I was thinking the same thing Shack. What are they doing, leaking one clue at a time?

From what Craig said earlier is that if he gave the name it would reveal who told him.

Or it's a source so well-placed that if he or she gave me the name he or she would be outed as the source because so few people know the information.

Bronson Arroyo had that article some months back where he admitted he puts tons of supplements in his body, and he isn't sure if they were all necessarily MLB approved. Could be him, I suppose, but of course that is a random guess like everyone else is making.

EDIT: Here is the article I was talking about: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4396083

How does this become a game of 20 questions? If it's a leak, then wouldn't a decent leak know who the hell it is?

He can't say who it is or it gives away his source?

But then it's OK to say it's not a NY player.

Then, it's OK to say it's an NL pitcher.

Then, it's OK to say it's an NL-Central pitcher.

But it's not OK to say who it is?

I'm calling shenanigans. Sounds to me like somebody wanted to be the center of attention...

By he in my above quote I meant he/she as in Craig's source. Sorry I wasn't clear on that I thought Craig's actual quote cleared it up. If you think Craig is just jerking folks along I don't think its his style. I have been reading him since his Shysterball days and I think its more a matter of him not being used to having actual "sources" in the know.

The next two clues will be...

"He plays for (insert team name here)."

"He wears number (insert number here)."

"See source, I didn't name him. See? See?"

So what, does that make it false? Why care?

Because being self-righteous also makes you the center of attention.

Oh, great... the guy is dribbling out clues and BS'ing everybody about why he's being a tease... and I'm self-righteous for just pointing out he's being a tease? Uh-huh...

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Three Run Homer · Posted

      If we don't want to trade one of our big three (or four?) prospects, then focusing on bad contracts or rentals is our only option to salvage this season.  Better to do that than to do nothing.  If we only do rentals, we'll need to add one or more starters over the offseason through free agency.  If Rubinstein has told Elias that he's willing to spend in free agency, then that reduces Elias' need to get a starter who is controllable beyond this year.

      That STRK column in the standings is very persuasive.  Look elsewhere and you'll see that in spite of the L5 they still have the top run differential in the AL and are closer to the East lead than they were a week ago.

      This is a mix of hitting two really hot teams, our pitching attrition, and just some bad luck. Everything is not going their way right now.  Sure, I think the rotation needs some help after losing Bradish, Means, Wells and Kremer and yes, Elias should have done more this offseason to sure up this pen (I was saying that all offseason and through spring), but when the team pitches good it doesn't hit and when they score a bunch, their pitching stinks.  This team was not going to continue on a 105-win pace with their pitching injuries, but luckily, the Yankees have not been playing great either after being lights out for awhile (while the Orioles were red-hot).  No this team is not going to go into a giant tailspin where they end up under .500 and yes, they will eventually break out of this. We saw in the schedule this was a tough stretch of opponents and lack of off days and it's just kind of caught up just as they hot two teams getting hot.  They're going to be fine when it comes to making the playoffs. Now, do they have a deep playoff caliber rotation and bullpen? No, I think they need to make moves, move that are going cost some players people don't want to see go, but when you have never drafted and developed a major league pitcher in 5 years of drafting, this is what your strategy was devised for.  Develop the bats, trade/acquire for the arms. Now it's time to see if Elias is able to fulfill his strategy.

      Not addressing the bullpen other than a stopgap closer in the offseason is kinda coming home to roost now. Doesn't help that Cano and Perez haven't been very good either. The rotation has just been pure bad luck. When your 2/4/5 plus Wells are gone, sooner or later you are going to feel it. Irvin and Suarez have pitched above expectations but you gotta assume they are going to settle into mid-4 ERAs sooner or later. No idea what the front office is going to do by the deadline. It's a sellers market it seems. I will say I hope major moves are made between now and the start of the 25 season, because it is pee or get off the pot with a lot of these guys on the farm.  And if Burnes isn't back, there is a TON of pitching that needs to be added.
