2016 Draft Position

[Deester11]

The team has rebounded very nicely from that tough win where Maybin hit the walk-off.

Resilience.

That sir is very funny.

Going according to plan I'd say. lets make sure the Phils feel the heat from us by seasons end.

Pretty solid day for the draft slot.

 

[Heyward]

.5 game behind Mil and Oak for 5th, 1.5 or so back from Cin for 4th.

Looks like we'll jump to 6th if Oak hangs on, up 8-2 right now.

Unfortunately, Col is a winnable series, and Miller/Julio pitch, so yeah.

Yep, we are. Marlins, Phillies, and Rockies are all now tied for the worst record in baseball, and we're 3 games back.

We'll probably extend the gap a little with this coming homestand - series against not only Colorado but Miami as well, with NYY thrown in. But after that stretch, our schedule gets really tough again. September has road series against Washington, NYM, Philadelphia, and Miami, and home series against Toronto, NYM, and Philadelphia, then end the year with home series against Washington and St. Louis.

I think we have a pretty good chance of ending up with a top 5 pick. I think we'll end up with 69 or 70 wins.

Agreed, though I think we end up slightly below 69 wins. If we simply go 2 games below .500 the rest of the way we'd wind up 70-92. The way we are playing I think we wind up worse than 3 games below .500 the rest of the way.

I dunno, I was told we'd win 83-87 games

We can do it!

 

[nsacpi]

This team is gonna make a run at the Phillies.

Oh, yeah. We're really sucking a big **** now.

It kind of feels like Rachel Phelps is in charge here in July/August. Trade everybody playing well. Repeat until resilience, skill and pride are completely excised.

I never even heard of most of the dudes in our bullpen.

I'm concerned we don't have the Lairdership and Grit to do that.

We have Gomes. I think we can count on him.

 

[zitothebrave]

We have Gomes. I think we can count on him.

So what you're saying is weshould let Gomes play short stop? Or am I just hearing you incorrectly.

Really we could play him anywhere and he could help us gain ground on the Phillies.

I'd say have him take Shelby's place in the rotation, but we always seem to lose when Shelby starts anyway.
