    I imagine no pitcher in baseball still is in contact with the rubber when they release the ball...

    Notice how he holds his glove hand "out" and lets his body come to it? He must have been watching Tom House pitching drills videos on Youtube Looks like he missed Tom's recommendations for the push off - found a triple jump video for that I guess.

    It's hard to find defensive wizards Ang.

    Perfect - Dickey, Thole, Navarro and Goins They never said they wanted good players.

    It is if you have an unlimited budget

    Man - I'm not sure anyone else in baseball passes the "eye" test like Cashner. The man looks dominate every time I see him. He's a major injury risk though.

    I heard 2 jays AA prospects were just scratched.
  8. Brownie19
    That's very respectable.

    The day the GM worries about fan momentum is the day I would fire him.

    Theo didn't draft or sign Russell - he traded for him.....but ya, still impressive.

    I think the point is that in general - players that light up the minors become good ML players. Players who suck in the minors, typically don't become good ML players. Obviously there are outliners, but it's fair to discuss players based on generalities isn't it? If a guy can't strike out many in A or AA - and most minor leaguers who can't strike out guys in A and AA fail in the majors - then it's fair to raise that as a concern.
  12. Brownie19
    I think it's called playing the percentages. There aren't many pitcher who have a 5.9 K/9 rate in AA that become big time major league pitchers. Sure it happens from time to time - but not often.

    Did Buck just say Sanchez is a strike throwing machine in the majors? Wtf man.
  14. Brownie19
    I didn't know most of those details. They are awesome - yet questionable all at the same time.
  15. Brownie19
    Done deal HD.

    I think this confirms your identity - welcome to he board Kevin Barker....we hate your accent.
  17. Brownie19
    yep - I deserved that.

    It's not mortgaging the future b/c it's possible neither pan out? Isn't there the same possibility that they both pan out and then you did mortgage a bright future? Either way, it's asset management man. It will take awhile for everyone to know if they will pan out - in the meantime, they have immense value.
  19. Brownie19
    And did either of them mortgage the future and acquire a bunch of rental players to get there? No, they got hot at the right time, caught some luck and ended up in the WS. If you're going to point that out - you also have to point out the A's who got the rental players and went down in flames.

    Captain Obvious sighting...
  21. Brownie19
    I made a post about this before. I bet there's a lot of fans like LTR, who are willing to mortgage the future just for potentially 1 playoff game. Personally, I'd rather stay the course with the objective being sustainable winning....however, that said, perhaps I do underestimate how difficult it is to sustain winning...an interesting debate. If we were already a WC team, I'd give up Sanchez or Hoffman to get better. I'm not willing to move Norris or Hoffman just to become a WC team.
  22. Brownie19
    Actually it was my post you replied to - but I echo what TL said. He is spot on.
  23. Brownie19
    wat? McCullers has been amazing, McHugh's been good, Velasquez is solid. Their issue might be inning limits on all the young guys. I so wish AA would have gone out and got Josh Fields at the start of the year after the Astros's signed 2 relievers and pushed him down into a mid inning role.
  24. Brownie19
    I agree with this. The cost for the "aces" (Price, Cueto & Hamels) will way too high - especially with no guarantee it makes us a playoff team. I also suspect the price to acquire decent pitchers with club control is high. I'd rather trade some mid level prospects for Kennedy & Latos and see if that can put this team over the top. MB, Latos, Kennedy, Hutch & Estrada is a very solid rotation - which is all we need with this offensive lineup. Move into next year with both Hoffman and Norris (along with the return of Stro) and continue with the long term plan of sustainable winning.

    where'd you get that info?
