    This is interesting because Buehrle is notorious for always accepting the first sign. There may be something to the idea that Navarro's a good game caller after all because Buehrle's improvement seems entirely due to pitch selection. Just yesterday, I was telling CHP he was full of s*** for making claims about the quality of Navarro's game calling but he may be right (not that he presented this article as evidence or anything).

    What are the odds that you have an Obama dart board?

    Gose/Pillar, Kratz/Thole, Francisco/Tolleson platoons FTW.

    As long as the Rays are run by smarter people, I will never consider their situation worse than the Jays situation. Fire Beest and bring in someone smart and then the situation could be better.

    Yeah but net population size as a measure of the quality of a market is dumb. So many other factors play in to the quality of a market such as the location, quality and accessiblity of the facilities, franchise history, local culture, etc. The best system would be to get rid those picks altogether and make all picks tradeable.

    Bingo. It's a lot easier to have a good drafting record when you have the luxury of volume covering up your mistakes. This is exactly how AA built the Jays system, almost all his good picks where compensation picks of some sort or another. It's hard to hit with just the regular picks. It's not impossible but it's considerably harder. On a side note, how frustrating is it that the Cards get a competitive balance pick? They, not the Rays, are the best draft and development team. They really don't need that advantage.

    Friedman could turn things around pretty quickly if he gets a good return on those trades. The system could definitely use the injection of talent those two could bring.

    FFS. I think this quote tells you everything you need to know about the priority the Jays are putting on this. They'd like a programmer but they won't pay him (or her) what they are worth. Pretty ridiculous when you consider what the operating budget of a baseball team is.

    It seems painfully obvious at this point that McGowan and Stroman's roles should be reversed. Both are miscast at this point and it's not working for anyone involved not to mention it's a waste of Stroman's service time.

    I have activated a few players if anyone wants to clean up the sheet, Flores, Gibson, Hicks are all active and Jose Ramirez will be next (as soon as he gets 2B eligibility).

    Vargas, Harang, Roberts, Venable, McGehee, Rajai, Benoit. Basically all my veterans especially those that are having good season are on the block but don't fit in my long term plans. If I can package more than one, that's even better.
  12. KingKat
    I'm shopping Vargas if anyone is interested. Not looking for much, a DL stashee or project player should do the trick. I feel like his veteran presents are wasted on my team.
  13. KingKat
    Gose is the better option for everyday play but Pillar because he's right-handed fills a reserve role well. It was a little odd to call up Pillar as a fill in for Rasmus but if the plan is to transition him to the Sierra role it makes sense.
  14. KingKat
    I really like this trade for you. I think Gordon has tremendous fantasy potential. I prefer him to Kendrick although I would have probably taken either for Garza.
  15. KingKat
    McCown would be surprised to hear you call him a liberal.
  16. KingKat
    How in the world could you possibly evaluate the quality of Navarro's game calling?
  17. KingKat
    I'm facing an impending 3B logjam. We should talk.
  18. KingKat
    Ball just explodes off the bat. I like.
  19. KingKat
    s*** the team could have had Michael Taylor for the low, low cost of a Sierra DFA and it didn't happen so yeah...
  20. KingKat
    Pffttt... One guy? The team has at least two, maybe three if you count Pillar. I mean if you're excuse is that you want Gose to keep getting his reps in Buffalo, it's not like you don't have alternatives. Why was Mastro picked up exactly?
  21. KingKat
    Are you not aware of how much more addictive cocaine is when it's in crack form or are you just conveniently ignoring that?
  22. KingKat
    Of course I know that they're both cocaine but crack as a term is specific. If you snort coke but don't smoke crack cocaine, you're not a crackhead. That's just ignorant.

    I'm starting to feel Sidall even if he's a bit dry. He shares his obsvervations and whe he doesn't have anything to say, he has the decency to keep quiet and not fill the airwaves with inane chatter like Tabby does. It's pretty refreshing.
  24. KingKat
    I don't know about that. Aybar came down the line really fast. He probably should have eaten the ball and saved the run.
  25. KingKat
    If you call this a long look what do you call what Goins had?
