TheFutureIsNear

I know getting to see mediocre baseball is exciting compared to the last 2 seasons, but there’s a lot of people getting ahead of themselves. There’s no reason to start rushing prospects to the majors in early May.

Why stop there?

I know there’s no other real solution on this sorry roster…but I could do without ever seeing a Vargas or Meidroth AB again. Neither have a shred of potential to be starting MLB players. Time to stop pretending with that

I’m not going lose any sleep over Sosa, but I’d love to know what this organization hated about him. I hope (for peace of mind) that he’s uncoachable or something. Because it really doesn’t make sense to stick with players that are clearly much worse hitters.

Fair enough, but we have some time on Bonemer and a lot of time for Carlson and Roch. I’m just saying if you are going to bring up Antonacci now it should be full time at a position he’s comfortable at. And mostly that I don’t care about Vargas or Meidroth. I don’t think either are starting MLB players and we shouldn’t be worried about the amount of AB’s they get. There’s also no denying that there’s a void of talent in the OF on this team so I understand if that’s where Antonacci ends up playing.

I’ve seen enough of Vargas and Meidroth that I don’t think they should be factored into the future at this point. If Antonacci’s best position is IF just play him at 2B or 3B. Montgomery and Mune are the only 2 IF’s currently on the roster we should be worried about getting regular AB’s.

This thread went in an interesting direction… Anyway, the person who made the tweet in the OP should be put in jail. Wait a few mins, way too dramatic of a post for what ultimately ended being a bruise

Getz has a crippling addiction to mediocre left handed relief pitchers

Not that that I really care, but definitely weird to make the decision to keep him and then immediately bail a week into the season. Did they really expect Paez to succeed right away?

It’s actually pretty impressive that Getz remade a really bad bullpen and somehow made it worse. Should have been difficult, but we got just the guy for the task.

Didn’t have a chance to watch today…but seems like Venable is trying to juggle a bunch of moving parts with this lineup. I get they suck, but would it hurt to just stick with same 9 guys for at least a couple of weeks? Can’t imagine some consistency/continuity would be the worst thing for a lineup full of guys getting their 1st starting spot to open a MLB season.

71-74…with 71 being my official guess. Will be ugly early, but by July the team could be playing respectable ball

I HOPE the pitching staff has made it clear Lee is bad behind the plate and they don’t want to pitch to him. No idea if that’s true, but it’s the only thing that makes sense. Can’t imagine Lee has any real value in a trade. Could a Sosa + Lee trade package possibly get us a somewhat intriguing pitching prospect??…probably grasping at straws

I know it’s been brought up before…but is there seriously no way Sosa can play OF? Just seems crazy that this franchise isn’t going to attempt to get his bat in the lineup. I don’t have any delusions of Sosa being a make or break guy in this rebuild, but a 26 year old that is easily one of the top 9 bats we currently have to offer shouldn’t be on the bench of a team with no hope of actually competing

I haven’t bought 1 (yet), but I know a few people with these boxes and they swear by them.
