Torridd

I don't know, Mark. You end up stockpiling all these guys to put them in AAA waiting for guys to be hurt. That's fine for young guys, but vets?

LOL!

I can't see him going to AAA unless he totally bombs in Spring training.

Hey totd, re what you said below, how do you determine how much depth you need? Supposedly, everyone is healthy now. Do you assume that everyone who has been hurt will get hurt again and create depth for each or do you create "regular" depth since they're all currently healthy? If the latter, how much depth do you acquire? I get that every player, especially a pitcher, is a walking injury risk, and that applies to the FAs as well, but...Richards and Skaggs both seemingly can't go a few starts without something coming up. I don't buy that Ohtani's medical records are anything more than typical wear or tear, but no news at all about his UCL would have certainly felt better.Heaney having shoulder pain late in the year isn't comforting. Hopefully he just rushed back.Shoemaker, Barria and Bridwell haven't had TJ yet - if I were GM, I'd operate under the assumption that eventually, every SP is going to go through it and have depth just in case.

This is another issue. Will a 6-man rotation really help our health matters or does one extra day REALLY matter?

This is possibly what Eppler is waiting for also.

I've been reading all the posts about adding Arrieta, Lynn, Cobb, Darvish, etc. and I wanted to know if all our potential starters are healthy. I know "you can never have enough pitchers" but is it really worth stockpiling them for a "just-in-case" scenario? I know many of our pitchers are coming off injuries, but is it prudent to invest in more starters right now?

How many wins does that translate?

So a definite ROY?

What do you think Eppler would have done if Pujols retired? How would he use the resources? Perhaps Pujols thinks he still has talent to give, and if not that, then experience and insight into the game that he can enlighten his teammates with.

Yet, I like that this is a positive article for the great player Pujols is. https://www.mlb.com/news/albert-pujols-gidp-record-appears-unbreakable/c-266016658

I'll say 13-7, 3.82 ERA .252 and 9 homers

...that was an underdog pick to win it all, who would it be and why?

Sleeper Don Mattingly?

Yankee fans will remember him fondly.

Those are pretty good numbers for 90 percent of the league.

I was so angry about that especially on the heels of that terrible loss. I still think he should have won.

With the current roster and healthy, can we win the Series or do you think we still need pieces? If so, who do you recommend?

But if we get LoMo, how does it work with Pujols and Ohtani?

Is Escobar a free agent? Have we severed ties with him?

Guy, I live in Queens and work in Manhattan.

Guy, I'm also a fan in NYC.

Strad, I just saw it as a joke. I didn't see it as trolling.

I don't think we should go this route - either keep Cron or get a better upgrade.

AO, if this is done, do you think we can win the division?
