Gotta give some props to Detwiler, he is pitching as well as anyone could realistically hope

He has made a shitton of errors, but that is still incredibly premature and a kneejerk reaction.

Imploding is way too strong of a word for giving up 2 runs in 4 innings

FWIW Tim grades out as average in DRS and only slightly below average in UZR. Moving him to the outfield would be dumb.

Oh boy, that was just lazy by tim

I thought eloy hit that one 600 ft at first

Quitting the team because his wife dumped him, what a mark.

Would have had? They are holding the second wild card spot right now and their run differential is the best of all teams in the wild card race.

Tampa Bay is the best org in baseball. Their minor league system keeps on producing and they are so often right on seemingly minor free agents.

Robin Ventura lost control of his clubhouse. Ricky‘s in game strategy leaves much to be desired, but the players listen to him and play hard for him. Managing people is the most important skill of a baseball manager.

That was Ruiz one good inning he has every month I guess

Yermin would have hit one 600ft. ?

I can't wait until you bring that up in an unrelated context as a reason why Free Agent X didn't sign here. ?

I'd be shocked if the Brewers don't pick up his option, especially with Travis Shaw cratering.

To be fair the options on the market for 1B are not great, I can‘t think of an obvious trade candidate either. I wouldn‘t be opposed to sign Abreu to a one year deal, but only if he stops looking like Jermaine Dye in 2009.

If you want to you could sign the ageless wonders Cruz or Encarnacion as well.

My mistake, he signed a 1yr deal, but he is still arb eligible.

CJ Cron and Nick Castellanos are free agents this year. they are younger and a good bet to be better than Abreu next year.

Yeah, Yermin feels like a guy the Cardinals call up and would prduce. They have given chances to guys like him in Matt Adams, Allen Craig and Jose Martinez.

That would be the only thing he hit in the last 3 weeks.

McCann could be headed to the DL as well. He took a beating the last few games.

Funnily enough,they got rid of the one aging slugger who could still get it done in Jim Thome.

Are they finally releasing Castillo? Or does McCann have to go to the DL because of the beating he took the last couple of days? Interesting.

Skole isn't on the 40 man either. And the 40 man is at 39 right now.

Yeah that‘s an insane conspiracy theory. Same for proclaiming that Rutherford is a non-prospect in his first stint at AA. I guess it‘s not enough anymore to shit up Pale Hose Talk.
