NEWS/RUMORS/AROUND MLB Thread

Obviously the people who make the baseball decisions disagree.

The whole "Puig as a martyr" scenario is laughable.

If they thought he could play he wouldn't have been shopped.

 

He should be calling up Puig's agent and issuing an apology right about now

 

yeah well I'm going to have to take issue with that decision

 

yay for 100% Howie Kendrick, LF'er!

god what a joke

all this shit making me think Reddick wasn't even an upgrade now but a replacement

 

I honestly don't know a whole bunch about Reddick, just that I see the occasional web gem from him. In the flurry of twitter updates I saw, I thought someone said that Reddick has a cannon and may have had a higher top speed over Puig this year for his arm.

 

Love Puig all you want, but you should put some respek on Howie's name.
Puig could learn a thing or two about consistency from Howie.

 

and another note: all this talk about Dodgers being so shitty vs. LHP: there goes Puig, one of our few RH sticks????????????????????????

 

quit defending Kendrick's 3 month defensive metrics he's a shitty OF'er

 

Absolutely.
I mean " traded or demoted " pretty much signals that " either way we're moving on "

 

Says the guy who defends Puig over his 2-3 week run at the plate against mediocre pitching.
You have no numbers to back up the claim that Howie's a shitty OF'er
You can get as crazy as you want right now, but those are the facts

 

All the talk about wanting a right handed bat...
He traded for a left one and are alienating one of our only RH ones

 

Puig's line VS LHP: .231/.294/.359
OPS way below average

 

JHFC, Pot meets kettle....

Says the guy who incessantly talks shit about Puig in every post, either that or that dumbfuck Toles pun.

Now you're trying to look rational? Get a grip (or keep it where it was)... If he's gone then be thrilled and shut the fuck up about it already!

 

Because he's CK's road dogg
Same reason why we can't dump AJ Lol
And CK's wanted Puig trade
CK the King
No, but yeah, I was just saying the same...they could've easily moved SVS or Kike to open up a spot for Puig, but instead they wanted to move on without Puig.

 

Says the guy who incessantly talks shit about the FO in every post
You get a grip, don't worry about me

 

IDGAF about you at all and I don't only talk shit about the FO. You, OTOH, are so obsessed with Yasiel Puig you probably have his bedsheets down there with you. If the FO does right and the team progresses I'll be happy as a pig in shit. I'm a fan first and foremost.

I also like this board and your laying Puig turds all day long, over and over and over just smells like, well turds.

STFU already, he's off the roster. NEXT!

 

yeah I do watch a fucking game he's horrible

 

Maybe they have specific things they want Puig to work on in the minors? Maybe his hammy isn't 100% and they want him to still get ABs and are ok with him not running all out in the minors? Maybe they wanted to demote him for a while but didn't want to while trying to trade him? It doesn't have to be so sinister. Right now it feels like we are getting 30% of the potential from Puig.
