The "at times" would be the key part. When he starts screwing himself into the ground swinging and popping up on the infield every other at bat, it really disgusts me bc I think he can be a good hitter. Yeah though, it was a stretch on my part

I understand, fair point about that being very frustrating and I agree he can do better. Hopefully he'll break out of his current slump soon. Also welcome to the board since you're new here. :)
 
AJ raising that trade value. Not one to pull for a player to get injured, but I wouldn't mind a 3b or catcher on a contender go on extended dl stint

Lots of the sell candidates have improved their trade value. If we do go into sell mode the team could do nicely.

Yeah...probably a mid rotation starter but those type of guys are great to have.

At this point, I'm not even sure I know what this means. Has Buehrle been a mid-rotation starter for his career? Was Tom Glavine one? It seems to me that in the mind of most scouts, there are about 5-10 aces, and every other good starter is either a 2-3 or a 3-4, and there seems to be very little difference.

I just don't like that scouting terminology because it's essentially meaningless.

Fair enough.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't ever see Wisler being considered one of the top 50 pitchers in baseball. Those two guys you mentioned were at one point in their careers. Wisler stuff doesn't seem all that sharp but he locates it well.

Food for thought. Never have Perez and Ciriaco starting the same night. EVER

Throw in Simmons and Gwinnett probably has a stronger 6-8.

I'm new so let me clarify that I'm not a Simmons' hater. He's actually one of my favorites, but boy can he be bad at times
