    Lick my balls kyle I think this kid's got a real future. Wouldn't mind seeing him play every day to get a clearer idea of what we've got.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    I recant everything. All aboard the Olt train!
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yeah, it was the catcher, wasn't it? It was in the news that day.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    I was thinking cutters were associated with stress on the elbow, but if I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first time.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's not literally a breaking ball, I know, but it's a pitch being thrown in a slightly different way to add movement and has been associated with arm problems.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Didn't we go through this with Garza? When a pitcher has a big breakthrough on the back of throwing more of a breaking pitch (does a cutter count?), I worry about his ability to sustain it for more than a season.

    Looks to me like the primary point of contact was shoulder. It was high-ish and borderline dirty, and definitely dangerous, but it didn't remind me of Seabrook on Backes.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    All of a sudden Kalish has a 700+ OPS
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Did he swing at it?
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    He still looks kinda soft for a football player.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    I think Travis Wood just delivered the coup d'grace on Arroyo's career.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Agreed.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    Today? Sure. But after a week or two he'd hit 30 HRs the rest of the way.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    Baez and Bryant are the third and fourth best hitters in the organization, at least.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm not 100% convinced he wouldn't fare better than Olt has if he was brought up today. I'm 100% convinced he would.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Even when TINSTAAPP? Yes. This is higher on the Order of Aphorisms.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Always take quality over quantity.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Funny, I think that package proves my point. The impact guy we got was in A-ball. The near-ready guys we got were fringey.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Pitcher attrition also applies to Samardzija. And if they understand pitcher attrition, they also understand that pitchers don't have much of an aging curve and can usually be pretty successful immediately on hitting the big leagues. But yeah, I don't find most of that list to be out of line.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    It would take an extraordinarily dumb or desperate team to trade *that* much long-term control just for a little bit more certainty. I'm not going to say definitively such a team doesn't exist, but I'd be surprised.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Touched a bit of an irrational nerve here.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Because its entirely possible, likely in my opinion, that Vitters never does a single positive thing in the majors. I doubt he'll be able to erase the discrepancy between their [expletive] ML careers already. OK, we're including the BABIP-induced hole Vitters is already in? I can live with that. I thought you just meant going forward. Vitters could probably be a spare part in the majors, but there aren't many roster configurations that need a RH bench player who plays LF and 1b badly.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm fine with AAAA player. Other than the overrating his "looking overmatched at MLB," I'm fine with all your descriptions of him. I'm not clear on how that gives him an equal chance with Brett "17 Ks in 36 PAs at AAA" Jackson.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    I can't see how this is the case, seeing as how one guy is hitting at AAA and the other is not.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    That is beyond embarrassing. Well, there's no way we can be any more classless, might as well come back, win the series and troll the Blues even harder that way.
