I like the prospect of it just to go full on Heel Sox

Aaron rowand was really damn good in 04, 05 and 07. A lot like Eaton though, they moved on at the right time.

I know they're not. But I think you can get by with one obvious hole for a year or until the deadline. The first order of business is pitching. Then fill one of those holes, if you can fill both, great.

I like this move a lot. I think you can go into 2020 with Yolmer or Tilson/Cordell in the lineup, and expect to be pretty competitive. I think you fill one of those holes, then go add pitching and we're in pretty good shape.

Abreu , Maybe. But CJ Cron has been a hell of lot better than Abreu so I definitely don't see what you see there. But I am absolutely not giving them a guy that can help them in 2020 in Colome.

I hadn't noticed

Yup. Service time be damned, it's more important they all be good at the same time. You got your savings on Eloy, you're getting them on Cease, Giolito, Moncada. It's time to stop worrying about 2027 and start worrying about 2020. If you're going to punt 2020, whatever then, wait until April, but punting would be a bad decision. It's not because I want to be entertained in 2019, it's because I want the best possible version of Luis Robert in 2020

I don't think Madrigal is a guy that goes deep into counts, he's too good at putting the ball in play.

That Hahn dude is really sticking to his guns

Maybe he hurled, no one but Rutherford noticed

Josh Nelson hears upser tummy, which is ....something

Dumb stupid twitter

Sounds like it could be worse. Trying to think of what the worst that that could be is. Rib?

With a back injury I’d imaging we’d be getting some ‘scary scene’ type stuff if it was anything serious

Call him hide n seek cuz ready or not here he comes

The scholarship thing is news to me, so I take that back

Maybe this is just me, but going to the minors on 22nd round money seems really irresponsible.

They had a core that was ready to compete and those guys weren’t ready to contribute. They’re going to need to do the same thing again. The Tatis one is the only one you can’t defend. If samardzija was the guy you thought you were getting no one would care that Marcus semien figured it out four years later. I’m also not sure why you’re sweating Frankie Montana who is on his third team before he figured it out. They need to be better at pro scouting, not scared to move mid tier prospects.

Is this a sincere take? Because it’s a doozy.

Agreed. And it’s gotta be a guy in at least AA

Pretty close to twenty when you consider it’s only 2.5 years

Disagree. I'm trying to win the game, I don't care one bit about your no hitter.

Those trades don't happen and you're still looking at a team trying to make do with Sale, while starting guys like JB shuck in the outfield. No use crying over spilled milk. All this line of thinking does is paralyze you when it's time to make moves.

Just making sure there wasn't more to the quote than I saw. But, man, bad tactics is one thing, throwing your guys under the bus instead of owning your mistake is an absolute no go.

You mean cordell?
