  1. I cannot say with certainty but this probably has a lot to do with him moving to the rotation, so he sacrifices a bit of velocity to be able to go deeper into games, not very uncommon for pitchers that make the transition from to the pen to the rotation. Also yeah there is probably the fact that he is not used to pitching too many innings in one season and is starting to wear down.
  2. Oh great, attacking a young naive boy just because he's from a poorer country. Reported for hate-crime.
  3. K I'll bite, I'm 16, legally I don't have any reason to leave my parent's house whatsoever. Lol TheHurl.
  4. Guys can we at least keep the obvious same-person trolling to stay baseball related? At this point I'd rather talk to Angels fans who wouldn't trade Mark Trumbo for Longoria straight up, geez at least they made it look believable (they actually did think that way).
  5. I lol'ed at "her" response to TheHurl about girls not playing baseball. So high level ball? Told the coach the cleavage was just a post-steroids effect?
  6. Picking odd candidates doesn't seem to be panning out so EE (if not playing for any reason then Rasmus).
  7. Are a lot of them close? I don't know too much about their system other than the obvious guys at the top of the list, would Anthony Ranaudo (sp?) be the other guy? Again at this point the only uncertainty for them is relief help which for some reason Cherington overvalues and still fails at acquiring. As things go it's probably Ellsburry or another 3rd good OF (accounting for Vic and Bradley as the other two), I see them keeping Saltalamachia, but they could be in the early bidding for McCann, they probably push hard though if they do see themselves with no starting C. How has Lester been this year? Internet too slow to check, I don't think they can survive with their current rotation unless the mentioned pitching prospects make an instant impact on the team as soon as next year.
  8. Yeah Choo would make sense for them, he'd probably mash in Boston, I think their current situation with Ellsburry is a good one, either he signs a fair deal to both him and the team, or he asks for FA money, leaves, then Boston has good money coming off with the already listed players, and has a chance to offer up good money to some good FA's out there. Because their offense is always good, I still think they should pursue SP help, and maybe trying not to f*** up miserably by trading for "established bullpen help" as we all saw how great that worked out.
  9. That's true, but a deal like Pedroia's would really open up their wallets to bid in on someone like Garza or McCann this offseason, though I think keeping Salty wouldn't be too bad for them. They have a lot of versatility with Victorino in the OF so even if they don't resign Ellsburry, they have Victorino, Bradley Jr. and would Gomes be the other one? They could try to acquire another OF through trade though I'd be scared because Cherington doesn't really seem to trade well for needs.
  10. It would suck hairy balls if Boston would signs Ellsburry at an AAV of less than $20MM per. Though Boston has a bit of leverage with the injury concerns, still though, he's younger and plays a more premium position, plus Boras.
  11. Meh, though 84 isn't bad I think top prospect is more top 15. And "Expect solid all-around numbers and perhaps even a Rookie of the Year Award." WTF, psychic much?
  12. Almost every single Marlins' trades over the past 10 years involves trading star players in exchange for prospects. FFS Jose Reyes and others for Marisnick, Nicolino, Henderson Alvarez and Hechevarria.
  13. Bautista injured his wrist last year and he made a pretty poor showing, it wasn't because of the Derby, he always takes swings like that. And again, they many not all be HR swings but players do BP every day, and the last round of BP is usually a HR contest, then you couple that with the swings the players might take in games and that in itself takes a toll on the players' wrist throughout their whole career, not just the one time that they appear in the HR Derby.
  14. I did say that of his few good moves the LAD salary dump was a good one.

  16. Thanks for posting the details, and I forgot about Scutaro, just terrible moves all across the board. This team isn't winning because of Cherington, it's the foundation of the one left behind by Theo Epstein.
  17. Stopped reading after that. It is common knowledge by everyone in baseball that the last swings of BP is players attempting to hit long balls. A wrist injury doesn't just happen the one time because the player "was swinging too hard" seeing as every BP before the game the players also attempt to hit bombs just for fun. I'm sure Stanton doesn't practice his bunting a few times before the game starts.
  18. Trades reliever for a good SS that had been a position lacking for them. Then lets go of said reliever. Trades Josh Reddick (forget who the other guy was). Trades a decent utility guy for a god damn manager (a manager!). Will probably lose Ellsburry or give in and pay him a huge deal. At this point the only good moves I can see is the massive salary dump to LAD and the Pedroia extension.
  19. Technically Chapman has yet to fail as a starter because the Reds won't do it. He did start in Cuba and when representing Cuba so it maybe it's injury concerns because of the speed and delivery, I really don't know why he just wasn't given a shot from the beginning, or at least after giving him his first taste as a reliever and then converted him back, somewhat like a Sale situation.
  20. I too hope he gets extended and a deal like that would be welcomed by many people on here I'm sure. It's true what you say, he hasn't had good enough years before this one with the Jays to justify him getting a bigger deal than that. Plus, hopefully AA pulls the "comfortable in Toronto (reverse St. Louis)" card to get him to stay at a decent price, much like the Escobar deal. At this point Melky really isn't looking like he was for the past few years be it for whatever reason (no roids, playing injured, whatever), so I wouldn't mind a Rasmus LF-Gose CF OF, range for days, and it would help getting the much better arm (and defender for that matter) in CF.
  21. A guy his age doesn't just suddenly lose speed from one year to the other. Stealing bases isn't all about speed, it has a lot more to do with reading the pitcher's delivery, and getting good jumps. We can pretty much assume his head isn't fully in the game as the stats show. His defense hasn't seemed to take a hit according to some others that have seen him, and his speed/arm make up a lot of it.
  22. I agree with this, people really underrate how good and valuable a player Rasmus is when he plays well, he tends to be very streaky but you take it when most of the time I would say he plays at a very good level. Yes Gose is young and controllable but it's no use switching him for Rasmus when Gose hasn't been proving that he can dominate AAA after repeating it (for whatever reason). Redmond is awful and shouldn't even be here if it weren't for injuries and lack of depth.
  23. Except he is as fast as people make him out to be, and by people, we also mean scouts, and it's their job to properly evaluate how fast a player is.
