Mendick at 2B until Madrigal returns, Garcia in RF when Timmy is back. DH Mazara against tough righties. I want to give Mazara a chance but we're trying to win games and Garcia is en fuego.

Nothing's going to happen at the TDL.

Garcia is going to get a starting CF job somewhere this winter.

GARCIA!!!!

Nomar...hey.

Yeah really.

They're getting blown away by 91 mph fastballs.

I can't wait until they face a pitcher that can't put it wherever they want. 2 days is enough. Bieber is gonna be fun, stuff+command.

It's a play on that, yes.

Yup, the Yasmani Grandal Experience.

Jesus Garcia......

That was an emergency hack. He thought it was going to be a ball.

Dear lord another guy with impeccable command.

With Gonzalez it's always the latter. He's had a very high BB% even when at his best. He'll drive you crazy with walks.

Surprised how many bats Gonzalez still misses with diminished stuff.

I'm bracing myself for Jerry to slash payroll this winter. Any replacements for EE/Gonzalez/Mazara/Rodon are going to have to come from within. Expecting Rodon to get non-tendered, and possibly Lopez too.

Jerry's not going to do that, given that he's whining about the 1.6M owed to Boylen.

Strome wishes he could skate and defend like Nylander. If you melded Strome's body, brain and offensive tools with Nylander's skating you'd have a top 5 player in the NHL. Actually all you have to do is give Strome and Nylander a brain transplant. Not possible, but you get the picture.

I changed it...I meant that they convinced JR to do it.

I'm convinced that the rebuild doesn't happen without Tatis getting traded. That was the "oh shit what have I done?" moment where Hahn/KW re-evaluated the team and convinced JR to do it. So we can have Tatis, but then we don't have Moncada/Robert/Eloy et al.

We need to pretend like he was never here. He never played affiliated ball in the States with the Sox. I approve this post because it's going to be an issue for the next decade and a half at least.

LMAO...good luck with that.

Given what Jerry has said publicly and that he won't even fire Boylen, I'm expecting EE/Gonzalez/Cishek to be bought out and zero activity in FA.

It's beating a dead horse at this point. Let's agree to disagree. I'm saying I agree with the thought process behind the trade even though it didn't work. I'm willing to give Nylander 1/2 of next season to show something. He's not completely useless when not scoring, unlike Strome.

Boqvist and Mitchell>>Jokiharju. Maatta>Jokiharju de Haan>>>Jokiharju Where's he gonna play? The Hawks were much deeper with defensive prospects than forward prospects. They traded Jokiharju and they're still super deep in defensive prospects. Jokiharju would be in Rockford had they not traded him. The Hawks not only don't need Jokiharju, they don't even have a spot for him. Did you hear what Zawaski said from his Hawks source about Jokiharju when they traded him? They think he's maxed out as a player and isn't going to get any better. Wheeler said the same thing. You make that gamble 10/10 times. Has it worked out to this point? No, but the Hawks definitely don't miss Jokiharju all that much. Has Nylander been inconsistent as hell and bad more often than not? Yeah. I'd rather have him here than Jokiharju sitting in Rockford waiting to get plucked by Seattle.
