I think today is Dansby's 46th day of service as he was brought up August 17th. That would mean regardless of whether he gets 5 or more at bats today, he would lose his rookie eligibility today.

With 1 game left, we will end up with somewhere between the 2nd and 6th pick. 1. Twins 2. Rays 3. Braves 4. Reds 5. A's 6. D'Backs 7. Padres If we lose today, we will either pick 3rd if the Rays lose, or 2nd if they beat the Rangers. However, if we win we will pick either 4th, 5th or 6th...

1. Twins 2. Rays 3. Braves 4. Reds 5. A's 6. D'Backs 7. Padres With just 2 games yet to play, we will now pick anywhere from 2nd to 6th. We are 1/2 better than the Rays, 1/2 worse than the Red, A's and D'Backs, and 1 1/2 worse than the Padres. 2nd through 6th are all still very much in...

Dansby now has 120 at bats. He can have only 10 more in these last 3 games, or an average of 3.333 per game to keep rookie status. He has averaged 3.429 in his first 35 games, though except for last night were all in the 8th hole. Gonna be very close. Surely we wouldn't let him lose his...

1. Twins 2. D'Backs 3. Rays 4. Braves 5. Reds 6. A's 7. Padres With just 3 games yet to play, we can still pick anywhere from 2nd to 7th. We have to do 1 game worse than the D'Backs and Rays to get back to the 2 slot, 1 better than the Reds and A's to slide down to the 6th slot, and 2...

With the win tonight, our 10th out of the last 11, we have now dropped to the #4 slot. Keep winning boys, who wants the 2nd pick when you can win a few bull**** games, lose around $4MM in slot money and get the 7th pick instead.

Dansby is again in the starting lineup tonight, and Snit has already stated all his starters will be in for the last 3 games. Swanson is currently at 117 at bats. If he accumulates 14 more (3.5 per game), he loses rookie eligibility. If we allow that to happen we are idiots.

D'Backs just lost to the Nats, so now if we beat the Phils tonight, we will drop another slot to #4. On the other hand, if we lose and the Rays win we would get back to the #2 pick. Very important games here at the end of the season towards our draft position. Two draft positions is also...

That's true, but this team is playing so well right now with so much confidence, I fully expect us to win each and every night. We've won 9 of the last 10 and are hitting on all cylinders. While it sucks to potentially drop in the draft, I have to admit that it is quite exciting to think about...

Yep, with 4 games remaining, all this winning has finally dropped us to the #3 position. 1. Twins 2. Rays 3. Braves 4. D'Backs 5. Reds 6. A's 7. Padres If we win our last 4, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if we do, we most likely would drop to the 7th position.

It's just frustrating as hell to have this team in the #1 or #2 draft slot all year long, then right here at the end of the season we get hot and could slip down several slots in the draft.

It's gonna really suck in next year's draft when teams like the Rays, Reds or D'Backs pick ahead of us because of these meaningless wins, and select guys we would have loved to have gotten. No you can't just tank, but goddamn you can stop using all your top guys in every friggin inning. Let...

I'll be damned, down 6-0 in the 4th and come back to win 7-6. This one could end up being quite costly in next year's draft. In these last 5 games, to keep the #2 slot in next year's draft: We can do no better than the Rays and D'Backs. We can do no more than 1 game better than the Reds...

Athletics: 2 at LAA, 4 at Seattle

In these last 6 games, to keep the #2 slot in next year's draft: We can do no more than 1 game better than the Rays and D'Backs. We can do no more than 2 games better than the Reds and Padres. We can do no more than 3 games better than the A's. We will pick somewhere between 2 and 7.

We can still pick as low as 7th.

If the game isn't made up, it takes away our tiebreaker over all the teams except the Reds, since there will now be no ties. It could end up costing us a few slots in the draft.

With 6 games remaining, we will pick anywhere from 2 to 8.

Snitker is managing to keep his managerial job, not what is best for this organization. For example, Ruiz was brought up a week ago and hasn't had a single at bat. This was a perfect time to give him a few starts to see how he fared and give him a taste of the bigs, yet he rots on the bench...

We finished strong last year, and how much did that help us to start this year? Lost the first 9 and were the laughing stock the first 4-5 months.
