Re: Team is
Rebuilding being held back by some ineffective players under large contracts, an inept outgoing POBO, and an unqualified culture killing manager.
Things will get better when Bloom is in charge and Marmol is fired

How are they being held by ineffective players under large contracts? Who specifically is being held back?

Contreras- Burly could shift to first, Church or someone else could come up
Fedde- McG **Mission accomplished
Mikolas- anyone who can throw 90+
Re: Team is
At least snouty recognizes the crummy roster isn't holding anyone back because the cupboard is bare.

Burly is playing and WillyCon is the best hitter on the team and a top defensive 1b. Nowhere near ineffective. And a leader where there were none.
The cupboard is bare for pitching...look at McFedde...bottom of the rotating arm and you can't even note a youngster to replace Lizard Puke.
No one is being blocked, plenty of ineffective rebuilding pieces. Church should have been up for Just Worthless or Snoot or Argo. JWorthless stays up because he has one remaing option.
I just don't see a blockage

Re: Team is
Scout, WTF are you talking about “blocked”?!!?
I said the rebuild is being held back. I’m saying it is an ineffective rebuild because we went into it with Mo Oli Nado Mikolas etc.
Comprehension will set you free.

Look, blocked/held back...my sentiment is the same. No one is being held back just as I noted.Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑27 Jul 2025 17:50 pm Scout, WTF are you talking about “blocked”?!!?

Re: Team is
Blocked? Held back? Whatever it’s happening imo. 3rd base is a huge block. We should have one of the young guys playing there, Gorman, Sagesse.Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑27 Jul 2025 17:50 pm Scout, WTF are you talking about “blocked”?!!?

To some extent 2nd or SS is an issue. Not sure what happens when JJ is ready. Does he move to outfield? I like Donovan at 2nd so it’s a mistake to put JJ there.
Just my opinion.

Re: Team is
I saw Gorman attempt to play 3B several time in the minors. Be prepared for Devers quality defense. What good is Burleson playing 1B over the teams 1st or 2nd best hitter? How is that an upgrade? That would just be more of a salary dump.blackinkbiz wrote: ↑27 Jul 2025 17:23 pmNado - Gormanscoutyjones2 wrote: ↑27 Jul 2025 17:10 pmWho is being held back by Nado?
