I don't know how you define deeply in debt but we owe China about $1 trillion out of our total debt which is down from 2013 when it was roughly $1.3 trillion. The majority of the federal debt is owed to Americans or the Federal government itself. In fact, I believe Japan holds more of our...

With Castillo gone and O'Brien released it looks like the new GM is putting defense as the priority for our catchers..... Not that O'Brien was a threat to play much if any Catcher...
Greinke's obsessive personality affecting his starts, Shelby Miller unable to cope with massive price he cost his new team affecting his starts, Daniel Hudson unable to deal with being on the trading block and imploding...Good lord! Sounds like the team needs a few psychiatrists on speed dial...
Apparently not far. Harvey and Whitson both already picked and Sale will come off the board soon. I will be interested to see how much they sign for compared to Loux.
Chris Sale and Karsten Whitson were both more talented pitchers with better stuff than Loux. I would even go further to say that Harvey is a better prospect. The Diamondbacks organization dropped the ball on this one. When the pick was made John Hart on MLB network said, "'IF he develops a...
Draft starts at 4. Right now on MLB network they are doing a preview and they said that Deck McGuire is almost MLB ready but he will be nothing better than a #4 or 5 starter in his career. Ouch.
I would be very unhappy if we draft Barrett Loux with the sixth overall pick. With a low 90s fastball and three off-speed pitches Loux has managed to produce good numbers in college. However, I think he is exactly the type of pitcher this organization has recently targeted. None of his...
I agree 100%. The college arms we took in previous years were low risk low ceiling guys... meaning that they have a great chance to make it to the majors but as low impact guys (i.e. back of the rotation arms).
Drew Pomeranz is the second best pitcher in the draft (behind Jameson Taillon)...
I was watching it live on the MLB network. Live it looked like a bad call, but in replays it looked horrendous. The throw clearly beat the runner. Not even close.
Same here. Would have prefered Mulvey for Willis but Buckner never really impressed while he was here. Guess that means the D-Train is going straight into the rotation.
