Good gracious, I see we are still going on about whether MelMo is a cancer or not.

Enuff.

Put that aside.

To repeat what FruitLoop posted:

He's 35. He's expensive. He's not very good.

And, if you can move him for younger prospects, JUST DO IT!

Post of the effin' century. Also what I wrote about 2 pages ago.

It's hard to believe someone who is all knowing and all seeing could be so credulous at the same time. I'd be curious to know how many players you've talked to lately or coaches or guys who actually work in the wharehouse. Don't name them just give me a number.

I personally haven't talked to anyone and have never said so.

It amazes me how clueless you truly are.....But we know Bigbird, Peace, Belkast and others know people within the organization...And if you haven't figured that out, you are even more clueless than i thought.

I have heard things as well from people close to the team....So, i am doubting anything. Between all of that and what has been reported, it isn't difficult for a normal person to figure out that something is wrong.

Nobody's arguing about whether it would be good to trade him. If people would stick to that, then it would indeed be "Enuff".

This is entirely about people standing in line to attack a guy's character, but then getting all vague when you ask'em to put up or shut up. When his teammates diss him, or when somebody who's actually in the clubhouse does it, then I'll listen hard. Until then, I think we have a guy who's frustrated for understandable reasons and who maybe got on the wrong side of DT. Good people can wind up on the wrong side of each other, it happens all the time. It doesn't mean one of them is evil. How any of this translates into "CANCER" is something I'm still waiting to hear.

This post confirms my belief that you are the major purveyer of baloney on the OH. You allude to having heard "things" from your "sources" that tell you Mora is regarded as a cancer, and now you admit to have taked to the same people who post here frequently and who have people who talk to people who talk to people, ad nauaseum, and after saying in effect you can take it to the bank Mora is regarded as a "cancer", now you concede you have no direct sources to the team itself and know nothing more than "something is wrong". Well you know I could have told you that much myself even given my clueless state. Lame :rolleyes:

Fixed that for you...

Is there anyone around who actually still thinks this is clever or funny? It was the first or second time, but after that, it got juvenile in a hurry.

It's also patronizing as h*ll and shows a lack of respect to the poster, regardless of the opinion.

Why don't you bring back "need more cowbell" while you're at it?

Man, that FruitLoop guy is really onto something...he must be brilliant!;)

      The Kimbrel experience feels very similar to the Felix experience thus far. Great pickup

      I don’t know how long this Suarez wave will last, but it’s fun and a really good story to see a guy fight for one more chance and take advantage of it.

      You think that Mayo is better/more talented player than Cowser? Also, who’s J?

      While it certainly makes sense, I don’t see it happening. Santander has played almost every day even while his bat was running cold. Mullins and mountcastle as well. Hyde values veteran presence and hard to argue with the results so far this year. As for Mayo and Kjerstad, the only way I envision them seeing consistent playing time is if they let Santander walk this year, and trade one of RMC/Urias in the offseason. Highly unlikely Elias trades anyone from the lineup during the season

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By LookinUp · Posted

      I think it's silly to say he has nothing left to prove in AAA and equally silly to say he's not hurting the ML team right now. He is definitely hurting us. We're just good enough to overcome it right now. Holliday barely had a cup of coffee in AAA. He was only ok at the end of last year in AAA (.796 OPS) and had good stats when everyone on the team had over a 1.000 OPS against the lame White Sox team early this year. He also barely had a cup of coffee at 2B. Most importantly, he looks broken right now.  There's every reason to put him into a position where he can decompress and find his legs again. While he's at it, he can figure out how not to drop his hands so he can compete at the top of the zone, and he can get more comfortable at 2b. I love the kid and believe that he'll be as great as they say, but I definitely believe he was rushed in relation to how Elias has really made sure the other guys are more ready before promoting them. Nobody else got the Holliday treatment, and I don't think they should. I would demote him and give Norby a shot, effective tomorrow.

      As I said, someone(s) has to go.    Over the next few years, you also enter Mayo and Basallo into the picture. Mayo is reportedly shagging fly balls now. They are working on him in the OF.  Only a matter of time before he’s in games. But he will play first some and DH some. Basallo will as well. Both have a talent advantage over silent J,  Cowser, Stowers, Norby, Beavers, etc… So, some kind of move(s) will need to be made. It’s not a matter of if, it’s when.
