    This can go in the "Melvin wants 2 starters thread." I'm sure he wants good pitching even more than fans, since his job depends upon it.

    I couldn't stand Davis either by the time he left, but that statement is impossible to back up beyond your personal feelings. He is better than Suppan and Looper, period.
  3. Team Canada
    Agree with many of the above posts, I was hoping Doug would do this. Looper is bad and I'm glad I won't have to watch him give up homerun after homerun next year.

    Unless the money was dramatically higher than everyone else, I cannot fathom choosing Washington as the place you may end your career, given other options. As for pursuing Lackey in general, the problem, as it often is, is that it's not about the next 2-3 years, it's those 2-3 years after that that any deal will require. I'm not sure I want a 35-36 year old Lackey, regardless of how good he may be the next year or 2, especially when that will be 15-20% of our payroll.

    In fairness to Doug, he did almost get King Felix last year, which would have been amazing.

    I think this is basically where I am, too. If Gomez doesn't improve, then clearly it's a bad move by Doug. But I think of it this way: Scenario 1: Hardy bounces back, Gomez never improves Scenario 2: Hardy stays bad or average, Gomez never improves Scenario 3: Hardy bounces back, Gomez improves as Doug bets he will Scenario 4: Hardy stays bad or average, Gomez improves as Doug bets he will Yeah it's an oversimplification, but only one of those scenarios ends poorly for the Brewers. If Hardy doesn't bounce back, then I can't imagine doing better than this, and I don't see the point in debating who else he could have gotten, because there's no way we can know all of the options. At the same time, I'm not sure you can really include Cameron in this deal, because it's likely that Gerut + platoon partner would do no worse (or better) than Gomez next year, so you could've traded Hardy, let Cameron go, and still have all that cash to spread around (plus whatever player you got back in the alternate universe Hardy trade). I also think that this means there's no way Kendall can be back next year, and the comments from Doug so far indicate he's leaning that directly too. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I just hope Looper is gone..

    Yeah, for whatever reason I don't find it that surprising, although I don't know him and have any basis for saying that, so no offense to Tim. And let's not turn this into another debate on the legality and detriments/benefits of smoking marijuana.
  8. Team Canada
    I still can't believe he called him safe. Unbelievable.
  9. Team Canada
    That call was astounding.
  10. Team Canada
    Al, you say that like you were the only one that realized pitching was a problem.
  11. Team Canada
    Really? 7/126 isn't any worse than 4/42?
  12. Team Canada
    Sounds like Bobby V's looking to come back to MLB. C'mon Doug, do the right thing.
  13. Team Canada
    This is amazing: http://mynorthwest.com/?nid=374&sid=218287

    I don't understand players that would get bent out of shape about that. It's not cheating, if you're able to figure their signs it's their fault, it's not like someone gave you the scheme before the game. When I caught in H.S. I would always stare down at the 3B coach as I was giving signs to try and pick up the steal sign.
  15. Team Canada
    What up Cynthia?
  16. Team Canada
    INSTANT BANINATION.
  17. Team Canada
    People are just looking to be offended. That was one of the greatest celebrations I've seen.
  18. Team Canada
    Good grief, it's like Melvin is playing some trade video game and keeps failing the level. You can't just say "Oh why didn't Melvin do that, he's an idiot!" like somehow Tampa was just waiting for him to offer an equivalent deal and he passed. It's hard to speak intelligently about what Melvin is or is not doing when we have absolutely no idea what are possibilities, what opposing teams are asking for, etc. You can be disappointed that we aren't getting pitching, but to just dump it all on Melvin like he's incompetant is foolish. edit: Melvin responds to critics

    So much for just needing 3 days off to straighten himself out..
  20. Team Canada
    Based on Adam's article about this, sounds like the point of Lawrie's promotion was for him to face more advanced pitching in preparation for his playing with Team Canada. Be interesting to see where he starts next year..
  21. Team Canada
    Either Adam or TH noted that this basically is to replace Gillespie.
  22. Team Canada
    In English? With context?
  23. Team Canada
    We'll use this thread for the Hairston transaction..
  24. Team Canada
    Please include a summary of your link so everyone doesn't have to actually go there to read what the thread is about. From some poster:
  25. Team Canada
    Interesting, that does appear to be his full name, but I don't recall ever seeing that before. Carry on..
