Maybe you don't understand emoticons?

More like +1.3-.3=1. We might remember the bad more than the good, it doesn't mean they happened as often.

Manny wants to make sure his new manager doesn't make a big deal about his lack of hustle. ?

Kinda? I mean, if you were to ask me who was the most likely person to replace Hyde as Manager was, right now, I'd say Buck Britton. He was the Shorebirds manager when Elias took over and did enough to get promoted to Bowie where he won manager of the year.

Yes I'm sure the new FA is only going to make good trades and won't sign any bad Free Agents, well aside from Dan Straily.

I had the feeling Buck wasn't in favor of the trade.

Hard to beat out guys like Roger Peckinpaugh.

I guess I'm the only one that read this and thought of an angry Boomer railing against modern society.

The midfielder? He's 53! Geez 6'7" eh?

Yes.

I'll disagree with you. I think it is possible that those rankings can be a useful yardstick for Elias and he'd rather they be as high as possible.

Didn't they put him in as a defensive replacement late?

Yes, they sat him in the penultimate game to retain his status.

Now Mike, he had no problem telling you how smart he was.

He said the Cardinals had much better fans.

He's at 128 AB, the cutoff is 130. If he wins RoY that would cost the team money. Better off having him lose eligibility this year. I think Elias is hoping Hays boosts up the team's prospect ranking.

Oh man, he mentioned the same silly stat I did(minus the strikeouts). ?

Kline wasn't charged with assault while playing. Give me Francisco Rodriguez.

Since you are mentioning second round picks I am guessing the player in question wasn't selected that early.

Sad is indeed the word I would use to describe that effort. Question, if Flynn's BABIP was atrocious wasn't he due for some good luck? Or are they suggesting that his lack of hustle and/or slow foot speed was the cause of his BABIP?

He could see if the Astros have an intern slot open.

If a team were to trade Davis for other bad contracts I imagine they would cut him as fast as the Braves cut Matusz.

I tried to get the nickname "Butane" to stick. His stuff was inflammable when he was with the O's, a tiny little spark and he'd blow up.

Chris Davis.
