  1. Teel is a highly-rated catcher. Good approach, with limited power.
  2. I'm not disagreeing with most of your thesis but the "7th in runs scored" argument is hollow. They beat up a bunch of awful teams. The offense did not consistently score runs They were 15th in HR, 11th in SLG. Not awful, but not 10.
  3. I edited it so it won't fake anyone else out.
  4. Boston is looking for a place holder SS until Mayo is ready and they are hanging with NY and Baltimore. Who says no, Boston or the Cubs?
  5. there is more to hope on than those three, but I feel you. I honestly think that Morel is going to turn into a superstar. He needs more seasoning and probably better coaching, but he has the talent level.
  6. It depends on who they can get for Steele. If its some low A baller with pedigree and potential, that's a hard sell.
  7. One thing I didn't expect with this team is the sloppy defense.
  8. I don't think that is true. I think Hoyer saw a manager in his dugout who was not capable of getting the team to where he wanted it to go and one came available. Hoyer's fatal flaw is picking guys like Happ, Hoerner, and Swanson to build a team around. They are good players, but not difference-makers. If you add up the money spent on them it will get you to a pretty high payroll, but a mediocre team. Also, and I'm not absolving anyone here, the injuries have hurt quite a bit, especially in the pen. That said, Hoyer needs to go, but he's a mini-Tommy Boy.
  9. I used to think that things would turn around for this team. I no longer think that. They are merely a bad team, not awful, just bad. There is not one player who is going to make them a better team. They need a thumper like Alonso (but maybe not him), they need closer, and they need guys in the pen who can throw strikes. Some of this stuff is just baseball unpredictability, but a lot of it is systemic failure by the organization.
  10. I figured you'd be watching the CWS.
  11. Last night Severino was dealing with great movement, command, and velocity.
  12. I don't like this draft, please do another one where they get Tibbs or Moore
  13. I used to listen to these West Coast games as I was going to sleep with my earbuds. Then I'd fall asleep around the 3rd. In the 5th inning, I'd invariably be woken up by Zack screaming in my ear about a double play or warning track fly ball. I don't do that any longer.
  14. Getting a little chippy for Bolivia
  15. They need this game to have a .500 home stand. They are starting to crawl out of it a bit. The Cardinals took it to the Giants. Hopefully the Cubs can too.
