OK, sorry about that.

Rotation by end of next year:

Aiken
Kluber
Carrasco
Bauer
Salazar

There, you happy now?

Be serious with me here for a second...do you honestly think a teenager, coming off of Tommy John with no professional experience and who will most likely start the year off on one of the short season teams roster while on an innings limit, will actually make it to the majors his 1st year? Cause if you really do, give me some of whatever you are on.

Replace Bauer with McKenzie and it looks good

McKenzie is unhittable right now

I can't, I pulled Bauer once and Bimbo went off on me. McKenzie is too thin, too. He needs to add more weight before I put him on the Aiken/Feller fasttrack.

I don't give a shit about you pulling Bauer...I just don't get how someone with any common sense can think Aiken makes it to the majors next year...

I have a better question than ones that are trying to goad me into publicly casting doubt on Brady 'Arm of Feller' Aiken: why on earth do you have Rob Kaminsky, who threw twice in the org before finishing the year on the DL and looked pretty hittable, an all-star for the Tribe minor leagues? What did Ryan Merritt do to you? In fact, I see little difference between the two.

Look man, I have nothing against Aiken. Special talent, very special talent. But when you have been dealing with arm issues the last 2 years and have recently had Tommy John, you are going to be coddled and moved along slowly...that's just the reality of the situation...has absolutely nothing to do with his talent.

And I included all of Kaminsky's stats...just because most of what he did this year didn't come while he was with the Indians organization doesn't mean it didn't happen. Guy had a 2.24 ERA in over 100 IP and allowed 0 HRs over that time...I don't care if most if it came with St. Louis, that's damn impressive from a 20 year old...and if you don't like what I did, make your own...no ones stopping you.

You angrily demanded answers from me on why I think a transcendant talent will transcend. Whether the Indians let him do that or not is to be seen. I asked a simple question on why a guy made a Tribe all-star team for numbers put up with the not-Tribe. Not sure why either my initial declaration on Aiken and my subsequent question would anger you.

I don't even know what you are talking about anymore...you say Aiken is in the rotation next year, and now you are just trying to say he is a transcendent...ent by the way...talent...all I was doing was saying you are wrong for thinking he will be in the majors next year. Plain and simple. You're the one who got all defensive, mouthing off about me to someone else, and then calling out my own post from a few days ago that has nothing to do with what we were even talking about in the 1st place. I'm not mad...just expect better.

You first lobbed an expletive-filled one-sentence response, then when I changed it to try and calm you down, in a follow-up you accused me of substance abuse. I'm sorry if that turned me off from a loaded question that essentially demands I cast doubt on my lofty expectations of Aiken's talent. And I don't see how asking a simple question to you about the rankings you chose to post is so off-topic.

Wait, you tried to "calm me down" by proceeding to respond to my post, which critiques you for having Aiken up in 2016, by then posting that he's going to be our ace and then dropping a nice condescending "you happy now"? Yeah, I'm really buying that over you just trying to fuck with me.

And I'm not questioning Aiken's talent...like where in your right mind do you think admitting that they need to take it slow with him after his arm issues/surgery is admitting that he isn't a special talent? Cause the 2 don't go hand in had you know.

On to something else...this is the dumbest shit ever.

Go Tribe

Unless I'm completely whiffing, @macbdog appears to be trolling you pretty good and you seem to be taking the bait completely.

Anybody go to the Clippers game tonight? The last out consisted of Tyler Holt making a over the shoulder diving catch. Place was packed at almost 12,000 people.
