  1. This is more like McDonald's, Apple, or Walmart being out of stock on things, which they readily report. Your comparison is apples and rubber dog poo.
  2. Because we're their paying customer base? if they're only going to trot their best player out there 2/3 of the time, and the 1/3 of the time he's out it's a substandard product, I'd want information before paying money to see the product.
  3. It appears the Yankees top SS prospects - Peraza and Volpe - are more likely to stick at SS than the Twins top SS prospects, so a non-superstar stop-gap might very well be what they need/want.
  4. "one year of Gray in a non-competitive situation and another where they *might* contend does very little for me." I acknowledged that it's two years.
  5. Hence why I said one year of non-competitive (2022) and another (2023) where they might be able to depending on the development of the in-house arms.
  6. I dislike this move as much as I liked yesterday's. Sonny Gray, a likely 3 (or 2 if you squint really hard), is a guy a contender picks up to get them over the hump. I don't think this team is built to win this year and next year depends mostly on how the in-house going starters develop. A young, potential high impact arm for one year of Gray in a non-competitive situation and another where they *might* contend does very little for me. Now, if they go get an actual #1 and a few bullpen arms so they can actually content this year, then I can be convinced to not hate this move.
  7. I'm also on team "Kepler Doesn't Belong on This List." Not a superstar, but provides positive value and top-notch defense. I'll agree with most other names people have thrown out in the comments - Adam Johnson was the first name that came to mind with me. One I won't agree is JT Chargois. True, didn't pan out for the Twins, although he didn't get a huge opportunity, but he was pretty good with the Dodgers in 2018 and was outstanding last year with Seattle and Tampa.
  8. So who wants to tell me I was right all along first? We can start a line if it makes it easier for everyone. I was mocked when I questioned the offseason. I was laughed at when I said the Sox were the clear division favorites. I was questioned when I said to bet the under on the 88.5 wins Vegas predicted. People thought me crazy when I said this team had 2011 written all over it. I'll wait ...
  9. Explain this versatility to me. He can't actually play ANY position at a big league level. Occupying space in the vicinity of a position is not being versatile.
  10. It's a joke that Rooker isn't on this team but Astudillo is. Might as well just give TC Bear a glove and call it a day.
  11. Honestly, I'm more concerned about Buxton and his inability to stay on the field than I am with Max.
  12. Here's the real question though: Does Shoemaker make a handful of starts and then go on the IL? OR He starts the season on the IL - probably lingering shoulder issues from last fall - and debuts in July so it's "just like trading for an impact arm"? So many choices.
