  1. Trade his ass for a Cuban SS so we can trade Timmy for some more Cuban pitching to supplement Vera.
  2. Leury is a Tony favorite and therefore he was rewarded a loyalty contract. Signing him for three years makes no sense when the market didn’t require such a lengthy commitment and the fact we have several guys in the upper minors who profile as reserve infielders or utility guys.
  3. IMO, if there are six games a week on average and two are vs. LHP here’s how I’d address the issue if everyone is healthy. Versus RHP: 1B: Abreu (3/4) | Sheets (1/4) LF: Jimenez (3/4) | Vaughn (1/4) RF: Pollock (3/4) | Vaughn (1/4) DH: Sheets (1/4) | Vaughn (1/4) | Grandal (1/4) | Jimenez (1/4) CA: Grandal (2/4) | McGuire (2/4) Versus LHP: 1B: Abreu (2/2) LF: Jimenez (1/2) | Pollock (1/2) RF: Pollock (1/2) | Engel (1/2) DH: Vaughn (2/2) CA: Grandal (2/2) This allows the core starters (including Vaughn) to play five out of every six games. Sheets gets two starts a week against tough RHP, McGuire starts two games against RHP (where he is solid), and Engel gets a token start plus late game duties. If someone goes down, then Sheets’ playing time increases substantially. Until then he should be a role player whose playing time reflects that.
  4. And when a guy like Romy should be able to fill his role by next season at nearly 10% of the cost.
  5. I don’t actually hate Leury, but just find it mind boggling they felt compelled to give him a three year deal.
  6. At least we have you here to perform fellatio on the front office on a daily basis.
  7. Lol…that last point is plain dumb and just highlights your strange bias against Vaughn.
  8. So would it be a double-header tomorrow? I guess I didn’t think about that element. Also, are double headers seven inning games in the new CBA?
  9. Ray is like the one lefty we’ve struggled against though. I don’t want to be a downer here, but Keuchel installs zero faith at the moment. Hopefully he proves me wrong and give us solid five innings that keep us within striking distance.
  10. I think if everything went right with Colson you’re looking at a 2024 ETA.
  11. My way too early take is he ends up replacing Adam Engel in a year or so. He still has time to get the discipline in check and exceed that, but gun to head that’s where I peg his long-term role at the moment.
  12. Seems that way and would open up a ton more 2B time for Sosa.
