Ugh, Archer is so frustrating. When he's on, he's really really good. It's just so rare.

Wow, great play by Newman there.

I generally undervalue Polanco to an unfair degree, but even so does he have the bat to DH? I see him as more of a 4th outfielder on a good team than a DH.

I wouldn't do this deal, but the fact that it isn't a crazy one shows how badly we got fleeced. Bell for Archer. Ouch.

<t>I don't expect to win a battle with Scott Boras. But at some point, if you're going to hold yourself out as a major league franchise, you have to step up. As much as it hurt, letting Cutch go was probably the right call. But if Bell is for real, you just can't let him leave this early in his care...

<t>I'm of two minds on this. I've always believed (and still do) that the closer role is overrated. The Pirates have shown that all you need is an above average reliever with decent control to fill the slot. But at the same time, it sure is nice to see Vasquez come into the game, and know that for o...

<r>Is it possible to sell any lower? Last year he might have netted a lot, but he hasn't shown anything yet this year and is off an extended injury. This would be subtraction by subtraction unless you can get a good arm for him, which seems unlikely.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <URL url="https://www.mlbt...

<t>This is the most frustrated I've been in over a decade. There's just no justification for this roster construction. It's bad enough to start the season without a passable AAAA #6 and #7 starter, but there's certainly no excuse for having the entire staff be this decimated, and not even attempting...
