January 17, 20206 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1217934239443845121[/MEDIA] It won't surprise me if Puig has no choice but accept our 1year /8~10MM contract offer eventually. I don't know if it's still even on the table?
January 17, 20206 yr That’s your opinion. ok? I stand behind what I said. Indians are the 3rd best team in that division.
January 17, 20206 yr Holy hell I agree with Das. White Sox will finish better than the Indians this year. They had a great offseason and their young players are impressive as shit. I suspected the Twins would take a huge step back this year but adding Donaldson was a great move. They're going to crush baseball again next year
January 19, 20206 yr It won't surprise me if Puig has no choice but accept our 1year /8~10MM contract offer eventually. I would imagine teams are reluctant due to the length, rather than the AAV. He should be able to get something close to the number he wants on a one-year deal.
January 27, 20206 yr If Puig lower down the asking price to a much more reasonable number, I think it's not a bad idea to add him to this team to boost the bargaining chips in the TV deal negotiations.
January 31, 20206 yr The Indians still have the best pitching in the division. I'm taking Lucas Giolito over any pitcher the Indians throw out there. So no.. The Indians do not.
January 31, 20206 yr If Puig lower down the asking price to a much more reasonable number, I think it's not a bad idea to add him to this team to boost the bargaining chips in the TV deal negotiations. And play him where? Once Dickerson signed the Puig door closed. It was never an AND situation it was more a one or the other situation.
January 31, 20206 yr I'm taking Lucas Giolito over any pitcher the Indians throw out there. So no.. The Indians do not. One pitcher compared to an entire rotation, though. Now if Kopech returns and dominates we have a different story.
January 31, 20206 yr One pitcher compared to an entire rotation, though. Now if Kopech returns and dominates we have a different story. Who is even considered the #1 in the Indian rotation? Carrasco coming off cancer? Clevenger who I dont think has pitched 150 ip Bieber who is more a mid rotation guy? Kuechel at this point should bring some great stalibity to that rotation and I think they should be improved defensively. Maybe. But yes, if Kopech is the same Kopech before injury it almost doesnt matter what the White Sox throw out there in the 4/5 rotation spots.
January 31, 20206 yr I also am not a big Gio Gonzalez fan, but he is a solid rotation opton as well for the Pale Hose.
January 31, 20206 yr I think I"d also take Berrios over any of the top 3 in the Indian roation right now as well for what its worth.
January 31, 20206 yr I'm taking Lucas Giolito over any pitcher the Indians throw out there. So no.. The Indians do not. Lol ok Mike Clevinger and Shane Bieber must be scrubs. Also, a starting rotation is more than 1 guy.
January 31, 20206 yr Civale is pretty decent. Plus they got James Karinchak in the bullpen and he scary.
January 31, 20206 yr Lol ok Mike Clevinger and Shane Bieber must be scrubs. Also, a starting rotation is more than 1 guy. Again, I"m taking Lucas over ANY PITCHER THE INDIANS THROW OUT THERE
January 31, 20206 yr Keep in mind that Das wants to question Clevinger’s track record but Giolito basically has one elite 1st half on his resume at the big league level. Before last year, people thought he was trending toward bust status and then after his great 1st half, he put up a non-ace like 3.76 2nd half ERA. But yeah, Mike Clevinger and Shane Bieber don’t belong in the same sentence as Giolito...
January 31, 20206 yr Again, I"m taking Lucas over ANY PITCHER THE INDIANS THROW OUT THERE You’re wrong, but that’s nothing new.
January 31, 20206 yr Who is even considered the #1 in the Indian rotation? Carrasco coming off cancer? Clevenger who I dont think has pitched 150 ip Bieber who is more a mid rotation guy? Kuechel at this point should bring some great stalibity to that rotation and I think they should be improved defensively. Maybe. But yes, if Kopech is the same Kopech before injury it almost doesnt matter what the White Sox throw out there in the 4/5 rotation spots. Clevinger threw 200 innings in 2018 which is more than Giolito has ever thrown. But yeah, 150...

White Sox have a better record in 2020. Lucas is a better pitcher than any of Clevenger, Bieber or Carrasco in 2020. Put your money where your mouth is.
January 31, 20206 yr Author Put your money where your mouth is. Considering all the germs on money I think this is a bad idea.

January 31, 20206 yr Fair enough, what’s the bet? Loser has to donate $2 for each game the winning bettor's team wins in 2020. To the charity of the winner's choice. Do it, you reproductive organs.

I like this idea, turn your hatred of one another into a good deed that helps others. That my friends is Omnichannel Integration at work.
