    Two runs in the fifth, but he drops his ERA to 7.08. Speaking of second-round picks who suck, what does Vogelbach need to do to start hitting for power? Add some uppercut to his swing, even if it means more Ks?

    Daytona completely shut down by some random roster fill. Only a ROE through six innings
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    I honestly don't remember for sure, but how many of those guys came up and played immediately without interruption? Seems like there's a pattern of guys getting call-ups and send-downs for awhile before sticking.

    Teuvo is positionally sound, and correctly creates outlets and openings when the puck has been won by the D or wingers. His problem defensively is his strength -- can he win puck battles, check in the slot, lift sticks, and battles below the line? That's a pretty darn big part of being a center defensively. Ability to do that stuff is pretty much what makes the difference between a C and a W. I'm not saying he's going to suck. I'm just saying that I've seen a lot of guys get hyped in the offseason and then have a lot of trouble breaking into Q's lineup on a regular basis, and it wouldn't shock me if this guy had the same problem next year.

    dear lord I hope this was a joke. Yeah, you have to trade Rizzo first, otherwise your trading partners will have you over a barrel. That's a good thought, but I'm not sure Epstein and/or Hoyer will think of it.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Definitely this. Let it be known to top two or three guys on our board that we're willing to burn multiple picks worth of slots.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    Taking Schwarber could be a prelude to a Rizzo trade at the deadline.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    What does that even mean? I don't think that's a thing.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    That's all fine, but every time I've heard him talked about, it's been that his defense (partially because of his size) may prevent him from being a successful center in the NHL.

    http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/teuvo_teravainen/ I don't claim to be a hockey expert, but I watch the games and read the reports and didn't exactly make it up out of thin air.

    A shiny nickel. As I recalled, he wanted something crazy and way more than he was worth, because he didn't really want to sign.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Same old low we've been experiencing ever since this front office took over.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    It hasn't even been 12 months.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    I know that I'm being a little irrational about OBPs in the current offensive environment, but Starlin Castro's slash line is a little meh again.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    And maybe I'm selling Tivo or whatever short. HF ranks him No. 13 overall and talks about him as a No. 2 center prospect. It's just hard for me to see Q letting him take over that role when defense is a liability. He's like Patrick Kane at C instead of wing, and there's no way our coaching staff puts up with that from a center.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Kris Bryant should be our representative in the MLB all-star game.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's weird because HockeysFuture ranked them No. 4 overall recently, but it's just a ton of depth guys who could be 2nd or 3rd liners elsewhere but may not make the team here.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Tivo *could* be a second-line center. That's what fans desperately want him to be. But he's not defensively responsible enough and you know Q is going to hate that, so who knows how he'll be used. Morin should probably get more time. Clendening could conceivably take a third-line D spot. That's about it for potential full-timers. They have a bunch of guys who could get some bottom-6 minutes or maybe Rundblad (high-ceiling, low-floor D prospect) could get a cup of coffee.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    They always need a second-line center, and they're never going to get one. They mostly just need to plug in the normal 4th line schmucks and let the prospects develop.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's just really hard for me not to give the front office the benefit of the doubt until the team actually stops being on the very short list of best teams in the league.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Seabrook had a bad series, but I really don't see the need to trade away a top-pairing defenseman that has been key to our run.

  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Is something wrong with Kris?
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    The Kings had just iced the puck after a long shift, and thus had to keep tired players on the ice. The Hawks could change at will.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    Built-in excuse for the rest of the year if he struggles. Score!
