    Very, very good. Worth buying. It does get shown several times throughout the year though. Always around military based holidays.

    Problem is Gomez can't hit pitching well enough. The only reason he should be platooned is because your CF is terrible against LHP. Other than that, he is a bench guy.
  3. logan82
    If they want to know their role, you tell them they will be needed anytime after the 6th if our pitcher gets in a tough spot. What spot exactly, I odn't know but as the games went along I thing guys would get a feel for when that is.

    That is a strawman. I would have very little problem with leaving Weeks batting leadoff. In any one game it is pretty meaningless. The problem is that the manager's use of Gomez has been consistently poor at the start of last year and this year. I had hoped he had learned something about Gomez last year.
  5. logan82
    I guess it is the right choice if you want to ignore everything either player has done previous to this year.

    Gomez should not have even been on the field. Hart leading off with Green #2 would have been a much much better choice. Gomez should only face RHP late in games when he is in for defense. Morgan hits RHP very well and plays decent defense. Gomez is not a good hitter and almost all his value is in his glove. If Morgan could hit LHP at all he should be a full time player. Gomez is a defensive specialist who should only start if your starter is bad against LHP. Unless Morgan is hurt, Gomez should never p[lay against RHP and should never hit in the top of the lineup.

    I am going to keep using it until he stops doing really dumb things like batting Gomez against RHP and batting him lead off. That kind of crap is inconceivably stupid.

    Gomez leading off in CF against a RHP. Nice job DPR.

    Hey look two former Brewers SS on the list. We must have a fantastic SS playing for us to get rid of 2 guys that good.

    Sounds like posturing to me, I'm not sure you can make any predictions about signability until we see the rest of the Pirates draft. I still think the whole "going to school" is unnecessary leverage needlessly given to players that have less than a 50% chance of making MLB in the first place. Make everyone declare for the draft and stop the madness... if you don't like the team that drafts you then fine, go play indy ball otherwise sign with the team and take the guaranteed scholarship if you don't make it in baseball. Players being able to opt back into college if they don't get their money drives me nuts. On this stuff I'd like it to be black and white, either you're in you're out, no dipping your toe in the water and then changing your mind. No other league lets draftees have so much juice being so far away from contributing. I'm not sure you can fix the credibility issues out of Latin America with player ages, money under the table, and so on, but you sure can solve many problems by simply taking leverage away from the draft eligible amateurs, then come up with some kind of similar system that will work for international signings. I agree Do like the NBA. Declare and hire an agent, you are in an can no longer back out. or do it like hockey where a team retains their rights to you until 30 days after you leave college.

    If we started the year with the team we currently have I would say we are on the outside looking for the playoffs. We would need a lot of things to go our way to make it in. Unfortunately that isn't the position we are in. We are trying to dig out of a hole with our 2 best hitters dinged up. Winning the Dodgers series or losing the Pirates series doesn't really change my opinion except to give us fewer games to make up ground. I hope we have a nice month in June and get within a couple games of first, but unless we do, I think we should sell.

    Unless the catcher is an absolute hack behind the plate I will take the offense. With the running game in baseball generally not being as important the difference between the elite guys and middle of the road guys on defense is not as important.
  13. logan82
    I am not sure we can 100% blame Melvin. I think Mark A. has a big influence on how things are done. Found this way towards the bottom. That really bugs me. Things have taken a very different route since Mark bought the team. Which was fine when we had a nice built up minor league system. Not so good now though.

    It 's getting to the point where an uneventful day is going to bring the questions: "Nobody? Seriously?" There was a very interesting (and surprising) piece by Jayson Stark earlier this week at espn.com about the MLB-wide injury situation. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/page/rumblings120601/mlb-season-altering-injuries-just-keep-coming It is kind of skewed when you look at how many of the highest paid guys have gone on the DL since in general those guys are going to be older. I believe it would be considered selection bias.
  15. logan82
    Yes and no. I wouldn't mind him on a one year deal so you offer arbitration but I would not want him for more than a year at a time.
  16. logan82
    He just has a blind spot for Gomez apparently.
  17. logan82
    Speaking from the perspective of one who has worked either on or in close contact with a university campus for over 20 years, I fully agree. I concur. I am most bothered by this when I poop in while my wife is watching an HGTV-type show about decorating/renovating, etc. Every time the new room is revealed, the homeowner finds something that they are amazed by. Maybe it's a throw pillow, maybe it's a floor lamp, maybe it's a side table. Whatever it is, it is declared "amazing", often through tears. I have never been amazed by an ottoman or a bowl of lemons. The rooms are often fine, and sometimes really great. But a grouping of furniture should not amaze anyone. This is how I misread this.
  18. logan82
    I agree. Are you hurt or are you injured? Players try to play through injuries all the time. I don't see the big deal.

    That whole issue comes back to the roster construction problems. Now if that is on the manager or GM I don't know. I have to believe that if asked, Melvin would bring up somebody else to start or for the pen.
  21. logan82
    I like the contact play when other teams do it.
  22. logan82
    Tejada was worse than Betancourt defensively at SS last year when he played at SS for the Giants that is. Right, but I'd rather have him at this point than Renteria. I'd rather have Yuni back than either of them. You shouldn't curse like that.

    Ishikawa was a pretty useless part when we still had Gamel. He was a left handed backup 1B backing up a left handed starter. We only had Izturis backing up 2B, SS and 3B where 3B and 2B are guys who continually have health problems. I would have rested Lucroy on Sunday(day after nightish game). I don't have much issue with how Lucroy has been started this year. He has been getting more time off than last year. The personal catcher thing isn't to bad unless we face a lefty. If Hart does well at 1B I would actually prefer Gamel in RF next year. Unless the injury completely wrecks his speed. I think he is more athletic than Hart so Hart 1B, Gamel RF may be a better defensive alignment.
  24. logan82
    So he will be back on the field next week with a little help from the hitting coach.
  25. logan82
    If that is the case forget it. I am not sure if I would even be comfortable with a deal close to the Cain deal. Not having Greinke will certainly make things interesting for the next few years. We will see what Melvin is made of.
