QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 02:14 PM) ADA on 3rd base, Rios hits a hard liner to CF that Jackson catches standing up. ADA looked to be about halfway towards home before he realized it would get caught, and he wasn't able to tag up. Hawk is incredibly pissed off. Fantastic. Ale wants that number 1 pick too!

What'd I miss? This sounds fun...

When does Petricka get called up?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 01:41 PM) Rienzo has been awesome so far I haven't been able to watch, is he throwing the cutter today?

Lets get number 10! Hopefully Rienzo pitches well though.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Aug 3, 2013 -> 04:35 PM) Why do we have to hire an old has-been with no managing experience like some sort of semi-pro sideshow? Like Mike Matheny?

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 3, 2013 -> 07:32 PM) At least all the other teams who SUCK still make it fun to see how their prospects progress throughout the season.....We don't even get that. Follow the Charlotte game, got 3 really legit prospects going today.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 3, 2013 -> 04:38 PM) It will take much more than a few good months to convince me that either of them is more than flash in the pan. It seems like every year we have a couple of position players that play way over their heads that everyone gets excited about. Semien was great last year as well. He's proven he's not a flash in the pan. Sanchez certainly has time to figure it out but Semien does everything better at the plate compared to Carlos. Sanchez is a decent prospect but Semien is on a whole other level imo.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 3, 2013 -> 01:48 PM) This is why some baseball people really like him. He hasn't hit for much power in the Majors yet, but he clearly has the capability. Yup no doubt. And I'm not trying to fuel that Cabrera comparisons because those are ridiculous but his batting stance is very similar to Miggy's.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 11:06 PM) Why would you want Houston/Huston (Street?) to "go!" instead of the Twins? Why would we want Houston to lose?

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 09:05 PM) LOL! It's gonna be difficult to be worse than the Astros. Hitting wise we're even but the Sox' pitching is better, not that good pitching has gotten many wins lately. Where's your confidence?!? Stros win today we're 3.5 out of that 1st pick with 3 left with Houston. We can do this!!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 08:19 PM) I agree and am shocked by this move. However, I'm blown away by the money Sounders are paying. $9 million transfer fee and 4 year/$32 million contract. That's big time anywhere. Dempsey wasn't going to make that much in salary over the next four years and Seattle's home crowds are fantastic. I'm trying to think of this as a positive sign for MLS than a negative club move for Dempsey, even if it is. And Seattle is a huge soccer city, correct? Should be very nice for MLS.

Alright good start with the loss and Marlins up 5. Lets go Stros!

Avisail went yard EDIT: I'm an idiot, somehow missed the whole conversation at the top of this page.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 03:28 PM) This isn't necessarily a permanent move, of course. It just buys you time with Rios so you don't have to just dump him to get Garcia ABs I was thinking this thread was about a permanent move starting next season. I'm all for doing it for the rest of this season.

It'd really suck to just make Dayan's arm totally useless.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 02:19 PM) Give him a shot there the rest of the way. It would give Garcia at bats, and it would probably help us get that #1 spot! Ha I guess if you look at it that way then I'm all for it.

Dayan taking groundballs at 3rd today.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 01:01 PM) The guy has one .800 OPS season in the minors (and it was in the ever inflated PCL). I don't know what about his past screams that he'd be anything league average at 3rd base. The one thing he did do was consistently post good OBP's down in the minors. He's not a starting caliber 3b, no way in my opinion.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 11:52 AM) Filling out applications online. Holy s***. They want to know every single thing about you. I took less assessments when I went to college. Yup. There are some application's that are frustrating as hell. Anywho, I got a 2nd interview on Monday for a job that I've wanted for a couple of years now. Only thing is that it'd require me to move to Milwaukee but at the moment it's pretty much the perfect job for me. Hopefully I don't f*** it up!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 07:22 PM) Is he the most disappointing prospect in all of baseball? Probably. At least the power seems legit. If he still sucks next year then I'll start to write him off but I'm not panicking just yet even though he's god awful right now.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 07:13 PM) Why did he not start? Not good enough.

SEMIEN GOT OUT

If Alexei is still around next season, I'd rather have Semien starting at 3b than Gillaspie.
