It just amazes me that they spent the capital they did this off season just to end up with a roster with so many question marks and less than ideal comparability. I was really hoping those that thought Braun could grab 80+ games at 1B were right but that isn't looking good right now.

DS has said like 1000 times (yes, hyperbole) that he is good with the pitching staff/roster as it is. We can keep calling that GM speak but it's been remarkably consistent GM speak for many weeks now. You can't win a championship in April but you can sure as heck lose one. I think it matters a heck of a lot who occupies that last spot and that is why there are pages and pages dedicated to players who could affect that situation. There is no way I am going to find a way to be comfortable with Miley making any starts for this team.....ever. It might happen but I would consider that a failure if it results from any situation other than our rotation being completely decimated by injuries.

Yep. And the sanctimonious nonsense has been completely out of control.

Yeah, it was more about people not wanting to offend HH because they thought he really did have sources and were worried he would stop posting. It was sanctimonious and also frankly a little unfair to anybody who, quite rightly, challenged the notion that HH was an insider. Unfortunately the rules for courteous discourse don't apply as evenly as you might think. Dissenters and people with unpopular opinions are often accused of being disrespectful when they're really not; their only crime is having the nerve to challenge the majority or the thing that people want to believe. Then they end up being the disrespected ones, but that's considered okay because they had to be "corrected" as Delbert Grady might say. Great post. Unfortunately there are a few that will never be able to see it.

When he called the Yelich thing it was already being widely reported that the teams were talking. He made an educated guess. The second thing about stinging, that should have been obvious. Just re-read the first three posts in this thread. Thank you. This is what I mean about history being rewritten to fit the narrative we want. If you go back and read the history, when the Yelich rumors became well known, the first thing he said on it was 'news to me.' So at that point he shifted and said "95% Yelich to Brewers," when he and everyone else already knew Yelich had a very good chance of going to the Brewers. Here were other things he said: - Santana to be traded to an AL team - Brewers prioritizing Kipnis, then Walker - Smaller trade in the works - Brewers talking to Arizona about a deal - Brewers still to make multiple moves (after acquiring Yelich/Cain) - Brewers pushing hard to get Darvish (was revealed after the Cubs signed Darvish that the Brewers never really made an aggressive offer) I don't know if it's human nature or what, but people seem to remember the ones he hit and forget the ones he missed. It's pretty easy to look like an insider when you make sure to let people know when you called something that had a very good chance of happening anyway, and then chalk up the misses you have on "things change." I'd agree except to say he never really "hit" on anything.

This from Al Bethke’s blog. Good grief. Ugh, I could have lived without ever knowing that blog ever existed. Makes you wanna take a shower.

This from Al Bethke’s blog. Good grief. The minute he thinks his 15 minutes are up he reverses course.

Well, we still might. It doesn't really change anything that's already been discussed. The Cobb thread started before HH did so I'd say the board was already all over it. All HH was doing was claiming already available information\likelihoods and claiming them as his own. The landscape hasn't changed.
-
That is correct.
-
Yeah but wouldn't that have happened already? I mean, are these guys getting literally no offers? I can't wait for the postmortem on this off season.
-
Thanks for proving my point. Edit And as many have pointed out, and I agree, this just didn't happen.
-
Gotta love the people running to tell us they told everyone so. I guess it makes some feel good in their lives. Hold on now, you were one of the first and most aggressive toward those that made it clear that HH was full of it. Don't run and hide from that now. In fact, that group was a whole lot more aggressive than the group knocking HH. Sure, there was a lot of sarcasm, but no one really went after him with much vigor. The problem was that folks starting making a false narrative that he was actually predicting anything. When he started spouting off about not posting anymore because folks didn't believe him the, let's say believers, got all hacked off over nothing. I don't need an apology from the mods as I think it was handled well. I do think there are others that I can't say that about but those folks will never admit just how bought in they were to something some of us saw clearly.

Amen!

Crud, we didn't resurrect Ty Cobb?!?!?!?!?!

Especially with the Brewers ace throwing tomorrow Who is that again, I forget?

Honest question.........do you copy and paste your posts?

You mean, you’ll put down your rock and I’ll put down my sword, and we’ll try and kill each other like civilized people?

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in negotiating for a starting free agent pitcher against David Stearns when the playoffs are on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha... Pure awesomeness?

Anybody want a peanut? Oh please. He didn't really mean it. You have a great gift for rhyme.

Doggone it, I wanted that one.

Huh... I thought he meant that Cobb would sign on March 42nd. March 20, 2042 is how I read it. I think we are missing the bigger picture here. Let's all take a minute to be thankful that the source is no longer in danger and we can, once again, continue to receive the exact same kind of information we received when the source was in danger.

I'm holding out for the years supply of spam.

I consulted with my friend Occam and he confirmed by suspicions.
