Not if he doesn't fit their plans of what they want in a rebuild.

I don't think anyone has actually said it because they don't want to admit it. In fact I think they said the opposite. But actions speak louder then words.

You are correct the record is what it is. The rest of it, you can think what you want to think. But if you cant see they are tanking and rebuilding, we'll its one point of view.

That's up to you if you don't want to face reality. Dress it up with all the clever quotes, its reality.

Wow, colorful.

They are doing exactly what they planned. Some people just refuse to see it.

Not necessarily. Maybe they just wanted a closer look in person to determine if they could change some flaws they noticed. Once they talked to him and worked with him a little, they determined either they couldn't correct the flaws or he wouldn't correct the flaws.

Sure, he was hurt. Even if he was, which is highly suspect, I'm sure he was in the batting cages and working on things with the instructors A mildly strained hip flexor wouldn't prevent that.

And your point is? They obviously determined that Smith and Vasil were worth keeping. They also determined that Workman was not.

I think we do have a different definition. I look at it as they can see his mechanics, abilities and other traits while working in Arizona and Charlotte to determine if he is what they want. I don't look at game play as being the only thing that can determine future success.

Or they thought it was worth a chance, then decided it wasn't. They lost nothing with giving it a shot. Being a rule 5 draftee I'm sure there are plenty of issues. Otherwise the original team would keep him.

Maybe it was the time in Arizona and Charlotte that made them realize it wasn't worth it? They saw him fir more than one game, it just wasn't at the MLB level.

Must not have liked what they saw when working with him in person.

It was fun to be at, other than yelling at the ump.

Yes it has.

He's been awful the whole game. Half of the calls on Burke were wrong by the app. This game would be a lot different with abs. I can see it from the bleachers.

When they decide its time to start trying. They want to make sure they get that first pick. I will guess by July we will see more wholesale changes of the young guys. They are slowly adding them.

Absolutely amazing.

He got out of here.

New Pope is from Dolton. Maybe he can exorcise the demons.

Most lineups are determined by the analytics departments in today's game. There is input from the manager on who has a day off. Managers to tinker a little but very little comparatively.

Eating a polish is pretty much like wrapping your hand around your heart and squeezing. I don't see an issue.

So sad. Sorry to hear this. Have gone back and forth with him about our Iowa connection since I joined in 2004. Prayers to his family and loved ones.

It will be interesting to see whose at bats he takes. DH time from Quero, playing time from Vaughn, Vargas or Rojas with the 3B/1B mix.

With mine, i get most milb.tv
