Altuve wasn't an extension like Cease, he was in the last year of his contract. He wouldn't allow it.

Not to mention Boras would not low him to sign an extension. His clients go to FA to look at deals. He could resign but not before the FA market is tested.

I believe it's where the very south parking lot and the old section of Mccormick place is.

Personally, as a fan who would enjoy going there instead of the current stadium, who cares. Just do it.

I disagree. It reminds me of Petco in Sandiego with grass seating and probably a small park that can be used by the public when the team is out of town. Builds fans of kids who play there.

Alaska is a fun place. Spent part of a summer there with a college league team.

Can't wait for those threads as you are correct.

Part of that dysfunctional FO.

He put him 3rd in the order in response to Hahn telling him not to play him so much.

Ever been to or seen Mt. Rushmore

Hard core punk. The runaways would have been priceless. I'm jealous.

I saw them at the aragon brawlroom. It was either 1980 or 1981.

The talking heads were phenomenal live. The other one off the top of my head that was drastically better live was the Ramones. They played everything at 3 times the normal speed. It was something like 25 songs in 40 minutes the last time I saw the. Throw in Blondie and there's nothing better than the old CBGBs lineup.

Its always possible. But if you are talking likelihood with injuries it's a different story.

That's what it soulds like from previous comments.

Do you really think they will lose 110? Are they that much worse than last year?

Any injury is never a good sign. But to go from never a good sign to we don't know if he will pitch this year is a pretty big leap.

They would need to build him up for back to backs. However with his injury history you never know.

Interesting. He could be.

OK. So you are going with once in how many years and trades and hanging your hat on that? Plus a shoulder injury is much different than an elbow. I'm not saying he won't have other issues even possible surgery as elbow issues tend to escalate. However it rarely progresses from inflammation to not pitching. There are steps in the middle.

So once in how many decades and you are going with that? And I believe he did pitch. No doctors aren't infallible hence it's called the practice of medicine. I'll wager he pitches this year.

Don't you think Seattle checked the medicals prior to agreeing to the trade?

I disagree that we know Getz doesn't value power. He doesn't value it right now with a barren team and a poor minor league system. This is just his first year of a significant change in the FO. I think we can all agree this was a bad defensive team and acquiring defense fist players is cheaper and a quicker way to start retoolong the team. As was stated above. This is year one. Let's see what his targets are as he progresses.

Actually it seems like a move where they talked about Cease with some of these names but couldn't get a deal done with bigger names so they settle on the lesser names deal.

I highly doubt they were all signed for that specific reason. It's more about who is gone than who is new.
