At this point, he's really doing Rogers PR work for them. You don't negotiate through the media.

    Rhyming "crab" with "a-rab" is inspired.

    Sorry for ruining your joke.
  9. New Columbia Heights is very trendy right now.
  10. New York is arguably the most interesting city in the world.
  11. Chad Girodo.
  12. Not sure why you though that. Traded him in LOD. Mentioned him to 5-6 owners in this league this offseason. Brought up Zimmer a lot as well.
  13. It doesn't make sense to be opposed to this without even knowing what the terms will be. Nothing wrong with negotiating with a player with a stated interest to stay. You can always walk away if you don't come to terms but I suspect they'll find something that works for everyone.
  14. Sorry, I meant good John Danks, i.e., Gavin floyd not bad Gavin Floyd, i.e. John Danks.
  15. Would you say the Lind trade was stupid because Estrada was put in the bullpen (which he was)? Chavez's value as a guy who can make starts doesn't disappear if he starts the season in the bullpen. That won't determine whether or not it was a stupid trade.
  16. Last year IIRC we had three guy vying for two spots (Norris, Sanchez and Estrada). This year, Estrada has basically traded places with Hutch on the depth chart and there are 4 guys (Chavez, Sanchez, Danks, Hutch) competing for only one spot.
  17. I thinks Saunders' performance is what's important. If he looks healthy, he gives you the option of holding back Pompey as a plan B in AAA until the inevitable callup.
  18. If the Jays get off to a low start, expect a lot of belly-aching about the leisurely spring training schedule.
  19. Floyd's in the hunt but I think if he's here it's because the brass must have like what they saw out of him as a reliever in Cleveland last year.
  20. Pretty darn sensible if you ask me.
  21. The whole reason I wanted Ramos was that I was targeting Capps as well.
  22. Good thing I didn't give up anything too crazy.
  23. Montreal Cormorans Good luck finding another bird that inhabits the area and has a bilingual name.
