Seriously Vice...have you looked at Castellanos' numbers?

i guarantee you haven't.

 

[MiamiVice]

Just an observation Vice......learn from it

yeah... i am about as likely to take advice from you as I am likely to take business advice from da55bums.

A statue based on this??????????

I have faith McCann will continue to keep him in line.

When he isn't on a rehab assignment.

 

[StanMarsh51]

answer my questions stan... do you actually think the Royals bullpen is better this year? Do you think their rotation is better?

I think the rotation will be on par with last year, (they lost 2 of their worst reg season starters from last year, and many are expecting Ventura to be better if his peripherals are any indication). Bullpen should be worse because of Madson's loss, but should still be a top tier pen with Davis-Soria-Herrera at the front.

I don't think anyone but you sees a staff that's going to stink.

They have no depth. When someone gets injured.. they have NOTHING to dip into. Their pen is relying on Soria.. who is very hittable.. and very injury prone.. to hold up major innings.. and Wade Davis is going on year 3 of being a reliever.. show me the list of relievers to put up the stats he has the last 2 years for 3 years.

 

[broncosmitty]

no please... do tell how iglesias would be described as a butcher.

Okay.....Let me catch you back up to speed.

Iglesias has missed more time than he hasn't as a Tiger. This is fact. No opinion involved.

Of the four players who somehow managed to gut it out and appear in more games, one is a butcher.

And I assume his parents are your neighbors.

Iglesias is Van Gogh if his ear fell off on his own, not a butcher.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Only Chase Headley and Pablo Sandoval had a worse wRC+ among qualified 3B's in the AL.

Yeah, he's not a good 3B unless you're MiamiVice.

Of course, now that I've said this, I've subjected myself to 15 irrational posts comparing Casstelanos to Chi8enhall.

 

[MiamiVice]

False

NOPE.

He was #52 in baseball america in 2010
He was #42 in mlb.com's in 2010
He was #40 in mlb.com's in 2011
He was #96 in mlb.com's in 2013.

Not that I'm aware of.

But we've never been to Mexico together.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

who is very hittable.. and very injury prone..

Soria - very hittable and injury prone

Verlander - can never be hit ever and will pitch 275 innings this year.

 

[MiamiVice]

False

2011 Prospect Watch

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Castellanos also looks awful in the outfield. Chiz looks like gold Glover.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

i love having iffy school me on what i do.. like his old limp dick ass actually posts facts here or something.

He's got you pegged.

 

[MiamiVice]

Soria - very hittable and injury prone

Verlander - can never be hit ever and will pitch 275 innings this year.

care to tell me how i was wrong about iglesias being a top 50 prospect? care to tell me how he wasn't a touted prosect when he was the #1 prospect in the red socks farm in 2010?

 

[MiamiVice]

mlb.com.

Bless your blackened heart.

i guess you didn't see the #52 by baseball america.. and the fact he was considered the red sox top prospect that year.

 

[MiamiVice]

Castellanos also looks awful in the outfield. Chiz looks like gold Glover.

Chiz nickname also rhymes with what iffy loves to eat.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

i would love to know why you are a fan of the tigers when you clearly get jolly from their players injuries.

acknowledging that injuries occur is not synonymous with getting jollies from them.
