    Physically, sure. But his stuff isn't even close to what Lincecum's was at that point in his career. That said, he's done very well so far, & I still agree with the decision the org. made to keep him at the MLB level. It was great to see Roenicke cut him loose for two innings last night!

    I didn't bother reading the article, because if you go to Morales's BB-Ref.com page, you find the following -

    I know it's been a bit en vogue to hate on Morris but if you take the 8 minutes to listen to that interview you will be better off for it. I still have hope for Morris -- I think he's easily a better bat than Overbay for the RH side of the 1B platoon. Probably has as much raw power in his swing as anyone in the organization not named Braun or Reynolds.

    Let's keep in mind that we're all of 7 games into the first season where MLB is using a replay & challenge system. Naturally, the first time Roenicke burns his challenge earlier in the game, doesn't get the call overturned, & the replay challenge could've been used late in the game, the majority on this board will crucify him.

    You could read the lips of the young man (in a Phillies hat & red hoodie) who came away with that third Braun HR ball in the LF bleachers -- other fans were imploring him to throw it back... he shook his head 'no', & said, "It's RYAN BRAUN". http://i.imgur.com/0016Rds.jpg

    1) I really like Roenicke the guy, and am ok with him as manager even with some complaints. One of those is what you talk about -- riding bullpen arms too long. 2) I love the idea of guys like Thornburg, Smith, & Wang just being turned loose when they're pitching well.

    TC07, hope you don't mind me taking the liberty of starting this. Felt this tidbit warranted discussion, & time is right to move away from an 'offseason'-titled thread. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Pirates beat writer Bill Brink tweet: From the Pirates' official Twitter account:

    Updates on the Sawx today, from the club's official Twitter account: - Grade 1 calf strain for Will Middlebrooks. He goes to 15-day DL. - Pre-game updates from Farrell: Koji, Carp, and Sizemore are all available today. Breslow will make 1 more start in Pawtucket Monday. And the sun is at least cooperating today after a chilly one last night... great visual:

    Poor guy -- he must've hit the ball pretty hard (albeit on the ground) to give Haniger a shot to throw him out.

    YOU MONSTER! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!1!1!! HOW WILL CHRIS CARPENTER EXPLAIN IT TO HIS SON?!?

    Weeks's contract isn't close to killing the team.

    Plus Gindl has manned CF in Nashville the past two seasons.

    After a loonnng day, this post was great

    What he said!

    Dave?
  16. TooLiveBrew
    Heck, with Wang, it's two lefties that can touch the mid-90s!

    You heard it on BF.net first -- David Denson! I realize he's probably a decent bet to join up with one of the short-season clubs once their seasons start (a la Coulter in '13), but you never know. It's going to be exciting to watch him face A-ball pitching.
  18. TooLiveBrew
    Maybe it's as simple as us disagreeing, but as I laid out in the OP, the "now" timing would be to sell as high as possible & capitalize on the prized service time. Naturally it downgrades the positional side of the MLB club in the short term, but as is probably evident from other posts, I wouldn't manage the MLB roster/organization in the same way that Melvin & Co. do. If you're netting an elite-talent-tier SP under team control for 5+ seasons, the team could be even a bit better than it is today.

    This organization just seems like a mess on the farm.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well my bracket is officially busted. I had Louisville playing MSU in the final (and winning it all). But what a great game, from tip to final buzzer! That is honestly one of the best tourney games I've ever watched -- supremely competitive, & filled with great athletes & great plays. And oh yeah, by the way... all the other games today were fantastic as well. I really wish I would've recorded UVA-MSU & watched it in its entirety after UK-UL.

    Nice to see some Brewers prospect love for once! The lack of a system makes that kinda rare.
  24. TooLiveBrew
    This is exactly how I feel on Thornburg. Plus, in terms of his development, I think it's more important at this point for him to continue to be challenged with MLB hitters as opposed to being fully stretched out for being 'first man up' from AAA. And on top of that, I can guarantee you Tyler is happier to be collecting a big-league paycheck & living the dream of The Show than he would be to grind it out again in Nashville.

    Kottaras > Overbay. That was the extent of it. Not too in-depth about loving Kottaras or anything.
