    DOB recently said he's not even throwing off a mound (he's long tossing to try to build arm strength). So, he's not an option this year, and given that they're apparently trying to change Newcomb's delivery now, he's not going to be one either.

    Sucks so much that when we finally got a good bullpen, our rotation went in this turmoil.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Interesting. Does anyone know an example of a guy that changed delivery at mlb level successfully?

    Why is talk about Folty and Newk being had in the topic about Alonzo???

    Just more off topic talk.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Betcha the check they're sending is for the same amount as the one we sent the Reds for Schebler.
    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?

    I think it's pretty common for guys who have reached the majors to change their delivery.

    I hope it's not Norm Cash. He's dead. Dave Cash is 72. Kevin Cash is only 42, but he's currently managing the Rays.

    Braves didn't need Alonso, so they sent him yonder.

    Except for that time he became a side-armer over night.

    Looking forward to you explaining how that's not really "changing his delivery", since you're never wrong.

    I did forget about that; that certainly counts.

    Pleasant to hear from you as always Enscheff.
