    I don't know - who's injured in this scenario? Someone is always injured. You can always sit one of Conforto or KK and simply call it a rest day - there can't be an expectation they will play all 162 games. Springer, Gurriel, Kirk, Jansen don't hit lefties significantly better than righties (like Espinal does) so they could also have a rest day....that's if Jansen's even on the team - if not, you could sit 1 of the catchers. I don't see this as an issue myself. The only guy I'm probably trying to get in there v. a LH starter is Espinal and maybe Merrifield. I would probably try to find an excuse to get either Conforto or KK on the bench if I can. LF - Conforto CF/RF - Merrifield RF/CF - Springer 2nd - Espinal C - Kirk/Jansen DH - Kirk/Jansen or Gurriel Next time we face a LH starter, you put KK in there and Conforto sits - assuming everyone is healthy (which is unlikely)

    Except I fully expect that Texas believes they are also contenders...SD is no different than us either.

    We need to stop citing this. We 100% can guarantee him full time playing time; however, we do have to include the caveat that he has to produce. This is a WS contender and we can't let him hit .180 for 3 months while he works his way back from injury. The Rangers probably can unless they are delusional that they are a playoff team.

    Plenty of versatility with Conforto, KK, Springer, Merrifield that allows us to use Gurriel as the 4th OFer, even if he can't play CF (or RF?)
  5. Brownie19
    This is exactly what you do - although the stats will show the 4th OFer gets 500+ PA's on average anyway, so it shouldn't be hard for Conforto to see he'll get a full workload in TO this year. Conforto signing would round off a fantastic offseason.

    Anyone here have Raptors tickets for sale? I'd like to pick up 2 (or 4) tickets for their game v. the Grizzlies on December 29th.
  7. Brownie19
    Kenny is reporting the Jays and Rangers are both interested in Conforto. Grab the lube.

    This is exactly how I see it Deadpool. Perhaps others don't see or understand this?
  9. Brownie19
    yeah - you'd need to to have a plan to spend that money. If you were trading Jansen and Ryu for Happ and then signing Eovaldi and/or Rogers - I could understand that (although that would be more of a short term move). However, I'd REALLY prefer to add a young/affordable OFer if we are trading a catcher.

    There are still lots of good players available via FA - let's not wake them up!

    This is more like splurging on a $1000 bottle of wine - and, yes, I think splurging on a $200 bottle of wine is stupid. Difference between doing stupid things and being stupid though.
  12. Brownie19
    That's what makes this board so good. And we have GDT's for people like that to vent into the abyss.

    Exactly - exactly why it seems odd that you consistently complain about this 'environment' and how awful it is. If you don't like it, play Candy Crush instead.

    I know TL posts on Reddit a lot. Is it a significantly better environment than this? I'm baffled that you consistently bitch about this forum. From my perspective, this is a fun, entertaining place where I learn a s*** ton about baseball. I'm a lifelong baseball fan, player, coach, etc. - yet have learned more about the MLB from this board than anywhere else. The only consistent thing I see in here are people ripping people who are very outspoken about outdated views/opinions (like we need to target hitters who get lots of RBI's). I think the mods do a good job at keeping the BS banter to a minimum. You seem like the baseball dad who's always complaining about the coaching staff, expecting perfection - just slings s***.
  16. Brownie19
    I'm certainly not a fan of either, but I think I preferred Tabler. Buck says things all the time that are just plain wrong/false and never misses an opportunity to rip 'new age' baseball and tell us about how things used to be better in the good ole days. It's like he's angry with the changes to the game.
  17. Brownie19
    It doesn't appear we have much room to add more salary (before we're into luxury cap territory), so I think the Conforto dream is gone. I fully expect the FO wants to add a young, cheap, cost controlled OFer through trade (for one of our catchers), which would push Gurriel to the 4th OF spot.
  18. Brownie19
    I'm confused.
  19. Brownie19
    So you are on other websites ripping this forum?
  20. Brownie19
    Sounds like we'd have to shed other contracts to add Conforto - or go over the luxury cap limit for 1 year. Seems more likely we're trying to trade a catcher for a young OFer than it does we sign Conforto....but with $ coming off the books next year, I could see us exceeding the luxury tax for 1 year and resetting that next year.

    The good news is that Bryce Harper has gone through some massive changes in his swing since he first entered the league. There's a good video on IG that shows how he was a front foot hitter with a negative bat approach as a rookie (which I assume lead to him driving the ball into the ground a lot). He now has a MUCH better swing path/launch angle, which has allowed him to develop into a consistent stud with the bat. I hope they are working with Vlad on the same adjustments.

    Ask DMX....errrrr, I guess you need to google DMX now.
  23. Brownie19
    Given how awful their ML roster and prospect pool is - I don't think they should be adding big time FA's (and I have no idea why a big name FA would want to go there besides the $$$). I believe they should continue to add those misfit vets and fringe AAAA players...the issue is they need to be trading them for young assets. There biggest mistake was letting Gausman and Rodon hit free agency. They should be selling Cobb right now and should have traded Pederson last year when he was finally good - adding youth and rebuilding properly.
  24. Brownie19
    Jim's right. Lots can and will likely happen between now and opening day. No need to rush anything. Remember how often injuries happen - Moreno starting in AAA isn't the worst case scenario possible.
  25. Brownie19
    1 year $8M-$10M is really nice.
