    I am as happy about Grisham as anyone but he is hitting .252 with an .860 OPS on the year, nice but not so great it jumps him ahead of 28 other guys in half a season. I don't think he is having as good a season as Ray did last year. Plus he is a corner OF while Ray can play center in the majors, I guess he is 2 years younger but Ray's all around game still keeps him near the top of our system IMO. Grisham has literally not played any other position than CF this year, so I don't know why you would assume he is limited to the corners while Ray can play CF at this level.

    The supposed depth we had on our 40 this season was definitely overstated. There's a ton of dead weight in those last 10. Diplan, Jackson, Hart, Smith, Wilkerson, Taylor, and Saladino could all be DFAed/outrighted without anyone really batting an eye. I'm being kind as there are probably 3 or 4 other names that could be added to that list. Things have really reversed course from a supposed roster crunch. There's essentially no outfield depth on the 40, minimal infield depth, and the pitching depth is mostly dead weight.

    He's hitting great at AAA. He'll get another shot. Someone will get hurt or go into a slump at some point. Heck of an insurance policy to have if he's right. Can never have too many good hitters. We'll find a way to work them all in.

    You guys sure you want to trade for Dyson?

    If we get a good Aguilar back in the 2nd half, there's a chance.

    When we're taking consolation in the idea that at least our former MVP made contact while grounding into a DP, something is wrong. Why in the heck wasn't Yelich trying to steal 2nd during Braun's AB? He's running all the time this year, and that was a prime spot and he didn't. Agreed on both counts. "At least Braun GIDP instead of striking out" is not something that crossed my mind after that.

    You are great at throwing out these broad, general suggestions on how to fix everything wrong, in general simply recommending just replacing bad players with good ones. Not so much at making actual, concrete, realistic suggestions on how to do it. We don't have the money and/or trade capital to just externally fix everything wrong with the team. Sometimes the guys you have just have to be better.

    If Arcia is not your guy at short, for crying out loud just send him down already. Saladino has been in the starting lineup 2/3rds of the time since his callup. It's beyond ridiculous for a guy who, if he absolutely has to be on the 25, should be nothing more than a late inning defensive replacement. Let me be blunt. Roster management since the beginning of June has stunk. To levels that are really disappointing for a Stearns/Counsell level organization.

    For some reason I just believe the Dodgers are really not all that interested in a reunion. I think they are very cognizant of Grandal's non-offensive shortcomings and suspicious of his influence on a pitching staff. They have an amazing rotation and my personal opinion is that they are probably willing to live with a little less offense at that position and not stir the pot for their pitchers for a guy who they were clearly uncomfortable with in the postseason last year.

    Chacin is worth nothing. If anyone will take him, it's a salary dump. I'm fine with selling Thames and starting Jesus full time, but I wouldn't just give him away. Trading the rentals are probably a good move. I just don't think the return will overwhelm.

    Who? Marcos Diplan? Jacob Barnes? Taylor Williams? Donnie Hart? I would say a big difference between this year and last is that we DON'T have the pen reinforcements in the farm to save us late in the year like we did last season. Devin Williams could be last year’s Corbin Burnes. Don’t rule out Rasmussen or Andrews or Perdomo either. September’s pen will be shutdown again. So you are expecting 4 guys, who are nowhere near the top 100 type prospects that Burnes, Peralta and Woodruff were, and 3 of which have never pitched above AA, to come in and just be shutdown relievers at the MLB level this season? That is way, way more optimistic than I could possibly be. I think there's a better chance of Williams or Barnes figuring it out and being a factor than any of those guys really being major contributors down the stretch. I think you'll maybe, MAYBE see one of the four even crack the 40 this year.

    One decent starter missing did not cause the rest of the pitching staff to collapse. Burnes having a 8+ ERA and Barnes and Williams being gas cans this year has nothing to do with Miley. Miley wasn't even pitching for the first half of last season. Literally has nothing to do with what I said nor did I insinuate any of those things. I am simply saying not bringing him back was stupid. It was stupid. A lot of people thought it was stupid, even at the time it was not done. I've said, one page ago, that this team has far more problems than would be fixed by signing one guy or doing one trade. But the Miley thing was still stupid. I wanted Miley back. But we don't know even know if he wanted to come back for the same deal as he got from Houston. FWIW, his peripherals are not all that attractive. His BABIP is unsustainably low, his strand rate is unsustainably high. His FIP and xFIP are both 4.33, about league average. He plays in front of an elite defense-- playing in front of our mediocre defense, I'm not sure how attractive his numbers would really be. Would he be helpful, yeah probably, just because our pitching staff is that bad, but I doubt he moves the needle as much as his ERA in Houston seems to indicate.

    They can add payroll, don't believe that freaking fallacy...Get a TOR arm, a couple of lights out bullpen arms and how different does this team suddenly look?? How the heck are you going to add an ace pitcher and two lights out relievers with our limited trade capital competing with teams with great farm systems? What TOR pitcher is even available?

    Brewcrewin07, I honestly don't know what you are looking for them to do. They are not one big trade away from contention. Stearns cannot wave a magic wand and fix every problem on this team. They could trade every useful prospect and still wouldn't have nearly as good of a team as the Dodgers. They cannot add much for payroll. They simply aren't in a great position to contend.
  17. adambr2
    Well, that HR would have been cool after a clean top of the 10th.

    I really want to be sellers. Stearns wouldn't do it, and even if he wanted to, Attanasio would overrule him. There is ZERO chance in hell they could get the fans to be okay with that.. This is on DS..all on him..this team had problems awhile ago and instead of going out, being aggressive and getting someone, he just keeps thinking the players on the team will improve. This is what he gets...he has to own this. Period. I think just about every fan on here besides you would be ok with it. They simply aren't good enough.

    If you think this team has a chance to get to the World Series, you're kidding yourself.

    I'm sure Chris Hook is a nice guy. I'm sure he gives to charity and helps old ladies cross the street. But he needs to be fired.

    Burnes' value absolutely has taken a significant hit this year. Many teams would still take a chance on his arm, as they certainly should, but to expect him to be valued as a top 50 type prospect is simply not realistic right now.
  23. adambr2
    Probably should just be happy to be tied right now, as we were fairly close to squandering that.
  24. adambr2
    The Corbin Burnes transformation from bullpen stud to whatever this mess is has just been horrific.
  25. adambr2
    Wait, so you're not only not going to credit the HRs that Grandal hits to his OBP, you're actually going to penalize him for it? Yelich's OBP would drop to .227 if you do that with his HRs. That's how little sense that makes to do that. Cain has 4 HRs leading off this year, shouldn't you do the same with his OBP then?
