But hey, maybe we can coax something decent out of him. |

Lost today is how much Dylan Axelrod sucks.
Beach Balls, that's what he throws up there. Need to find someone else down in the farm to take his sport. These are wasted innings for perhaps someone you can actually build for the future with. |

Alexei was actually worse in '09 as far as runs saved goes:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...03-field.shtml I know his parents are in the US, but is it possible he's having some sort of family issue either domestic or international? The drop off from last year is so precipitous that I feel like there has to be larger things at work than just regression.

It's been obvious this year that Alexei is not the defensive shortstop he has been in the past. Nobody will like to read this but are his defensive skills worse simply because he's older than his given age of 31? Alot of these foreign ballplayers are actually older than what they say they are. He has missed routine ground balls this year. His defensive skills have dimenished this 2013 season. Is he actually alot older than 31?

We're not even halfway through the season yet, but it's obviously time to look toward 2014.
I'm pretty sure Rios and Beckham are the only two starting position players I'd want back for next season. Well, actually I wouldn't mind keeping De Aza -- as a fourth outfielder. Of course, if Hahn can get some pieces in exchange for Rios, he's gotta pull the trigger. Pretty sure Sale is the only guy I absolutely would not move. I'd be inclined to hold on to Reed, as well, but I wouldn't describe him as off limits in a deal.

Maybe he has fallen in love? Maybe he is enjoying his life a ton, since his entire life has been spent playing a game at a high level so he could enjoy an easier existence. Quite possibly, he is content and isn't practicing he fundamentals quite as hard as he used to. We forget the human condition sometimes, and that can be a problem. This is why I love the concept of loading the roster full of guys with upcoming contracts or a chip on their shoulders. They work harder. They want it a little more.

If somebody offered me a big return, yeah, I'd trade Reed. But I wouldn't actively try to move him. The guys with salaries are the ones that need to go first. Reed's status as the closer on the team is beside the point. |

Erik Johnson is very close to big-league ready. We'll see him in the rotation before the year is over.

Again, he's not untouchable. Just saying the offer would have to be very good. I wouldn't think twice about dealing Crain and Thornton. |

I heard Buddy Bell on the Score yesterday morning saying that Johnson is ready now and compared him to Quintana last year coming from AA. |
