said early on I wanted to stand pat in the field and add starting pitching. looks like i'll be half right.

He might turn out being a good sign. Rockies pitchers can be hard to judge.

just heard the news. glad for marcus. glad we wont be paying 25 mil for him the second half of that contract.

What's the beef with Schilling? I know he's a knuckle head, but aren't most athletes? I never heard any thing about PED's.

Hoping there are $1million buyouts on years 2-3. Nothing personal, but 1 year doesn't make this guy a sure thing.

Nailed it. Love the guy, but the cost is too high. Whoever ponies up will get a really good player and team mate. They'll probably regret the last couple of years on his contract as well.

I can understand why. If Romy fails, you plug in Taylor. If Yoan gets hurt, you plug in Taylor. If any one else needs a day or two off, you plug in Taylor. Conforto is a one position guy, basically.

Kind of hope we stand pat on the offensive side except at catcher. I have a feeling that our holes can be handled internally in the field and on offense. We need a starting pitcher and another reliever. Romy Gonzalez could be a real sleeper. That Taylor guy on the Dodgers would be a huge upgrade from Leury. Yan Gomes would be a huge upgrade at back up catcher. We have an excellent core, and just need supporting pieces.

You're a funny guy! Do I amuse you?

Is Stroman destined to be the next Jose Quintana?

Our largest contract ever sounds like a big deal. But JR throws nickels around like manhole covers.

I might have taken the Qo if I were Conforto. Winning a Home Run contest is one thing. Getting hurt and having a lousy year is something else altogether.

Yes there is. Its called asset allocation.

Drinking on a Sunday morning is bad for your health.

Let me get this straight. We're thinking of spending 16 million for Kimbrall, and thinking about not offering Rodon 18.4 million. If it happens this way, every one in the FO should be fired.

I don't know. He was terrible for over 2 years, and we were certainly swayed by a fluke 32 innings.

So nobody watched him pitch in August or September?

hope the roller derby girls win. They should've gone with the Spiders in the first place.

Already have players like NC. Get a guy who plays defense and gets on base a lot. Its better to have players with different skill sets.

Finally! Minoso is probably the best eligible player not in the hall. Hopefully he'll get in soon.

I'd rather sign Yan Gomes than anyone else. We're thin at catcher. Between Vaughn, Eloy, Burger, Sheets and Engel We can get by on the corners. Of course if Robert gets hurt again, it could get ugly real quick.

Bad news travels fast.

Is Bob Nightingale a heavy drinker?

One guy who kind of escaped being blasted was Kopech. He really didn't pitch well for the last 3 months. He is the key to next years team.

good post. apology and forgiving are rare lately
