  1. I think Eloy's bat and Engles/Sheets glove are better than Cruz's bat and Eloy's glove. I would also like to play Vaughn somewhere along with Burger on occasion. I like Cruz as a bat but he doesn't fit us well IMO. Also, Twins are going to get something back from us as well. Best to spend the money where we actually have need.
  2. Just a few minutes...maybe 10. Great choice.
  3. Be patient and this will be sorted out by end of business on July 30 IMO.
  4. You make several valid points but I would take the money and spend it at second base and bullpen.
  5. No...I am suggesting that Eloy, Grandal, Abreau, Burger and Sheets make it silly to spend resources on a DH.
  6. A great old German restaurant. I started going there maybe 60 years ago. Highly recommend it.
  7. Sheets is also in the DH mix. If there is one position that we are set...it is the DH.
  8. With Eloy ready to come back...this is one rumor that just isn't going to happen IMO. Makes zero sense.
  9. I like Zavala's catching better than either Collins or Grandal. Hard to live with zero offensive ability but it doesn't bother me a great deal.
  10. I agree, but since several lousy teams are among these leaders it makes a point that someone has to get on base. I will take a 25 home run guy who hits .300 any day over a guy who hits .220 with 40 home runs.
  11. Quite a nice situation since most of us considered the 2017 draft as a lost cause.
  12. Not many of us would prefer Collins over Burger at DH. I guess that's why Tony is in the dugout and we are in the cheap seats.
  13. Yesterday went from the feeling of impending disaster to no one can stop us in one swing.
  14. Adding someone none of us are talking about would be a very RH move. He has always played his cards close to the vest.
  15. The White Sox traded both Aparicio and Fox...I imagine Molina isn't any more popular than they were with their respective fan bases. A good number of their fans would view it as being respectful of Yadi IMO.
  16. It won't cost either when it happens IMO.
  17. I know...but I am speaking now with the emergence of Burger& Sheets and the return of Engel.
  18. I noticed in last night's game that he wasn't doing his happy-go-lucky and laugh at everything act. I wonder if someone thought to suggest he should try to keep his head in the game a little more earnestly.
  19. The Cards are 9 games back. Sox give up a B-level prospect for Molina. Good to go.
  20. It was a great game to announce to the baseball world that we are for real.
  21. It's a Dodgers problem. Where can we play all the good players? Poor us.
  22. We need to try him at 2nd base. Maybe he will be adequate much like Vaughn has been a pleasant surprise in left. That homer was 456 feet with 115 exit velocity.
  23. I agree. Starting to feel like the Dodgers with a lineup of stars to use in a variety of ways.
  24. Yes, he does...and this has got to stop,
