    When you are consistently wrong about something, and you are wrong about Goff's arm strength, it's okay to just admit you are wrong, rather than persisting in doubling down on your wrongness. That will never make you right or respected.

    Any big league defensive stats for Maton are too light to have any meaning. He was consistently graded above average at short in the minors.
  3. Longgone
    No, it won't happen, but would probably improve the defense
  4. Longgone
    Best defensive alignment is probably Tork-1B, Baez-2B, Maton-SS, Schoop-3B, Vierling in right.
  5. Longgone
    Physically, sure, developing as a major leaguer, not at all.

    Both are excellent defensive players, and I wouldn't solidify anyone's ceiling based on the initial major league stats. Now re-sign Chafin.

    He's only had two years of pro ball, and only half season above A ball, with a fairly high k rate, and he has done nothing (yet) to show he can stick at third. He would have to make monumental leaps this offseason to be ready for the bigs. Possible, but unlikely.
  8. Longgone
    Doubtful he can be ready, iffy if he can handle third base.

    I don’t expect Harris to stand pat. All we really know is he hasn’t done much, yet.

    That's Rob Metzler

    It's like having a classic muscle car, running on five cylinders, and wanting a fancy new chrome gas cap.

    Well, it would be hard to be worse and slower, so he's got that going for him.

    I think we can take him at his word. His priorities are to add young talent and the prospect pipeline, and build up the medical, training, scouting and developmental systems. He'll add free agents on a very judicious basis.

    It is. You claim you would like relegation because it would limit playoff teams. It wouldn't necessarily. You could have more or less playoff teams, relegation is no factor in that. Also, you claim there would be more fan interest with relegation. Maybe so, maybe there would be less. Maybe you kill some franchises.

    That's a non sequitur
  18. Longgone
    You would still have dynasties, but based on talent and acumen, pure competition, not disproportionate resource advantages.
  19. Longgone
    You can limit the number of playoff teams without relegation, it adds nothing. I see no correlation.
  20. Longgone
    Minimally

    That seems like a lot of machinations, when all they need to do is share media revenue.

    I'm not sold on Haase as a regular catcher, I think his best role is as a utility guy.
  23. Longgone
    Relegation, to me, smacks of the mentality that the best way to manage is through fear and punishment, and I've just never subscribed to that, that is that worst way to manage any system.
  24. Longgone
    Injuries have taken the shine off of Feliciano's skills. If he can recover those, he's a very promising pickup.
  25. Longgone
    That is the problem, but it's not the mythical one I was addressing, however, relegation would address neither.
