Astros calling up Derek Fisher. Dude was hitting very well in the minors. Want(ed) him in a deal for Q as a third piece.

I would wait a year and a half before extending him. If they can't extend him by next July and he's still hitting this way, trade him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:56 PM) Avi could be hitting .390 on Sept. 1 and some people would be saying, "Wait until the end of the season" before they'd even consider locking him up, thinking an 0-for-40 would get that average back where it belongs. I nees at least a full season but ideally a season and a half about. If he doesn't sign before next year's deadline, deal him.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:56 PM) Did you read that article posted above? Yes and it did nothing to assure me he's a slam dunk to sign.

I could see his heart being in water polo along with building his stock in baseball at college. I'm at 50/50 that he signs.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:16 PM) Can we PLEASE bring back Omar Vizquel to work with Davidson/Delmonico/Tim Anderson? Moncada and Burger as well. God that would be amazing.

I was away from my tv but heard them talking vaguely. Did Stone mention that the Jays have interest in Holland? Not sure how their LFs are doing but Holland and Melky perhaps?

Montes de Oca still there?

Where was he originally expected to go? First round?

Looks like Skoug was projected to go in the first round originally but he started off slow. Really turned his season around though. Great pick.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:51 PM) Based on what has been said about this draft (lack of star talent, decent depth) its not a bad strategy. Agreed. And then hope for a team to ignore Q's first few month and give us a significant piece for 2 back in a deal.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) Thanks. Please forgive me but these picks are pretty much rapid fire with no time in between right? 1 minute in between picks.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:41 AM) Agreed. The fact that both that and Spider-Man are Sony exclusives... I'm still shocked anyone buys an XBOX for a yearly Halo update. Basically all it's good for.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 11:04 AM) I don't think the Nationals will part with Robles or Fedde under pretty much any circumstances, Soto and/or Kieboom, Neuse, Luzardo, Marmolejos, etc. all could be in play if they are serious about getting any deal for impact relief help done. Sucks for them because their farm is far thinner than it was before the Eaton deal. The difference between the overpay of the Cubs and Indians when the Yankees dealt away their 2 prized relievers.

Robertson may end up being the cheapest available but I wouldn't expect significantly more than what was initially agreed upon.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) Apparently neither of you two have negotiated much in your life. It's not like they have to negotiate with one team. They have/will have other options. Herrera will be available, Colome may be available, Hand is available, and anyone else who is available we don't know about along with anyone else who will be available. They can trade for the lower priced reliever(s) and still improve their BP. It's not Robertson or bust. They can move on to another team if they don't like the price on Robertson.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) If you guys think other GMs aren't seeing this s*** and licking their chops, you are nuts. It is NOT a good look when your manager continues to beg the GM through the press to find him some bullpen help. I concede they can win this division even without a bullpen, but you're nuts if you think this isn't raising the price they will pay. And it isn't like they only need one arm...they need 3-4 arms. Rizzo has some work to do. Eh, probably be more guys available the longer they wait.

What time does it start?

I agree with DA. They'll make a move before it's too late but with the division they play in and the current lead they have, the Nats have time to wait a little longer before they start making moves. As long as they add BP guys before the deadline and post-season, that's all that really matters.

Currently 6th.

Days Gone looks sick af. Man I love Sony and their exclusives.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:21 AM) Man you guys are acting like Austin Beck was available and we passed on him for Burger. There was no easy answer at 11. I'm fine with the pick. The 5-6 main guys I wanted were all picked right before. Nothing you can do about that.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 05:41 AM) We have Davidson who looks like he can be here for several years so where does this guy fit in? Courtney Hawkins and now Burger.. Burger is never going to play third base in the majors at that weight especially with his lack of balance and mobility. He looked like his shoelaces were tied together on those ground balls. A wasted 1st round pick. Burger probably won't be ready for 2+ years. I have no problem with Davidson holding down the fort until them but not penciling him in as an important part of the future (although maybe he can be a bench corner bat and platoon with whoever is at 1B or DH).
