I still think Andy's scathing coverage of Ned's "Kelvin's for the 7th inning" and his 2014 bullpen usage inspired Ned to always consult with Waka and Eiland for pitching changes from that point forward. I'm pretty thrilled Crow made the bold move to publicly criticize the team at a charity event after the 2014 postseason run. After all the team had done for him, one has to think Dayton was pretty fired up by those comments. Flynn has turned into a surprisingly useful reliever in exchange for Mr. Surly. |

I like Flynn too.
I remember Crow being unable to command his FB, and having to groove them which were promptly hit back harder than he threw them. But I looked up his Fangraphs data and it says his slider went from a huge plus to flat his last 2 years. Either it wasn't as sharp, or hitters stopped swinging at it knowing Crow couldn't get his FB over |

He's not the only one. Hosmer is playing, Esky and Salvy are playing for Venezuela, Butera is playing for Italy, and Soria is playing for Mexico.
Hate the thought of Salvy getting overworked. But maybe Soria will get his shit worked out over there. |

I'm ready to give Colon the 2B spot every day. Let Whit sub for people and work his way all around the diamond. Mondesi in AAA or AA go get his reps. Just give Colon everyday reps, see what he can do. He's in his prime, he's busted his ass this offseason to transform his body. He's shown he can hit in extended ABs in the minors. Lets give him a shot. As I said many times before Mondesi was brought up, he's just nowhere near ready offensively. I'd like for him to get his confidence back in the minors.

Don't think he can play 2B defensively. Just think it would be atrocious to watch him try. Hope I'm wrong. I'd hold onto him until we decide if we are resigning Moose or not, or if we are confident signing Moose trade him.

If the Marlins ever had a stable ownership group with money, it could easily be one of the top franchises. Miami is a free agents and Hispanic players dream.

New ownership in Miami, would probably put the Marlins in the Hosmer sweepstakes.

Remember when the Marlins would just win the World Series every six years, suck for 5, then repeat? If I recall correctly, they would just go crazy nuts spending for a short period of time. Win WS. Give up for years. Go crazy again.

My point is that if you're grading draft picks 1-5, with 1 being Bubba Starling and 5 being an All-Star major league player, (Or 1 being Fail, 3 being meet, 5 being exceed expectations), I wouldn't grade Crow as a 1. It's not a disaster pick. It's a 2 (Need improvement). They got SOMETHING out of him. Three seasons of above-average middle relief and six seasons of control of Flynn, with one of those already being another above-average middle relief season. Quote:
Most frustrating thing about Crow is that KC took the chance on the wrong Mizzou pitcher with mechanical concerns. Scherzer instead of Hochevar drastically changes the landscape. Hindsight, though.

Max Scherzer a Royal. We should all be so lucky. I can only imagine. Or getting Kinsler when the Rangers foolishly surrendered him for a fading fatty.
I stopped doing that after our glory run. All the mistakes just roll off now. We got the title. |
