If there are fingers involved in your colonoscopy, you probably want to find a new doctor.

To be fair, they were playing the 2011 Twins. The same group that picked the lineup could have taken the field and had a chance to win that game.

Well, let's just throw trades out, too, since Ryan hasn't made trades for big name players, either. He's only wasted everybody's time trading for unproven prospects like Nathan and Liriano.

And...

But with the recent focus on concussions throughout sports, a guy with his history is going to get viewed differently than say, a guy who has had TJS. One ailment physically heals, the other is still...

Anyone know if Eddie Gaedel has any grandkids floating around?

Or you use other assets to trade for pitching, or sign useful free agents to fill in gaps wherever they may be on the roster. There are many avenues to fill needs, which is why drafting for need is...

Not arguing the rest as the spring results go, but Hicks is a flat-out superior fielder. Mastro is good enough to be an acceptable CF, but profiles better as an above-average corner guy defensively....

Sure, if you want to see guys get on, and then stand on a base. Those kind of guys will only even attempt to run toward the next base 53% (rough estimation) of the time when the person at bat puts...

Yeah, and even if he isn't actually up at that point, he should go up and hit when someone else is facing the situation to be the "Decider". That's what "Deciders" do. They "Decide". And on the...

And since there's no real point in taking it seriously, it will continue, and nobody in the US will care. As they shouldn't.

Everyone knows that quiet guys can't win. Just ask perennial loser Mariano Rivera.

Because Ryan basically insulted Santana with his extension offer on his way out the door, leaving Smith with essentially no chance of re-signing him, forcing him to make a deal. Pierzynski was dealt...

Yet, strangely, the MLB runs leaderboards aren't dominated by low OBP fast guys. I wonder why that is?

Your completely made-up and non-fact-based situation certainly does point to you being correct.

I forget, what GM hamstrung Ryan's leverage before the Pierzynski trade the way Ryan did to Smith prior to the Johan trade?

The guy literally has his own thread. Can't be bothered to post there?

And, as also stated before, he either thinks having a barely-trained catcher catch is better than punting at worst a handful of ABs from the DH, or he's planning around the infinitesimally small...

No. Because as was previously stated, the second your catcher goes down, the one DHing shifts behind the plate and you give up the DH for the game without a second thought. Having a pitcher hit or...

Except Correia signed BEFORE most of the comparable guys, and got more money and years. They weren't "left" with Correia, they made a concerted effort to pick him above several others. Hence, the...

What asset should bring you a greater return five years down the road: Justin Upton or Rick Porcello?

I'm not sure what the exact calculations are that go into it, but wouldn't the qualifying offer amount likely go up from the $13M or whatever it was at this year? It does require him to have a good...

They'd have to offer him a high dollar qualifying offer, which he probably doesn't turn down, since there's a good chance it would be significantly more than he'd get on the open market.

When professional scouts have been watching and evaluating players for months before the draft, when the time comes, they absolutely know who they consider the best player available at the time they...
