Maybe a reliever isnt a bad idea

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 09:51 PM) If I were him, I'd rather go to Houston. Better future and frankly better present For sure. No idea what his issue is with Houston.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 09:49 PM) No Gallo? For shame, Amero. He just cleared out the top of the Rangers farm system. Yeah what a shame.

For anybody wondering Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 49s50 seconds ago Preseason Baseball America rankings: RHP Jake Thompson No. 2 #Rangers prospect, C Jorge Alfaro No. 3, OF Nick Williams No. 5. All to PHI. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal

That's gotta sting for the Astros

That's a decent package for the Phillies. Lot of potential Alfaro and Williams.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) My argument? Ok, hitting-wise, he's extremely inconsistent and he basically sucks. But, defense at the catcher's position is very important. And while he is a "replacement level" defensive catcher, he is better at throwing runners out (stealing) than Soto, and he is one of the best pitch framers in all of baseball. If framing were a part of WAR, he'd be a positive WAR player. So, yes, he's not a good player, but he doesn't suck. His defense is in the negative and he ranks 39th out of all catchers via WAR. Soto is much higher.

I almost forgot we didnt do anything at the deadline last year. Dunn and Gordon trades were in August.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) I've been defending Flowers. I agree that Soto deserves more starts but I've definitely been defending Flowers when people go on about how much he sucks. Well he does suck. Facts may get in the way of that but the truth hurts sometimes.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:49 PM) Silent, after that "walk" on 3 balls followed by an RBI single I wasnt even near my computer for a while buddy. Where were you the past 2 weeks?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Where are all the Flowers haters? Right here. Where do you think I went?

Actually it looks like the Rangers are close to getting Hamels

I really dont want to ship Alexei out now

I dont think getting a RH reliever is a bad idea. More bullpen help is never bad. But a bat would be nice ontop of it.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) So Kenny and Rick have GOT to be working the hell out of the phones right now, yes? I mean is there even a question as to what our course of action is at this point? Tyler trying to get someone beaned now. Yeah I have no doubt at the very least Kenny is working the phones

Tyson Ross and Justin Upton got pulled from the Padres game

I was watching Sports Talk on CSN. The guy they talked to from MLBN said he could see us buying and get a .....RH Reliever

Ok that pretty much sucked for the Brewers

Pompey is raking in the minors right now(Jays prospect)

Looked out to me

Garcia is really the only disgrace right now we have in the lineup

5-0

Let's go Adam

Melky is automatic
