Cool, still ignoring the rest of what was said. Got it.
This. is. a. message. board.
I'm sorry I did not meet the journalistic standards of this thread and I possibly overstated a position in the first portion of my post......and then went on to more reasonably discuss some of the dynamics with fan attendance and how resigning Lindor plays in to them.
Based on the very strict thesis criteria laid out above, overstating a point at the beginning renders all other discussion useless and will be solely fixated on for all eternity. Good to know.
Btw, I'm perplexed on that Maybin signing too.
I wish Chang was getting his major league shot right now.
I wish our pipeline was flowing more smoothly--not getting clogged with veteran AAAA talent.
Most teams have Maybin types in AAA. This signing may mean:
A) Because Maybin was in Giants camp and ready to play faster than CarGo, and the Indians need help until CarGo is ready.
B) Getting a look at a vet for cheap, ala Joyce.
C) Depth at Columbus if someone goes down.
D) All of the above
Don't think its a freak out to suggest that it's a dumb move that blocks prospects for no reason....Does every fan base freak out over minor league deals or is that a Tribe thing?
I'm pretty sure you've been blasted in other parts of RCF for shit takes, so this isn't uncharted territory for you.
Cut the hyperbole. Quit acting like you're some sort of victim. Don't state the obvious. It gets nothing accomplished.
and then when someone calls you out on it being a shit take, act like you're being persecuted?
Lurk more and post less.
Edit: Just to clarify, I have no problem with you coming here to discuss anything Tribe-related. I take issue with you going on for multiple pages either defending your dumb hot take, or attacking people who call it out as such. Bring the discussion. We need more engaged Tribe fans around these parts. Leave the asshattery at home.
Don't think its a freak out to suggest that it's a dumb move that blocks prospects for no reason....
But to answer your question, yes.

A. Maybin sucks.
B. Joyce has a history of performance with the bat, Maybin does not.
C. Depth at Columbus was not an issue. Mercado, Papi, Thompson, Barnes, Calica (AA), Marabell (AA). Daniel Johnson right behind them.
D. Maybin sucks again
