    Thats Drew at SS though right?
  2. DuckDuckGose
    Well apparently she was pregnant. She wasn't fat a few years ago.
  3. DuckDuckGose
    By your standards no Connorp.
  4. DuckDuckGose
    Should be using Happ and Santos/Janssen to bring in a starting 2B.
  5. DuckDuckGose
    Why can I thank everyone but you?
  6. DuckDuckGose
    I wouldn't call picking pointless fights on Twitter (which she has done on numerous occasions) sticking by your man. I would call it attention whoring.

    The thing is you don't need elite relievers. You need guys you can leverage in situations where you are failing and a manager who knows wtf he is doing.
  8. DuckDuckGose
    Like who?
  9. DuckDuckGose
    This is applicable to virtually all relievers. There is so much year-to-year variation that there really isn't a point to spend big money on them. Just fill your BP with cheap talent, let the cream rise and you'll be fine. The other big factor is your manager. If you put in a manager who understands how to use splits and leverage situations accordingly you can get by with less than optimal talent.

    Even Rogers Stadium would be better. Centre makes it sound like a community rec centre.

    Ryan Goins could take reps at C, just saying.
  12. DuckDuckGose
    Chapman? Definitely has the stuff. Not sure how deep in to games he can go at this point though.
  13. DuckDuckGose
    Defensive metrics disagree with elite defense but he certainly looks that way. FWIW Chapman signed for 6yrs $30.25M, Hechavarria for 4yrs $10.5M. When you consider the talent and risk associated with both players at the time of the signings Chapman was the far better get then and now.

    Sign: Ubaldo Jimenez Acquire: Samardzija Trade: Casey Janssen

    Alpha Dog is a pretty good movie.
  16. DuckDuckGose
    Loved Hech but didn't pay up for Chapman... wow..
  17. DuckDuckGose
    I can also see a scenario in which Hutch and Stroman outperform him in AAA and get the call first, even if he does pitch well. The hypothetical scenario would pop up where Drabek is the 7th-9th SP on the depth chart but playing at a MLB level. This may cause AA/Gibbons to use him out of the pen even if they intend to try him as a SP going forward.
  18. DuckDuckGose
    It's time for Drabek to put up or shut up. I think he'll get some MLB innings this season, possibly including a stint in the pen this season.
  19. DuckDuckGose
    It'd allow you to trade Lind and slide Melky to full time DH.... I'm not confident in Melky's ability to bounce back defensively but I do think he'll hit. I could be alone in that line of thinking though.
  20. DuckDuckGose
    Franklin and Ackley more so than Saunders. Jesus Montero could be the answer to the Lind platoon as well.
  21. DuckDuckGose
    It's hard to view Paxton as anything other than a back-end starter. Still a durable 4/5 with years of control is a decent asset. I like Franklin and view him as a third-to-second tier MIF'er. He will never be a star but should hover in the 2-4 WAR range through his prime. Perhaps you'd have to add a little, and Saunders or any OF'er should be high on Chicago's list.
  22. DuckDuckGose
    Well it's certainly looking that way. I hope not though.
  23. DuckDuckGose
    I think Franklin and Paxton (if CHI views him highly) would be enough to get it done but I wouldn't make that trade if I were Seattle.
  24. DuckDuckGose
    With an 8 man BP it really isn't an option to carry both but I'd take Boni over Sierra any day.
  25. DuckDuckGose
    FWIW Boni would be a decent bench piece for the Jays. It's unfortunate he was forced in to the starting lineup and the MIF but Boni does have some value off the bench as a pinch runner and 4th OFer. At the league minimum AA could do worse.
