    Hader to the rotation confirmed

    Had a similar thought. If the Crew is out of it at the deadline, that Dodgers farm system is ripe.

    This smells right: It's a $1M bet for the Dodgers. They can afford it. Low risk, low probability of high reward. I wonder if they're the only ones who'd offer a major-league contract.

    I expect Cain to bounce back in a big way this year. So I sure hope they don't trade him. Unless it's to somebody who's expecting the same, for a big return.

    Hader for Correa *ducks and runs away*

    I bet Stearns has a computer algorithm for team chemistry. I’m actually serious about that... this is something I’m not at all worried about. He has a Brent Suter for team chemistry.

    controllable young talent

    Ooh, I do like the darker blue version of the classic logo. I wouldn't go buy new gear as a result of any of the other tweaks, but that one, maybe.

    I have this weird combination of opinions: 1) They totally did something just to do something and probably should have just gone with the original. 2) The new one looks fine and I'm pretty excited for it.

    Does it? It's true that you can spend money to get talent. But you can also get talent without spending a lot of money. A small market team needs to build around that. One of the most exciting features of the org these past couple of years is that they seem to have gotten better at it.

    What we know: * They're freeing up cash. * They have a lot of avenues for improvement. (C, SP, 3B, SS, now both halves of 1B platoon) * They haven't made a lot of big-money, long-term signings. (Basically just Cain in the past few years.) * They value versatility, depth, and cost-effectiveness. What we don't know: * Do they have a specific plan for the money they've saved today? (I doubt it.) * Do they have particular areas of need they're focused on? (You could argue that today is evidence that SP and 1B are lower priorities than we thought, but I would tend to disagree.) * Do they have particular free agents (or trade partners?) they're focused on? What I tend to think is there are probably a bunch of potential uses for the money being freed up, but there's also still a lot of uncertainty. There's not a specific plan, but there are several that look juicy enough to justift dumping a couple of short, non-terrible contracts for merely-not-terrible players.

    Seconded. I really don't understand this philosophy. Is this what the cool kids are doing or something? My brain says "no" but my heart says "maybe?".

    I'd obviously rather have had a five-game series than a one-game series (away, at that). But on the bright side, I think we match up better against the Dodgers in a five-gamer than in a seven-gamer. And then if the Cards are the draw in that seven-gamer, I like our odds. Although it may be bad for my blood pressure. And then of course it will be an honor to lose to Wade Miley's team.

    Hoping for an appearance from April 2017 Eric Thames.

    It was nice to see Burnes get a chance last night. He was only going to get a chance with a big lead, I think. And I think that's still true: he can get some work if they get some big leads.
  16. josh
    I'm against driving under the influence. Unless we're talking about line drives.
  17. josh
    are they SIGNIFICANT cash considerations, Bob?
  18. josh
    You trade dreaming on Dubon's upside for dreaming on Black's upside and Pomeranz's upside in the pen (or maybe once through the order). And at least the new guys are on the mound, where we have the need. Hard to be mad, for me. Also, I did *not* want Bumgarner, so was relieved it wasn't him. I like to like the players on the team. (Miss you already, Jesus.)

    Second time I’ve seen the phrase today now and I think I might just name my new band “The Burch Smiths of the World”

    People will complain no matter what, that's for sure. One only needs to look to Boston. People would. I wouldn’t.

    Could not agree more. This is entertainment. It's entertaining when they're in the mix and it's not when they're not. It'd be fun to win it all, too, but after that... it would be entertaining when they're in the mix, and not when they're not.
  22. josh
    Looking forward to Suter’s return soon, too.
  23. josh
    2020 third string? Or second if Nottingham or Pina can’t hack?
  24. josh
    Chacin will just have to help his own cause with a dinger or two.
  25. josh
    Nothing against Yelich - I wouldn't be *sad* if we extended him - but I like that Stearns seems to like to spread his chips around.
