I do love him.  He just drives me crazy because he had the tools and has I’ve mentioned over and over is prone to the bone head play.  Happy to pull all of my former quotes in the subject 

 

cites bloops that drop in front and Ground balls that go between his legs….

The only bloop that was catchable in his career that fell in front of him was last year against the Red Sox. 

C'mon man, you can't just make stuff up. You know I will call you on it.

The guy that drops lazy popups?

Everyone makes an error at some point, but if you don't think McKenna is better defensively then Stowers, I don't really know what to tell you...but I don't think you know much about OF play

Wow, time for Stowers to go back down. He's not doing anything to help this team right now.

Didnt he throw a rocket earlier in the game to keep the runner at first?

I know, that’s not much.

What of late makes anyone think Bautista will be efficient tonight?

Which is why I capitalized IF.

But we have to get him straightened out.  Hopefully Holt & company are working their magic.

Really, when did he do that before in the majors? That was his first major league error.

The quote I’m referencing was an observation at a Norfolk game.  Think you called me something like a clown for suggesting he had issues in OF :)

    • You said Ortiz was in the range of Basallo. That’s completely laughable.  They aren’t even close.    Bradfield has been in the range of Ortiz, as some have him just inside the top 100 and some don’t. Now, a few places did place Ortiz higher than any spot Bradfield has been but it took a while for Ortiz to be ranked and Bradfield not so much. Beavers will be there soon enough and since Beavers is much younger, they definitely could value Beavers as much or more than a guy like Ortiz…especially a team that’s far away.
    • I don't want to overstate it but imo having one, or preferably two, slots in the bullpen that you can shuttle guys with is a must.
    • Keep in mind that the bullpen had to cover 6.1 IP yesterday. 4 IP on Friday. All scoreless. Btw. Throwing 13.1 IP in a 3 games series is a ton for a bullpen.  I do agree that we use our pen so much that it would be more valuable to have a shuttle spot as the last spot than a guy like Viera. We should have a fresh arm for every game with the shuttle. 
    • I don't think it's an outlier so much as by design.  Elias has been targeting LH bats in the draft. My guess is he thinks he can get a RH bat for the outfield on the cheap if he needs one.
    • Four hits and 2 ER in 1.1 IP is acceptable?  
    • Thank you for allowing me to join.  We obviously have more pressing issues to deal with.  And you all have probably been over this a hundred times.  I was thinking about the prospect of losing the Santander and Hays right-handed at-bats in the OF soon (Hays will of course continue to fight into next year) and then I looked at our OF depth and saw almost all lefties in the wings.   Maybe Mayo, Norby and Rhodes will become factors, but when you get right down to it, I don't see a RH hitting, starting OF'er on the horizon.   Am I missing something?  Not a big deal right now, but seems like an outlier thing.  
    • I don’t think we see McDermott this year.  His control is a major hurdle.  I’m not sure how Povich would do out of the pen.  I imagine it would be a challenge to get used to. But, I do like the idea of bring pitchers in as a reliever to give them a taste at a young age like the Os did back in the day.
