Late to the party. This surprised me a lot. Not because he didn't deserve it, but because it's not DD's normal MO. Very rare has he just let a player go. Speaks well of Dan tho. He made a mistake in the first place but he admitted it and cut him loose.

Fare thee well De!

I wonder if maybe Buck kept starting De Aza and Young in recent games when it didn't seem to make sense in the hope that one of them would show some life with the bat and be trade-worthy.

Are you gonna fish or cut bait? I thought of this too. All these rumors that Snider is in the doghouse. :P Maybe it was all the playing time to De Aza til he proves his point.

Duquette made it abundantly clear that an outfielder would go when Flaherty returned. He said it several times. It was our fault if we did not believe it.

IMO, as the "GM" of a cash strapped team DD made some pretty bad investments in marginal players this year.

When you make an arguably bad call on a $5M player you release him on Memorial Day and move on. When you make a bad call on a $60M or $100M player they fire you and your successor gets to figure out how to sell off the deal at pennies on the dollar.

I suppose the argument is that you could have signed a random league minimum guy and replicated De Aza's production. But I think the objective was to not get someone with 2015 De Aza's production. He has played worse than most reasonable projections.

Flaherty basically. I suppose Pearce gets more in the OF mix now. Sounds like more stuff is forthcoming.
Flaherty is at 2B.

Thanks. As long as it leads to less Delmon, I'll be happy.

Nice to see Snider in the lineup and batting 2nd.

The More stuff is Wieters for Clevenger and Norris for Wright. Wes Wright for Matusz.

Our outfielders are - Pearce, Delmon, Jones, Snider, Lough

Our infielders are - Davis, Flaherty, Cabrera, Hardy, Machado

Our DH is Paredes

Our Catchers are Joseph and Clevenger

One of the ex GM on XM MLB who shall not be named suggested ARI as a trade partner. They have 5 good young OF in Trumbo, Pollack. Enciarte, Thomas, and Peralta. What young SP could we give up along with De Aza to get one of these guys. Thomas would be the one I'd target.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Elias: It's on me

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
