indubitably -
I have elephantiasis of the balls and Ricketts still puts me to shame
-
[expletive]
-
I'm really glad this marginal McNutts thing is happening.
-
Friggen beautiful, man... Bye Vitters and Chris Carpenter
-
Even with all that money its highly unlikely we have multiple starting pitching prospects MLB ready in such a short time-frame.
-
If we have 5-6 better pitching prospects in 2 years than McNutt I will [expletive] myself from excitement.
-
Didn't catch that one.. I was listening on the drive into work, but admittedly not too attentively. Getting ready for his coronation confirmed.
-
I thought Hendry broke the news of the Hendry firing. Or was it Ricketts?
-
I sure hope not, there's plenty of time for due diligence and the such even still. You don't need a PI to know that Fielder hits up Burger King every day.
-
In Epstein We Trust. Have no problem with Ryno since we will have an organizational philosophy in which everyone will play along. Ryno under Hendry was a different ballgame. With Ryno and Theo on board, and I'm assuming this is basically all but done at this point, Chicago media must be having a wet dream.
-
I can't get over how awesome Ricketts is.
-
That's what I'm talking about Olnmeister.
-
My name sounds really similar to farts.
-
Isn't there a good GM out there that Theo can hire without compensating another team. Once this Epstein mess is over, and lordy hopefully soon, repeating this process doesn't appear to be optimal. And like WSR said, I certainly wouldn't assume San Diego to be any easier.
-
I'd roll with Battle, even with the Raiders bi-polar run defense.
-
I picked up Torain to roll with in my flex spot for the rest of the year, hopefully. And he's playing Carolina this week with Beck at QB, no brainer. Unless you're scared of Shanahan's carousel, which is always possible. VJax is a must start when healthy. But he's still hurting and going up against Revis. Should I start Colston over him?
-
How did I forget about Rich Gannon. Crazy Raiders FO, now it all makes sense.
-
I think toonster hit the nail on the head regarding McNutt as going from a bit overrated to underrated based on some of these comments. This guy is not far away from the bigs.
-
It's not as bad as you seem to think on the pitching side. We should have a fairly intriguing trio in the AA rotation next year if McNutt is around (something like McNutt/Rhee/Antigua, with Whitenack possibly coming back late in the year, with maybe Beeler in that A+/AA mix). The AAA rotation could have Struck, Rusin, Coleman, J. Jackson, etceteras, depending on how Rule 5 goes. The real hope pitching wise lies in the lower levels, where we have an excellent crop of young arms with high ceilings with guys like Wells, Maples, Paulino, Peralta, Cruz, Liria, Jensen (if he starts), Kyler Burke, Reed, and a couple others. There's some solid lefty options in the system as well (aforementioned Cruz and Antigua, along with Del Valle, I still like Hicks a bit, and then the average stuff, end of rotation hope guys like Rusin/Raley/Jokisch/Rosscup/Harman). It's not a great pitching system yet, because there aren't many great upper level pieces, but the system as a whole, I wouldn't really call it pitching-starved. I messed up. I'm intrigued by the lower level guys and like the direction the farm is taking there, but when I typed that I was thinking of upper level guys that can help in a year or two. But I always welcome you dropping that minor league knowledge, much appreciated.
