Please someone tell me some reasons why I should be excited about acquiring aforementioned Gausman

I like the threads of concentrated opinions on some of the guys the majority of people aren't talking about (Hader, Brinson, Phillips, Hiura, etc.).

Kind of just a philosophical question I guess because I don't pretend to know all the in's and out's of scouting and technical changes with a player, but with such a history of success at college's highest level matched with speed and consistent hard contact why do teams draft a player and then make large swing or stance adjustments immediately? I get trying to tap into some potential power or average or whatever but if a player has had consistent success and they're drafted very highly like Ray or Jungmann (and plenty of others) or traded for like Brett Phillips and immediately told to change, wouldn't that hurt their psyche? I think Ray could be a small adjustment away from sky high confidence and hard contact again but for all of these high profile prospects I always wonder what if a team hadn't tried to change everything about them and continue on their upward trajectory.

Love all these knee-jerk reactions. He hasn't been the player we all hoped when he was drafted but to call him a bust is just silly. Glad you guys aren't running a team. What exactly have Benson and Lewis done (other than being over 6') that has been so impressive thus far? I also don't believe front offices care about a couple prospect lists and where a guy fits on them. Trying to "sell high" on a guy ranked second before he slides to fifth seems nitpicky and forum based to me, don't you think? Way too early to tell if it was a whiff or not. If he bats .280 next season with good K/BB rates and I hope everyone bashing him eats crow instead of sitting silent. People have up and down years and hopefully this is no exception.

Davies over Nelson and Chase Anderson for pitcher of the year? And Suter over Hader?

+1 It's funny how the perceptions of people literally change on the drop of a dime. Especially on a forum.

+1

+1. Also gives us reason sometimes to back down from our hard-headedness. Lol.

Maybe more seriously does Darnell Coles?

Their corner fielders are Almonte, Guyer, and Austin Jackson. So, in the outfield. Not his question. He'd slot right in to our open DH spot

Have you watched this game? The pen isn't great but Counsell has managed it incredibly poorly tonight. It's easy to say what the correct call was in hindsight. What CC has to work with are a bunch of square pieces to put in round holes. His best bet might be turning to position players for the 6-7-8ths.

It's comical reading through all these pages when it's negative comment after negative comment. A bunch of crap in the pen and we all act like we could manage it better than CC. Laughable.

ok.

All praise Brewcrewin07, for he is competitive and can't handle losing.

.. and that would have fixed our bullpen problems? Knebel has been great. We needed to replace about 5 guys... not 1. Who knows but Holland would of been closing and Knebel would of been 8th inning guy. It's also cute to say that with hindsight 20/20 vision. I for one was totally on board with the Feliz signing and thought he'd put up great numbers here. With that velocity how could he struggle? Boy was I wrong. Looking back of course we should have signed Davis or Holland. The problem is you never really know what you're getting with a reliever.
