I'm guessing you didn't say this in February but congrats if you did. IMO, lack of starting depth is a classic hindsight narrative.  

If we had brought in a Lorenzen type I can imagine the complaints about blocking Povich.

I was very happy w/ the Burnes acquisition, but I was not enamored with Means/Wells. I actually knew little to nothing about Suarez.

Did I say this back in February? I had some question marks around the back of the rotation. But I was probably not very boisterous around it.

Suarez isn't chopped liver.  I'll go to battle with that dude in the regular season.  He's in our rotation.  What does it matter if he's #2 or #5 for the regular season?

This sucks, but we're alright.  We're passed the deadline.  Now it's time to dance with the girl you came with.  

Well, it's all handwringing now, of course. Nothing we can do.

If our offense gets hot like Texas' did last year, we can win with Burnes, Eflin, Kremer, and Suarez. None of those guys are liabilities, and each is capable of spinning a gem. 

Kremer and suarez aren’t liabilities? Not to be rude but we must be watching different games

I'm a bit concerned for Kjerstad.  He took a pitch in probably one of the worst spots, if there's really a good spot to get hit. I hope he recovers and doesn't have any lingering issues.

Yes he is. I thought he was on Tides roster though. That part while not significant confuses me.

Maybe it's good news that they're continuing to call is "discomfort' instead of "strain"?

I have hope that since it is retroactive to three days ago vs. yesterday means that they may not be losing their shit over it...unless they are just moving deck chairs but I don't know if that would make sense with the current 26 man and 40 man rosters.

And that they backdated it too.

Elias on 105.7 said that they won’t know severity for a few days.

Wow. I didn’t even notice that when I posted it.

Blows my mind.  Few days because there is no advanced medical  technology available in the entire city?  Few days because the person reading the scan is on vacation in the Ozarks?  WTF is this acting like a third world operation?  This is big money, big business.  Get someone to determine what the scan said.  That's just stupid.  No way it takes three days to read a scan.  Lying.

Yes he did.  Said we have a good pipeline of talented young position players that will feed the monster for decades to come.  He said he thinks by 2034 we will be perfectly positioned to take advantage of the great drafts in 2019.

Not really. Just too new and too early. Had to go through imagining, get opinions, etc…
