De Aza DFA

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

No way Norris replaces Wright, right now.

Bud will be working as the long man until he gets it together, or he'll be traded.

If Norris replaces Wright how long is his leash you could argue that Wright is our BEST starter right now?

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.

...

Ergo, the expression, "There is no such thing as a bad one year contract."

I do not disagree. But when Norris is done his rehab, he will be back in that slot. See Gausman, Kevin 2014.

I am interested to see how long his rehab assignment ends up being. If he gets rocked in Bowie, I wouldn't be surprised to see him pulled from rehab and put on rest or something. That also enables them to restart a rehab assignment from 0.

But there is a difference. If Wright pitches well again, he won't be as easy to send down as Gausman, who wasn't stretched out to start, and hadn't looked all that good anyway.

Duquette said a couple of teams have expressed interest in outfielder Alejandro De Aza, who was designated for assignment earlier today. He's confident that De Aza will land a major league job, whether it's via trade or waiver claim.

Given the way this team operates, it was a colossal mistake offering him arbitration during the offseason.

If a 1/$5 million contract for a player who ends up supplying replacement level value is a colossal mistake then every team makes several colossal mistakes (or worse) every year.

Travis Ishikawa, World Series and playoff hero...was DFA.

    • My post is coming off the wrong way.  The OP I quoted seemed like you were “lost for words” about why the team struggled the way they did. All I’m saying is I think you are like that because you didn’t see the scenarios where this much of a drop off from last year was going to happen.
    • But we have no idea who told her or of the info is good. She has given no reason to believe her. Im sure someone told her something but im not sure she smart enough to be able to tell the difference between good info and bad info.
    • 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.
    • 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.
