  1. The thing about Darvish is that if and when he goes on the table, every serious contender is going to want in. And the Yankees are likely to blow everyone else out of the water by a lot. In general, there seems to be an awful lot of serious contenders with strong farms in the Yankees, Dodgers, Astros, and Rockies.
  2. Duane Underwood appears headed for Trey McNutt level of oblivion.
  3. Kyle Schwarber for Aaron Judge and Dellin Betances: who hangs up first?
  4. I'm not going to lie, I'm not finding baseball as enjoyable as I was last year at this time.
  5. I don't know about "really good prospects," but even the most middling, veteran starting pitchers become attractive by mid-late summer. They'll get something of use.
  6. Something tells me they weren't exactly struggling prior.
  7. Is a Vargas/Cain package realistic?
  8. Would somebody kindly refresh my memory regarding Dakota Mekkes? I remember some degree of buzz when drafted, but was he viewed as a late round gem or simply a decent pick?
  9. When Thames and Braun were out, it seems that they'd been playing some Gardenhire-era Twins ball, based on box scores anyway.
  10. Wow, when Jake loaded the bases for Thames and Braun, I tuned out and expected to tune back in to something awful.
  11. How did Aaron Judge happen and is he for real?
  12. Is Mike Trout real or is he a video game create-a-player come to life?
  13. that's a man who took Trump's message to heart "Still trying to figure out what part of the constitution this violates... :-k" Ironically, this sums up Donald's decision making process.
  14. They are 11-5 in the month of May, including 8-2 for their last 10 (though the last 7 were vs. the Broken Mets and Padres.) Not saying they're even almost legit, but they're certainly on a hot streak; and without Braun and Thames for much of it.
  15. Is there rekindled hope for Dillon Maples, or is it just another 25 year old dominating 21-22 year olds kind of a thing?
  16. Could be the start of our turnaround by seizing back first place. Let's first worry about getting out of fourth place. With just over 4 1/2 months to go? But how?

  18. http://www.bleachernation.com/2017/05/07/brett-andersons-game-and-roster-exit-the-long-term-plan-and-who-comes-next/ So Montgomery has to be 1st in line, right? It's not like there's a trade market yet.
  19. Kind of the opposite. In 2009, we were fresh off an epic let down, and hoping for Milton Bradley to somehow be the magic piece that brings the puzzle together. This has more of a they just won the horsefeathering World Series and are capable of winning a few more. I mean it would be nice to see our starting pitchers getting rocked a little bit less, but all in all, it's a completely different feeling. Like, a lot.
  20. More likely to fall into the Brandon Guyer/Justin Bour category of latching on with some other team in a few years, and being decent enough to be acknowledged, but not regretted.
  21. If these guys had been keeping up with their towel drills, none of this would be happening.
  22. There's a guy at work with the same terrible grandmother luck. In the grand scheme of things, isn't every old lady our grandmother?
