[Benway]

I have an awful feeling that we will completely waste Arias' potential.

it's unlockable, but who can unlock it?

The people who shit on Gabe non-stop will 100% be the people who shit on the organization non-stop if he goes somewhere and produces.

That sentence above just described the stereotypical Cleveland baseball fan.

His arm is worth the price of admission. And he can strike the damned ball.
But he's not there yet.

To Lee’s comment…I’m a bit at the point of saying “none of the above”. Even though I get vibes from Gabe that he will figure it out to some level somewhere and have a johnny Peralta or Gio Urshela type career

 

[KCOTT]

I will name any future offspring of mine Gabrial Arias Lastname (boy or girl) if he winds up having a career like Johnny Peralta or Gio Urshela.

Wow, how weird is it that your last name is Lastname.

It's along the lines of Not Sure.

Just watched this movie again last weekend. It gets more and more accurate every year.

I tell every young person, 25 and under, they need to watch it and keep in mind it wasn't supposed to be a documentary.

I have shit on him and has praised him, I totally expect for him to go somewhere else and potentially be a productive player, and won’t hold the organization back one bit, I seen what he has done here, and I’m close to feeling the same way with Rocchio……..

Small Details In 'Idiocracy' That Fans Noticed

While it was criminally underseen at the time of its release in 2006, Idiocracy has since become a huge cult classic that some viewers find reflects our current age perfectly. Directed by Mike Judge, the man behind the infamous animated series Beavis and Butt-Head, Idiocracy is a comedy that is...

This is what baffles me. I agree and I don't think that there is even an argument that Rocchio has a better approach at the plate right now and likely always will. I understand the frustration with Arias because I'm experiencing it as well, but you have to be able to see that Rocchio doesn't portray much potential while Arias' ceiling is quite high even if he's further from it and less likely to ever reach it. I've stated numerous times that Arias' career will be like Adames' when the smoke settles and I'm sticking with that. Good to great defense, more swing and miss then you like to see, but a productive bat due to his power. If they decide they don't want to wait on that from Arias I can certainly understand. I say move on to another possibility, but that possibility is not Rocchio. Rocchio is IKF or Nick Amed. They're place holders until something better comes along and that's what Rocchio is.
