  1. 350k guy, Christian Pieters, gave up one hit today. Oh and 5 walks, 6 runs, and 0 outs recorded.
  2. That's not exactly what he said though. Those were the words Paul Sullivan put in his mouth. Hoyer said we are going to have some money to spend in the off season. He said it most likely won't be a splash but there is money to spend. By the way, between the recap here and the one there, did you catch any other stuff that's important, that maybe was glossed over?
  3. Great news, personally I hope it's longer than 6.
  4. That's not exactly what he said though. Those were the words Paul Sullivan put in his mouth. Hoyer said were going to have some money to spend in the off season. He said it most likely won't be a splash but there is money to spend. that could put a guy like Upton in play then. I can't see Greinke as an honest possibility.
  5. Soler has his right thumb/hand taped.
  6. Hoyer was on with @Kapman and said FA will be like it was last offseason, but in more volume. I guess that means more DeJesus/Maholm type signings. But maybe multiple pitchers?
  7. And someone's getting comfortable........[expletive] YEAH
  8. Baez hitting 6th tonight.
  9. http://t.co/GBldKRDl Ailment that's been bothering him since he got there.
  10. Indians seem like a fringe contender, at best, doubt Soriani would waive the NTC to go there. In fact, I'm thinking it may have to be a perfect situation to see him waive it for anyone. He may just want to stay here for the duration.
  11. Odds are pretty small, but as of today..... Jake Long, Duane Brown, Ryan Clady, Sebastian Vollmer, and Jermon Bushrod are all FAs in 2013, with the oldest of them being Bushrod at 29. All are top 10 LTs in the league. Brown got 6-53.4, with 22.08 guaranteed today.
  12. Chiefs Twitter says Soler not in lineup-manager's decision.
  13. I look at it as decent. Disappointing after his initial start. But he's young, so it's definitely still feasible to hope for a breakout from him.
  14. Not sure, but it would be a promotion anyway. Mooney's latest article says we were allowed one hire of a non supervisory person over a 3 year period and we used it on Matt Dorey, a national crosschecker.
  15. I don't see it. Isn't he the one with the ridiculous platoon split? I don't think it's THAT bad. .659 OPS against lefties. Certainly could be better, but I don't look at it as a dealbreaker.
  16. I really don't have an issue at all with that. Over the offseason, teams will be interested too and there's next to nothing available via FA. And honestly, if we don't receive something substantial in return, he can stay here, he's pretty solid.
  17. my guess is 70-80 mill.
  18. I think it fits with the "we want to be wrong less" strategy basically. The more guys in the room, themoreopinions heard, the better.
  19. I disagree too. I think it's a very legit promotion and one he's looking forward to tackling. I think him and McLeod are really tight and it wasn't hard for him to transition with the new group, with a main guy backing him from the beginning.
  20. Callis was asked about Watkins today and said he's got more upside than Barney.
  21. Sure. He's slightly better than Casey Coleman. Next.
  22. Not now. Other wildcard contenders would block for sure.
  23. I'm sorry if you feel insulted, but your line of thinking on this topic is very weird. It's like a Fox News viewer pissed at the NY Times for reporting on a story that would reflect poorly on a republican. It's not the reporter's job to do what you expect him to do. I understand the analogy but I don't think it really fits here. I do understand that I'm asking a guy I can't stand to handle something in a way I would have myself and that's borderline contradictory admittedly. The bottom line for me is I hope we find ourselves rid of Sullivan fairly quickly and I honestly think this could be the beginning of the end for him, because he obviously didn't endear him to the FO, even if they did make the original mistake here.
