Julian "Freddy Krueger" Tavarez. http://mlb.mlb.com/images/2007/05/17/g3HvSAbB.jpg

Not really and he loses a lot of points for constant snot rockets.
-
Yes but that's not the point. Do you think Pederson is a realistic return for Sanchez?
-
Mike Stud went to Duke. Probably pals with Stroman. Any pal of Stroman is a pal of Sanchez. Edit: Stroman calls Stud, " ".
-
The possible alternative meaning is probably lost on Sanchez.

Yeah for me it's not really about punishing the users, it's more about rewarding the players who choose to say clean. In the old game, there was absolutely no incentive to stay clean because no one could get caught using. Now if you stay clean, you know that you won't get caught and that's probably enough of a reward for the players who don't really want to use PEDs in the first place. There's actually something in it for them now. Of course, you're always going to have players who have a win at all cost mentality and they will continue to use and those players will look foolish if and when they get caught. In an ideal world, I feel like the distinction between "clean" and "dirty" players would be rendered meaningless. It seems like players interest would best be served if these drugs could be administered legally under medical supervision but the vast web of Western drug use hypocrisy is only just starting to get untangled.

Only his head was frozen.

I want in. I'm pretty up-to-date in my prospect knowledge at the moment. Recently finished charting all the minor leagues for the LOD draft.
-
Oh o.k. I get what you're saying now... I thought you merely meant a rotation that goes 6 deep. You mean a 6 player cycle.
-
My issue isn't with the quality of the pitcher so much as which the quantity of innings they might be good for.
-
I think they need more innings. Someone like the Indians' Josh Tomlin would be a fit.
-
So bascially wherever he was ranked, it wasn't high enough.
-
Where were you ranked?
-
Mejia is a bonehead. That being said, you probably wouldn'tt have to make any real comitment.
-
DL flyers: Minor, Alvarez
-
One compromise that might generate discussion would be for the final results of the poll to be revealed one at a time.
-
I know this is tongue and cheek but discouraging this kind of posturing would be reason enough for me to favour the polls.
-
No it wouldn't but Grant has jumped the gun on it anyways.
-
I really doubt you'd see a significant difference in the results by changing the approach. Everyone here is capable of reading a scouting report or a stat line.
-
O.K. I have something in mind and I've been meaning to contribute more to the blog. I'll see if I can whip something out on Happ this afternoon. I'm also still planning to do a Holiday themed piece on baseball books which I should probably finish sooner rather than later becaue it's prime shopping season right now.
-
How complicated a Happ piece do we need? Would a Dave Cameron type, basic stats and projections, comparing the price to Zimmerman and a quote and a link to the Fangraphs piece suffice?

I don't think they're done. The current pitching staff has 5 200 IP seasons collectively and all 5 were by R.A. Dickey. One mediocre to good innnings eater and 4-5 150 IP guys isn't really a deep rotation and we're to understand that the plan was to build a deep rotation rather than put all their eggs in one basket and focus on an ace. Though the depth is a lot better than it was when they started, I'm not so sure it's where it need to be quite yet. At this point, I woudn't count Diamond as anything more than AAA filler and I'm not convinced the org wants to reverse course on Sanchez and Osuna. Those options would have to be seriously condidered if they don't bring in anyone else but I think they will bring someone in to make them 7 deep counting Hutch.

Very graphic. Thanks.
-
Arizona is gorgeous but I don't see the appeal of Phoenix. Mind you I didn't spend much time there but it just looked liked one of those cities that just sprawls endlessly. Just getting to downtown Phoenix from the outskirts felt like forever.

It's a long offseason. We're only like a month in.
