    It's not just TJS with Brown, though, because he puts a ton of strain on the rest of his body. He didn't look anywhere close to being the same guy last year after he went down with an oblique strain and struggled in his comeback. If they can get 100+ IP out of him as an SP this season, awesome, but I've always had him earmarked as a dynamite closer for this reason.

    Assad might be our second best SP right now. And yes, that's a compliment.

    It sincerely annoys me how long it takes the NFL to go from Super Bowl to the Draft. They can do this horsefeathers in March.
  4. Outshined_One
    Have at it!
  5. Outshined_One
    Sigh. FIIIIIIIINE.

    Any one of them is perfectly in line to get the call when Hendricks goes down with a phantom injury next month. Just sayin'.

    ESPN just posted a lengthy article on the move to Sacramento. Woof.

    *record scratch* "I know you're thinking, 'Torrey, how did you get here?' Well, it's a funny story..."

    Still not trusting this bullpen, but I love this offense.
  10. Outshined_One
    I see the bullpen still needs some ironing out.

    I think both are true at this point. There's depth in the college ranks, but this isn't like past years where we're likely to see a guy go wire-to-wire as the favorite to be the #1 overall pick, or with a group of HS players who have been followed under a microscope since Little League (2022). As I stated elsewhere, this seems like the sort of draft where the combined career MLB WAR for picks 11-20 ends up being higher than picks 1-10. That being said, while the HS guys are a bit underwhelming at the moment, there is a decent amount of potential in that group and we're still early in the season. This could be the sort of year where we see a bunch of pop-up guys from cold weather high schools show up in the first 100 picks.

    This is going to be one of those games where, six months from now, you look back at the lineup and are shocked at how much has changed since then. It's like looking back on the 2015 team and seeing starting lineups with Mike Olt at 3B and Starlin Castro at SS in April.

    A's to Sacramento for 2025 - ? Thread title updated.
  14. Outshined_One
    I have zero interest in trading for 2025 picks with teams likely to make the playoffs next year.
  15. Outshined_One
    Credit where it's due! That game wouldn't have been played roughly a decade ago before they completely overhauled the drainage.
  16. Outshined_One
    You've been here nearly 20 years. You know how we do.
  17. Outshined_One
    Good win. Let us never speak of it again.
  18. Outshined_One
    Makes it into a two base error, sure.
  19. Outshined_One
    Outs, please.

    It's why I think Horton and Brown end up in the pen this year. Yeah, you can sometimes find a gem among reclamation projects, but when most of your pen is reclamation projects, woof.
  21. Outshined_One
    You had a quick game of it, too!
  22. Outshined_One
    Pft. Amateur. Try being a grognard with no shelf space left for new war games. Still kicking myself over missing the latest GMT COIN release.
  23. Outshined_One
    I just don't see how they get this one in, even if the weather clears up. The field is going to be a complete mess since it's been snowing and raining all day, and the warning track is going to be a minefield for the unwary.
  24. Outshined_One
    You should be fine! The snow isn't sticking. ...yet.
  25. Outshined_One
    Last year was stacked thanks in part to COVID mucking everything up in 2020. I don't think we'll see a draft like that again for a long, long while. This year feels decidedly muddled, like I wouldn't be surprised if the combined career MLB WAR of picks 11-20 ends up higher than picks 1-10.
