Kinda shocked at how good Bauer has become. Seems Not long ago he seemed like a bit of a lost cause. He still may be only scratching the surface too. 2 more years of arbitration control. Will enjoy while I can.
He's gonna fuck it up.

Would hate to see Verlander having to start to carry Bauer's jock, as well as Klubers.
:eek:

Kinda shocked you didn't mention Mike Scioscia.

I don't think he's a good manager, but I'm not sure you can blame him for this year. I'd say it's been a mix of injuries and the division just being tougher than expected.

I'm not. He was highly touted for a reason. I was furious when you traded for him.

He's a little bit of a goofball, but the talent has always been there.

Sometimes it takes a pitcher years to get their act together. Cliff Lee was a middling pitcher for years before emerging as a CYA winner in 2008. And as VikingFan said, Bauer was pretty highly touted going into the 2011 Draft and throughout the minors.

The AL Central should just concede a playoff spot to the worst of the A's/Yanks/Mariners.

Haven't kept up with baseball in months. Can anyone explain to me why the Angels are below .500 with the best player in baseball? Also, wtf is up with the Nationals?
Easy, Arte Moreno spends mad money on average players and Mike Sciocia is a fucking retard
