  1. like I have said before about this guy, if he learns how to dig balls and drive the ball deep, maybe he can be a 1st baseman someday. He kinda moves like me after Thanksgiving dinner......
  2. I watched him take grounders a few weeks ago, and he looks like a first baseman to me. I didn't see a whole lot of SS in him, maybe 3B but more like 1B.
  3. They should get rid of the Indians, the Chiefs, the Redskins, Walmart should recall all those cheap ass canoe's they've been selling, no more hatchets, hell they should drain Lake O The Cherokees down in Oklahoma. Creeks, Rivers, counties, schools all of this shit that is named after these people should be removed and stricken from the books....its Racist and its not right and needs to stop. I know some good ol boys down in Texas that ride horses and rope cattle and now they want Dallas Cowboys to change their name.......when does this I'm offended shit stop?
  4. Great question....Do you think he might be a little attached to his very first draft? its always better to be part of the new regime than the old! Or does a good GM just just look at them all as expendable pawns?
  5. I agree with keeping the same strategy in this years draft. And if you want to dream a little bit I think we have a couple of sleeper's that will emerge this year or next, most farm's usually do. I personally like Soto a little more than Maitan, who some say he moves more like a first baseman. Strong up the middle athlete's are great trading pieces, let' get some more in June.
  6. The prospects on the back fields. Not just the top 4-5 guys..obviously they will be kicking ass, but the other 20-25 prospects. Who's hitting the ball out of the park, who put on 10lbs of muscle this winter, who did they send to the OF, and who did they turn into a pitcher. This is the stuff that is hard to find any info on.
  7. Thaiss isn't rangy enough for 2b or 3b, maybe a corner fielder at some point when we trade our OF prospects for pitchers.
  8. This kid has been in pro ball for 17 months, I think he has time to become solid at 1b, and add a little muscle. He also looked good last spring playing with the big boys.
  9. I saw this guy last summer at 220lbs Nonie runs a 6.4, and throws 96MPH from the outfield with a very fast bat. He hits lefties very well and is adjusting to his all righty approach at the plate, and still 19 years old. Everything that I read on him said he was a huge athlete that would take years to develop I don't think I would give up on him yet...Hell trade him for pitching!
  10. Sign a obvious replacement and maybe Albert can see even with his bad eyes that he is hindering the squad. Besides I think he can draw Social Security next year also.
  11. Good move, we are loaded with bigger and stronger outfielders right now.
  12. Now that we have all of these athletes in our system, do we have the staff to teach, and turn them into real ballplayers?
  13. Nonie is hitting .246 and .435 off of lefties.........we need to face more lefties!
  14. Lets start giving Albert 4-5 days off each week and let it sink in that he is irrelevant at this point. Does he really want to end his career like this? Maybe he will collect his things and go home.
  15. Pete Rose should of just tested positive for opium or stab his pregnant girlfriend in a elevator like everyone else and he would of been in the HOF, But hell no, he went and placed a bet on a baseball game.
  16. He needs to suck sometimes, it will teach him to struggle and overcome a valuable tool moving forward.
  17. Don't forget that Matt Thighs had a pretty good spring and held his own with the big boys. He has only been a pro for 12 months, I still like him.
  18. Way Too early for that optimism, this spring his bat was very inconsistent, and I thought his catch and throw was in need of much help. Both can get better, he has time.
  19. We don't even have the levers or the moving parts to be a contender next year without getting the checkbook out.
  20. They were measuring hydration 3 times a day, and making players sit down and drink water until their levels came up. More injuries happen when your dehydrated is now the belief I guess.
