Turns out the sky may not be falling after all.

What are you talking about, the season was over when we were 0.500 after 60 games.

Ya. The one negative from the 2 game series. He needs to figure things out soon.

It's time to call Morales up and send Schultz down. We have to see if this guy has anything.

Schultz has actually done pretty well hasnt he?

Sure but they have to make a decision on Morales and there's really no one else you can send down at this point unless they're going to release Storen.

I particularly liked the idiot who said we wouldn't be able to beat the Rangers in the playoffs after the loss on Saturday to the A's. The same Rangers who have lost 13 of their last 17. But he was a pretty obvious troll.

Does Loup have any options left? He's been bad too.

I totally forgot Loup was even with the team. He's only had three appearances this month. I believe he does. He was optioned earlier this season.

That's pretty much average for him since he rarely takes a walk. He is what he is.

Yup wouldn't expect more then that elite level defence and a streaky hitter for a CF.

Pompey is the answer at that position long term, but Pillar's defence plays for now.

I can't see Pompey ever topping what Pillar brings right now. Elite defense and an average bat are a tough combo to duplicate. Pompey might hit better but he won't deliver more wins.

Fair. But in 2015 in which he was sent down for struggling, Pompey posted an 81 wRC+, which is probably right around Pillar's ceiling at the plate. Defensively Pillar is a beast, would never argue that, but Pompey is 4 years younger and a fine defender himself.

Either way, I'm pretty sure they're letting Saunders walk and we will see Pompey and Pillar in the OF together next season. I just think based on tools and potential Pompey has the goods, but hard to argue with what Pillar brings day in and day out.
