    Jesus Christ.

    Ok. I was saying there's no scenario where you'd bat Alvarez between Jose and EE...

    Man - I remember when I thought Jay Bruce was good. I was dumn.

    Said nobody. Ever. Dumb

    I've never understood why people think we 'need' a lefty power bat.....to me it becomes an issue when you have too many LH bats as late in games you can get shut down by good LOOGY's. Doesn't seem to be an issues with RH heavy lineups

    I don't like the idea of making a 1st/DH a core player. Heyward at 8/200 is significant better than Davis at 6/150 IMO

    No. Notta. Zip. Zero

    Why do we keep suggesting this....
  9. Brownie19
    I don't know if that's true. Neftal Feliz Osuna Buehrle Wacha Wainwright Carlos Martinez Lynn Price David Wells Sale Shark C.J. Wilson Those are the names I came up with in like 30 seconds. All were starters in the minors who were brought up as relievers and then converted. Now I'll admit - I've remembered most of the ones who did it successfully. Personally, I don't think teams convert guys like Betances into a reliever...watch him dominate in that role and then try and switch him back...I don't think that happens as much as you do.

    Interesting - well I guess advanced stats prove me wrong. I do thing visually, there was a massive difference in early Cecil vs. late season Cecil....and the ACTUAL results back that up.
  11. Brownie19
    I'm not sure that's true. You're saying most prospects are given a chance to start and then put in the pen when they fail as a starter....after dominating as a pen arm, they are put back in the rotation? Is that what you're saying? I don't think that happens too much......nor is that what I was saying. I'm saying relievers turned starters get injured more and have poor results. To be honest, the article may have been looking at converted relievers in their 2nd season as a starter....I think it says they generally do well in their first year - but the results fall off the table in year 2 of the conversion. I read the article like 3-4 years ago.....little fuzzy.

    Cecil was awful early on before he tweaked his mechanics...removing him from the closers role was the right move. Inserting Castro....apparently was not, although obviously putting Osuna there was and it's hard to really blame Gibby for giving Castro a shot - especially when you see how successful Osuna was.

    We'll that's a little harsh. I did look and Miller's OPS wasn't .930 turdburgler
  14. Brownie19
    I remember reading an article a few years ago (for fantasy baseball) on relievers turned starters. It doesn't work out very well. There are a lot of injuries and simply bad pitching associated with the move in the short term...
  15. Brownie19
    So did Nick Franklin.
  16. Brownie19
    whys everyone hate on Karns so much? I'm not convinced Miller will every be that good to be honest, although I fully expect Farquhar to come in and dominate for TB
  17. Brownie19
    There is a good chance he's right...
  18. Brownie19
    If he declines the QO - I could see him being this years Ervin Santana.....He isn't good enough to sign to a 5-6 year deal and he's not good enough to give up a draft pick on a 2-3 year deal.... That said - despite his FB tendencies, I like Kennedy and think he's a good fit. Ideally, we'd pair him with Shark
  19. Brownie19
    Well at least your User ID is accurate.
  20. Brownie19
    The point is they both have no trade clauses....they aren't going anywhere.
  21. Brownie19
    Why do people keep talking about trading EE or bats?
  22. Brownie19
    My point was it seems as though a lot of 2nd basemen fall off the cliff (or up the stairs - that was beautiful CHRIS) in their early 30's. I'm not sure how that relates to Mark Lowe, although I must say I think he's a risky investment and yes I would be leery of giving him a 3 year deal.
  23. Brownie19
    I just see that as he wants to pour as much $ into starters - at the expense of keeping "good" bench players. It's a risk/reward thing. To be honest, it worked this year with Goins providing a ton of value while costing next to nothing. It didn't work out in LF due to a combination of the Saunders injury and Pompey sucking the hind tit.
  24. Brownie19
    Wait - he shouldn't have expected a 32 year old second baseman to fall off a cliff? Perhaps it's folklore, but I tend to see that as common knowledge.
  25. Brownie19
    How on earth can you say that with any confidence? Hoffman, Norris, Castro.....these guys could all become studs like Noah has (and TDA to some extent).
