Ricky must be a traditionalist.

Yeah...but pretty good odds we'll get them.

Gee...I wonder why they record them.

Actually looks kind of good.

.500 within our grasp once again. Would be nice to string a few wins together and make a run at this thing.?

Bummer is nearly untouchable but I agree...everyone is tradable for the right return. Hey...Babe Ruth was traded. Enough said.

In agreement totally with your assessment of Colome. Just wanted to remind you that not all trades are for future players. You can trade for an organization #1 pitching prospect or #1 outfield prospect who may be blocked at the present time. Also, of course current major leaguers. Chapman for Torres set an example of what might happen. I'm not suggesting Colome is another Chapman...just that quality high end closers don't come cheap.

Rick has extensions as a specialty.

I know where you're coming from. Extensions could solve those problems I would think.

Has worked for Tampa.

The Free Dictionary defines Fan as an ardent & enthusiastic supporter of some person, team or activity.

Don't understand Ricky not giving this a try. Seems obvious under our current circumstances.

Winning in big bunches is coming soon. Keep the faith...not long now.

Cardinals are 1 game back of the Cubs. This is how overpays happen. When a team has a legitimate chance to win a division...they feel a little more inclined to not let it go without a fight.

Never bet against the Sox.

You have to admit...Alonso is overdue for a monster game.

An excellent suggestion!

That's why we should just keep him. He is pitching fine again but probably to late to get back anything of value. Although, you never know...it only takes one desperate buyer.

The All Star Game has very little relevance for me. A popularity contest that favors the large market teams.

I wonder if he knows of this boards skills in this regard?

Anyone can be flipped if the price is right. None of these first four guys should be dumped for salary or token prospects. I believe Herrera was hurt for awhile and the others will just be replaced with same or lesser guys. Bummer is off limits short of something unbelievable developing. Hahn is good at getting overpaid when he has something to sell so I'll trust him on this.

Dodgers have a lot of depth in the outfield. I wonder if Alex Verdugo could be had.

He is deserving of the honor.

Nice out of the box suggestion.

I like our chances.
