So this core appears solid...

I think you could do a complete swap of the M's pen and Arkansas pen and the M's would be better off.

Perhaps the Arkansas pitching coach as the M's next year, or even the Arkansas pitching coach taking over as Tacoma's pitching coach?

Check my other post. You must be one of the callers I've listened to for years on post game radio shows criticizing any one who would dare say anything negative which should have been said about the lackluster effort on the part of this team. I did not post in cape there for I did not shout. Get real snowflake.

Don't worry about that. We're glad to have you and anyone else that wants to join in the conversatiion. The more the merrier.

By the way, you username seems familiar. Did you also post on the Seattle Times forum?

Yeah, I don't consider anyone in this bullpen to be a centerpiece for the future. Sadszeck and Adams maybe, but don't have any expectations whatsoever for Altavilla, and Brennan, I think the clock struck midnight

You started the confrontation. Please don't do it again. Thanks.

In his defense, when someone takes the time to start a thread it is probably a bit annoying when someone pisses on it without any explanation so consider an alternative approach. Thanks.

Thanks D-train I will cease and desist. Just defending myself but I see your point. Thanks!

All good! Totally cool to be down on the rebuild but just explain your reasoning. Thanks!

I think this depends on your definition of a core. I tend to think that most of these guys are what you want to add around a core on a contender. A contender needs a core of bonafide stars. I am talking top 20 in the game type players. None of the guys on this list are that nor will they be in My opinion. Vogey is leading the team in fWAR and he is ranked 85th in Baseball. They are nice pieces but not really a core. We don't really have a true number 3 hitter, a guy who is going to contend for a batting title or an ace pitcher. If you don't have that, you don't have a core. This team needs to develop a couple of TOR Starters and a Middle of the Order Bat out of the farm system or it is going nowhere.
