I don’t give a s%*# what anyone says…LuBob has always been, and will always be a cool nickname for Luis Robert. It’s fun.
Absolutely.
The La Pantera thing reminds me of Hawk at the end of his days trying to force some nicknames for Abreu. Has the same cringe feel to me.
LuBob flies out like home cookin

I'm not concerned yet, but there's reason to not be sold on him. I'm just not sold. It's still early.
Nobody is sold. He’s in the minor leagues still.

Getz should also go. His off season moves have been really bad. He just brought a bunch of older journeymen. The team is much worse than last year so far.
He knew he brought in old journeymen though.
I think the why is more interesting than the what.

Return on investment? So they can win 61 games instead of 57? It's a trash move by a third rate franchise who keeps shooting themselves in the foot.
Again if they really thought he was worth a "Return on investment", they would have looked to bring him back months ago for more than barely over minimum. He obviously wasn't someone they placed a real premium on after seeing him for an entire year.
What about maybe they did right by him, whatever that deal was, to let him ride out the offseason and see if he could secure a long term deal. He didn’t get what he wanted so he came back?
there could be more nuance to this than you are suggesting

These dudes will never be remembered. Just collecting paychecks.
I fully expect Moncada to have an awesome season if he feels he needs another $100M
-
There’s like 1500 innings that need to be thrown this year. If him and Kopech get over 200 of those I’d call that a major success.
-
This roster is full of dudes ready to ball out and try to win.
So optics wise, if they draft Caleb, you have to consider not only Caleb’s development, shot at OROY etc…but you have to do right by that locker room.
I think there’s a lot to consider about who starts the season as QB1. Do you just hand it to Caleb and take the lumps?
I think at this point it’s Bagent. Caleb would have to outplay him pretty significantly to get the buy in from everybody right? That’s not a given.

Big day for my QB1 Bagent

Eh. What about just making a stand and saying the best 26 guys come north. If Thorpe is in there he’s in there.
Totally merit based for everything.

Hey what part of "hope" didn't you understand buddy
I hope too brother. What are some of your favorite hopes over the years that never did a thing?
Alec Hansen had me thinking we were really building a juggernaut.
Thought Alex Call had a real shot too

Man I forgot about Terrell Tatum, I hope that dude becomes something.
lol who are the last dudes to actually become something for us? Codi Heuer briefly? That one seemed like a nice job at the time

Thorpe gives me Lance Broadway/Kyle McCulloch vibes
There’s gotta be something really special about his command though that those guys never sniffed

Well it sure is a different looking group of players from the disaster core, TLR + Colson thing we had going for years. That group made me quit being a fan of baseball after decades. Maybe these guys will bring me back

I feel like San Diego is just going to flip him at the deadline for Cowser and Mayo

How is one of the top pitchers in the game at a ridiculously low price with extra control not worth top prospects?

That noise you hear is Balta firing up the backhoe to move those goalposts!
Funniest post I’ve maybe ever seen on here. I hope its greatness doesn’t just get lost in a 45000 page thread.

I don’t ever watch baseball anymore so I missed Evan Carter in the playoffs. How did he look in YOUR eyes? Imagine that’s our Texas target
-
How’s Joey Headlines doing this spring? Can we let him loose from his new team with this Cease performance?

Dude has great communication skills, tho.
Just ask him
Look no further than that staged video introduction call to Eloy last year. These guys would die for Pedro
-
Looking at Spencer Jones’ stats and fangraphs’ top 100… seems crazy to me that he’s ranked ahead of our other target Coby Mayo who has destroyed upper level pitching.
Seems like Jones is all hope and projection. He barely played any AA and didn’t dominate A+. Why so vaunted at this stage?

On paper I'm struggling to see 100 home runs out of that entire starting lineup. We had 171 last year. Can we finish dead last this year? Even playing half our games at G-Rate? Maybe I can put some money on it.
In reality you can’t see 100 home runs. On paper potential world though…
10d for 10
Moncada 25
Robert 40
Eloy 40
Vaughn 25
Fletcher 10
Not in a million years but that’s what we should get if life didn’t suck

Snell has never allowed more than 16 homers in a season. Tampa and SD are pitchers parks, but still. Sox should sign him and try to win a weak division instead of trading Cease.
Holy s%*# what the heck is this- a bold idea?

You think Getz is raising the floor of the organization with most of these moves? These aren’t big ceiling plays but depth seems better
