Harold's Leg Lift

Does he really or is he just the new scapegoat for teflon Hahn's many mistakes. If nothing else Kenny Williams can remove "Organiztion Boogeyman" from his business card.

So LaRussa was literally prohibited from using Kelly because of language Hahn wrote in his contract. I wonder how many file cabinets LaRussa punched because of that stupid decision. LOL

I disagree. Mike Shirley took a starting pitcher. Rick Hahn et al turned him into a reliever.

He was hiding a shoulder injury. Shocking. Hard pass.

Nick Hostetler is no longer part of the decision making process, Kiley. That seems important. Also, just call it a hitch ya douche.

My guy Gladney has been hitting the holy hell out of the ball and he's not getting nearly enough love. Looking at you DS.

Why haven't you made any moves to improve the current team? Was it this medical staff that advised you not to offer Carlos Rodon the QO? Why do you continue to misevaluate the free agent market? Why didn't you add an impact LHH? Why didn't you upgrade RF? Why didn't you upgrade the starting rotation? Why didn't you upgrade the defense? Why didn't you add more team depth? Why did you put so much money in the bullpen?

It's going to be very interesting to see who and where Owen gets popped. He's a HS 6 foot right hander so teams that scout bodies/tools are going to be out because he has no remaining projection and it's command over stuff. Teams that look at stats/data will be the ones in play because it's plus command of 3 avg/above avg pitches. He's one of the more polished pitchers in the draft but at the end of the day he's a HS right hander with an avg fastball. I could see him going in the 30-50 range.

He's not the dynamic high ceiling middle of the field athete you would like in a 1st round pick but that doesn't mean he's not interesting. He's a switch hitter with avg/above avg hit and above avg power from both sides. That's a rare hitting skillset. Where it gets dicey is his secondary tools. He's a below avg athlete and runner. He's also a below avg defender w/a fringe avg arm so it's very unlikely he stays on the dirt. When you start looking around for players who match that type of skillset it gets very difficult. Can he be Ian Happ? That would be a really good pick.

Sale/Q/Eaton/Abreu wasn't the problem. The problem was Rick Hahn being incapable of building a good team around them and now we're seeing that same problem again.

Sounds like there was a lot of heat there and he didn't disappoint. I think everyone should be interested but if I had to guess I'd say the Pads, Cleve, NYY or Bos could be likely landing spots. Maybe the Mets.

It's hard to imagine Rick Hahn doing a worse job of putting this team together.

He's not facing minor league pitchers any more.
