  1. Sogard with his weekly hit to keep him in the lineup the next 10 games.
  2. Peralta can be so good at times. If he can ever get some consistency he can be special.
  3. I like Woodruff and he's far and away the best we've got but he really needed to shake off that Kipnis at bat and get out of the inning.
  4. Are we past the point of saying how early it is and starting to realize we just aren't a good team.
  5. The one thing that I really don't get is this idea that this roster is better suited for a 162 game season. This depth that we keep hearing about is just not there. This is a bad roster whether the season has 60 or 600 games.
  6. I just don't see much upside on this roster. Sure Yelich and Hiura are way better than they have shown so far this season and Narvaez should be a good hitting catcher but the majority of this lineup is so bleak. Sogard and Smoak are probably not going to improve much and Garcia is incredibly overrated. We have one really good starter in Woodruff and hopefully a second decent one in Houser but the rest of the rotation is lucky to give us 5 decent innings. The bullpen is mostly solid but that is really the only strength this team has. I really hope they sell at the deadline if teams are willing to trade top prospects.
  7. We are going to be forced to trade Hader because we have just not drafted and developed well enough to fill the many holes that we have. If our scouts had done a better job we wouldn't have had to fill two offensive positions like first and third base with Sogard and Smoak who are both terrible players.
  8. Most every move they made last offseason was made to save money. Not that Thames is a star but they let him go to save a few million. I believe that Mark Attanasio forced Stearns to cut payroll everywhere possible and Stearns did what he could and the end result was signing a bunch of scrubs.
  9. The thing that I don't get is why fans think our farm system is anything other than terrible. The rest of the baseball universe has been saying that our system is the worst or close to it in the game yet homer fans are saying that it is good. I would like to believe that we have some impact talent in the system but I just don't see it.
  10. Great we can pick another middle of the diamond athlete that can't hit.
  11. LA is desperate to finally win a World Series and we need to use that depseration to pry Lux away as part of a Hader deal.
  12. Every prospect website and publication has our system at or very near the bottom of the league.
  13. Without Yelich being MVP level we have the worst offense in baseball.
  14. The minor league system is in shambles and we don't have the finances to sign star free agents. Unless we trade Hader I don't see how we improve this lineup. Signing scrubs off the scarp heap isn't going to keep us in contention.
  15. First of all let me say that he has done a great job before this last offseason but I disliked nearly every move that was made and this lineup is terrible. The minor league system is not close to providing any position player talent so I think we are at a crossroads. What can Stearns do to improve the fortunes of this team. I would start by moving Hader if the right offer presents itself and after that I would restructure the scouting department. Fact is we haven't produced anything of note out of Latin America in many years which has been a problem way before we hired Stearns as our GM. Stearns has stated that his goal is to be competitive and contend every year but I just don't see us being in that position with our lack of position player talent and a barren farm system. I would like to hear what others think of the state of this organization and what we need to see from ownership on down to improve our future outlook.
  16. Other than Yelich and Hiura who in this lineup is an above average hitter.
  17. Well we avoided the no hitter and the shut out.
  18. That's my thinking too. People say he should be given a shot. He has been given a shot. Two of them actually and he crapped the bed both times. We know what we have with Anderson and Lindblom. With Burnes the upside is tremendous and its up to this staff to get it out of him.
  19. Bottom line for me is that our coaches are not getting the best out of players like Hiura and Burnes. Its one thing for the Sogards and Smoaks to suck but Hiura and Burnes have legitimate talent.
  20. If Hiura can't make the adjustments necessary it would be disastrous for the franchise. I think a new hitting coach will help him.
