    I could see it shaping up more like a platoon with Davis, but I still think it's going to be like having four starters in the OF. Parra will shuffle around and end up playing as much as Davis. I think Gomez and Braun play much more than the other two, but I think RRR would be smart to give Braun days off on a regular basis.

    I really like the collection of guys we have in the pen. Not a lot of risk, money wise. Could give us trade bait again. K Rod makes me nervous when I'm watching him pitch, but he has been pretty darn solid over the last few years. This bullpen reminds me of the team put together by the Indians in Major League!!!

    It's a great day when there is spring training activity! Can't wait for some spring highlights!

    Oh wow I didn't realize you got all that at this price. That might be worth looking in to more and trying to bring that price down.

    Why would you want to cancel the auto renew??? (In blue) Thanks for the heads up. This just got me excited for my 2015 subscription. Love it.

    Man talk about a tough call. I would have to say Belichick because I see the NFL as the toughest place to create a dynasty. He's got Brady to help him with that, but what great coach doesn't have great players? You can obviously make a case for all these guys, but I will go Bill.

    Congrats Game05! Glad it is finally working out!

    No risk here. I like scrap heap bullpens!

    I'm not sure if Directv will start a show from the beginning if you hit record on it part way through, but several shows allow you to restart the show from the beginning if you missed the start. I did have a service that would start the recording from the start if you did hit record, part way through. It's out there. Broken leg yoshii, that's not cool.

    Yes he sure was ugly. I love this event, it's so great for the game! I wonder if having just one event like this is good, and gives the fans some excitement, or if more events should be like this. I'd worry the novelty would wear off, but I do think it would attract a lot of new fans. Less of a gentleman's game and more of a football atmosphere. I'd really have to think about that.

    I will have to disagree and say that it would be an arbitrary terrible rule that would unnecessarily complicate and prolong the game and make no impact on anything. What is the penalty, a do-over? Lefties most certainly do not face a disadvantage, they are closer to first base and have the platoon advantage 70% of the time. Plus the great sluggers can overcome the shift anyways, last time I checked Ortiz was still putting up big numbers with 2 second basement and 2 right fielders every AB. As other have pointed out the arbitrary-ness of an infield shift rule is asinine. Why can outfielders shift? Why can pitchers try to pitch on the corners? Why can you pitchout? Why can you hold runners, why can you bring in an extra IF with the winnings run on third...basically, why would this be the only defensive strategy that is somehow outlawed? Good points. My initial reaction was this is terrible. Then I thought, maybe it could have a simple rule, like two IFs per side of 2nd, but you are right, how do you enforce that? I think you are swaying me back to my original take, let the batters figure it out and they will stop doing it.
  12. RobDeer 45
    I agree with the idea that the or 3b must start left of 2nd base. I guess that still lets you shift a bit and isn't a terrible rule. I think I way overreacted. I was thinking you had to start in a little box type deal at the start of pitch, like it would be very restricted. I do agree lefties do face a disadvantage, but I also think they should learn to hit to all fields. That would take care of a shift.
  13. RobDeer 45
    Totally agree! It's a very addictive show!
  14. RobDeer 45
    What a joke this would be. Can't even say anything else because it would make me so mad.
  15. RobDeer 45
    I too hope he can come back to form. He is fun to watch and easy to cheer for. Would give us yet another option for closer/setup person, which would be huge.
  16. RobDeer 45
    Initial reaction, ohhhhh mannnnn really?!??! After thinking about it, if they eat salary and we don't give up much, he could be a nice addition. Gives us options and back up plans for closer/setup. He was very solid last year. He scares me, but if it works out that we aren't spending/giving up to much, I think it's worth a shot.

    Game of Thrones is pretty awesome. On to season 4! I'm hooked.
  18. RobDeer 45
    That's what came to my mind right away. Hope he's good!
  19. RobDeer 45
    Need a little help wrapping my brain around who's close to helping us out. I feel like I know a lot of the guys but have a hard time keeping straight, who's getting close to helping out or could have a starting gig at the big leagues.

    Would Hamilton come back once Uecker is done? Did he ever talk about doing radio long term? I guess I've never heard anything nor have I ever heard any speculation.
  21. RobDeer 45
    Yes my friend just brought up how much he liked Hamilton in there and I totally forgot about that. He was great to have in there. I like Block but he's that much better when there is a little flavor mixed in with him.
  22. RobDeer 45
    What's our take on block these days? Thought I'd bring this thread up with the signing of the new radio guy taking over for Ueck on road games he doesn't travel to.
  23. RobDeer 45
    This made me laugh.
  24. RobDeer 45
    Exactly how I feel. I believe DM needs to think of guys as gone the year before their contract is up (like Yo this year). They need to be traded the year before they go, so we always have something coming in for them. If we can't extend them before the final year of their contract we have to assume they are gone, and therefore be traded. Even if it hurts us in the current year, it's better for the long run. The only time he shouldn't do this is when we have a very special team (not to be confused with above average). I thought the twins did a great job of before they got caught in an impossible situation with Mauer. I'm all for the trade because at least we have something coming in. In my opinion Yo isn't worth anything to us.

    I just thought about this topic yesterday as I was reading threw a thread and wasn't sure about a few people's avatars. Or just why they had what they had. I was plesently surprised that there were some old topics in 2008 and later with the exact same idea. So let's hear it, why do you have the avatar you have? Mine is pretty simple. I was looking for a picture that best showed the true spirit of Rob Deer. Flowing red mullet, aggressive swings. We can probably guess, that in this picture of him, he either struck out swinging or hit a massive home run, and that's why I like it!
