Yuck, YA at 32 will probably be terrible. I know we had guys ahead of AC but he does have a chance to be a really good 4th outfielder. Dick Allen is right about Machado angle.

If he is that cheap, he brings what Sale brought. The difference being Cleveland has better judges of talent.

Harry, you're hands are freezing.

6 years of this crap is almost more than I can handle. Next year looks terrible and 2020 who really knows. I've been watching for 50 years and the thought of 2 more seasons like this feels like a death sentence. I wonder what i'll feel like when my seasonal affective disorder kicks in.

Would someone post some good news please? I wouldn't even care if it was made up.

Fire everyone, including the janitor. We need new eyes in this organization.

Fulmer does blow, but lots of teams would be happy to have Kevan Smith.

Well, at least one guy on our team this year did some thing to make me happy.

does this guy have extra strong wrists? The real Dick Allen had tremendous power because of strength in hands and wrists, not size 5' 11" 175.

don't sugar coat it. renteria is a stiff. fire him monday morning. i'm not as down on hostetler. coaches should be axed including cooper. start over and tell hahn he's 81-81 next season or sayonara.

I'd gladly pick sixth if we could knock the Cubs into second place this week end.

I don't think he is as flawed as you think. In his minor league career he has always walked a lot and hit for a higher average. It wouldn't surprise me to see his OBP go up quite a bit next year. That being said, his home runs might turn back into doubles as well. Either way he's still a good offensive player. I totally agree about his flawed defense though. Maybe he should go play 1st base in the winter league.

Why not center field?

pull the plug.

I honestly couldn't care less.

Good luck, we hope to see you back sooner than later. Some times investing emotionally in a team can be really tough.

Try 9th.

Not me. If benintendi was in that trade we would have gotten less. Basabe might end up being a special player.

Yes but he is also black.

I'm sure it was. If they didn't say something, they wouldn't be doing their job. I said in another post that if I were in their shoes I'd ask RH if this has any thing to do with him being black. If you represent someone you have to do any thing you can to try and get it done. That way if it back fires, the agents can say it wasn't Eloys idea to ask.

If his agents are serious, they should really ask RH in private if he's being held down at AAA because he's black. That could get things moving fast. Of course it could blow up in their face too. Nobody gets to pick the cards they are dealt. But playing the cards you get is OK by me.

Maybe Gonzalez

what a sorry bunch of pitchers.

The last time I checked fatigue is not an injury. He simply hit a little wall and the Sox were taking precautions. He pitched 30+ more innings this year and will probably increase by a similar amount next season. The fastest way to improving at sports is by playing against superior players. Cease will undoubtedly do this in the majors. Not so much against mostly AAAA players found at Charlotte. It is my opinion that pitching 150-160 innings in the majors should lead to a smaller learning curve in 2020, and hopefully a pennant race that we might win.
