flavum Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I put the schedule breakdown in the MLB Catch All, but for all of the complaining Hawk has made about 2-game series....four of them, 2 of which are within the city limits, isn't excessive. 2-game: 4 (2 of which are back-to-back) 3-game: 38 4-game: 10 Could be worse.

For 2 yrs/$25 million, if he plays anything like this year or 2010, that's not a bad deal. I'm not as certain about Dunn, but all it takes is one.

Cali Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Only 7 non-AL Central Games left in the season after tomorrow. I'm feeling pretty good about September. Even with the Royals struggles this team has done pretty well in the division (a lot better than the last few years) so my confidence is high. If they can take care of Detroit at a 5-2 clip (Hell, I'd even take 4-3) and just split the last 6 with KC, they're gonna win the division I think.

CyAcosta41 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 QUOTE (CyAcosta41 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 11:59 AM) The way I look at it is that Floyd's injury (assuming it doesn't magically clear-up in the next day or so) means that a spot start is necessary for someone -- Santiago, Humber, or Axelrod. Personally, I prefer Axelrod because the other two have been HR throwing machines. In scouting terms, Axelrod doesn't have the raw stuff or ceiling of the other two, but on any given day I think he's a better bet to keep you close. ... With the assumption that Floyd is DL'd (obviously, still TBD), then we both think Axelrod is called up to take his slot. Axelrod doesn't necessarily have that high big league ceiling, but he's proven that he's not likely to get rocked completely, and he has the ability to string some 0's together. I love it when I analyze! Sorry about the no-no of self-quoting (a/k/a quoting someone I love), but just wanted to send some more kudos to Dylan Axelrod and his big cajones for his performance in one of this year's most important starting assignments (momentum-wise). He's had some good starts last year; he's dominated all year long in AAA; and he had good+ starts this year against the Yankees and the Red Sox. Everyone falls in love with stuff, but some guys just know how to pitch. I'm not saying he's Mark Buehrle (who has made a fortune for himself knowing how to pitch), but no reason that on many nights he can't do a serviceable Cy Chen impression (who, oh, by the way, shut down the hot Tiger offense tonight knowing how to be a pitcher and not a thrower). Axelrod's ceiling has got to be a 4/5, but in the heat of a pennant race, on the road, against a hot offense, I had much more confidence in him than the higher ceiling Santiago (who at this stage of his career seems to alternate great stuff innings with BP innings) and the enigma known as Phil Humber (who can throw you a perfecto, get bombed, or anywhere in between).
