Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated - Craig Kimbrel. There, grammar police, I hope you understand that one!

I’m sorry. I was kidding. I won’t do that in the future.

Tough crowd today in the thread.

Umm... As much as I love Miller's talents, that's a GIGANTIC NO for me! They may want to think about working on a Westburg extension pretty soon. The young man appears to have that it/clutch gene.

Gunnar should be the first extension.  Maybe Westburg should be the 2nd, might be the first if Gunnar wants a Witt+ extension.

This was a big game to steal with Gallen on the bump tomorrow.

No disrespect intended to Gallen. But if Kremer gives us a solid start like he has done for much of the season, I like our chances.

No that was for Moose, not you, D. :D The smart bet when reading my posts are 99.9% of them are sarcasm or hyperbole.

Obviously Gunnar is our best player. BUT Boras is his agent. An extension with Gunnar may not be possible. However, we can extend Adley and Westburg.

If Gunnar wants Witt money (which he should since that is now the market for young superstar SS), you sign him to that immediately and be very happy. We are paying no one, we gotta start retaining talent longer term (like every other competent MLB organization does).

The 3 best players from our recent drafts, Adley, Westy and Gunner!

No one is arguing against that. At least not until Holliday gets settled in at the Major League level. Each of those guys is at least 2 and 1/2 years older than Holliday.

    • IMO 100% - I get the SP need and want but a shut-down pen (with a long man) is imperative
    • Good idea.  Hopefully, he performs well enough in the FCL for them to consider it.
    • I dont think Trouts the answer even if he wanted to come here. Too much $$$ probably. Elias would probably accept a 100 OPS+ CF if his range was good. Im not sure how many CF's fall under that category that are available. And Roberts only signed through next year, so it doesn't make sense to give up a valuable prospect for him.  Sigs going to have to dig deep to churn up something. Isnt Johnson in AAA having a great year? I dont know anything about him defensively.
    • Nice to see him getting live action. Ashamed he missed so much of the season. I'd love to see him do well and have them push him up to Delmarva for addition PAs that he lost out on, even if he struggles at that level. 
    • While I still think he could become a reliable defensive 3B, I'd still like to see what he looks like in RF.  An outfield of Kjerstad/Stowers in LF, Cowser in CF, and Mayo in RF would be about as scary as it gets for pitchers. Imagine this 2025 lineup: 1. Henderson - SS 2. Rutschman -  C 3. Mayo - RF 4. Kjerstad - DH 5. Westburg - 3B 6. Cowser - CF 7. Mountcastle - 1B 8. Stowers - LF 9. Holliday - 2B Who the hell do you pitch around?  
    • I really don’t think I was speculating based on the past, but rather on my perceptions of the new generation of ballplayers overwhelmed by advanced stats and how their pay is based on them so heavily, as well as hearing it from the mouths of current players.    Did you watch any of the youtube clip? While I totally understand where you’re coming from and appreciate the check on my viewpoint, I really think the things said in the podcast are definite issues for consideration and hope you’ll watch it to see what you think. 
    • Wow, only Judge and Soto have more votes than Rutschman in the AL.
