    All those "bullpen games" really loosened her up for the postseason. Allowed our guys not to be so tight and choke in October.

    There was definitely still choking in October. It was just consensual.

    Probably not done. Yates might not make an appearance before July. And he only costs 1 million this year. I think we'll sign someone else. Maybe someone to taker over the Tomlin role.

    Kinda figure Newk takes that role if he's not traded - he's out of options.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Yeah, that's what we need - down 9-1 in the fourth, let's bring in Newcomb to walk eight guys, hit two and see if we can push the game past 5:00.

    Strongly held belief that mop up guys need to throw strikes. Also starters, openers, relievers, high leverage guys, low leverage guys, bulk guys and closers. Newk should've been non-tendered.

    Newk is the kind of guy a rebuilding team (like the As) should be trying to fix and spin into gold.

    Sure. My point is, it's somebody else's turn to wait on Newcomb. If he turns into Koufax that's a cross we'll have to bear.

    Like I said in a different threat, there are 29 pitching coaches (and maybe Kranitz as well) who believe they can fix Newcomb. I just don't know if he would net us anything of value unless he was the tail end of a larger deal.

    I’m thinking he’d be a pretty attractive piece in an Olson package. If the As want to cut payroll and still have a chance to catch lightning in a bottle with a few guys that help them compete soon, guys like Contreras and Newk are exactly the types of players they should be targeting.
