FO and the owners just hoping for a dead cat bounce season or two before Theo rides off to be welcomed as a hero somewhere else, then they'll settle into a long, long, long stretch of ye olde "suck for years until you stumble across a collection of cheap young players and then maybe flirt with contention enough for a few seasons before it all starts over again and again and again"

Slappy McContact needs to go. He horsefeathering sucks

 

We could have had Adam Jones for nothing. He might suck and can't even be a CF anymore for all I know, though.

He sucks, but he’s probably an upgrade. So is Happ internally, Pollock, Cameron Maybin, Austin Jackson, Curtis Granderson, Carlos Gomez as FA or some OF that could’ve been traded for. It’s not a high bar to exceed to find value over Almora.

 

He has a 31 wRC+ this year, 46 going back to last July, 69 back to last June and 81 going back to last May (when he was supposedly good). He horsefeathering sucks, there’s nothing in the batted ball data to show he’s been unlucky or anything (the numbers are mostly deserved) he has no history of hitting for a high BA, power or walking, he’s a shitty baserunner (outside of Game 7) and he’s not even that great on defense as he’s a few steps slow on everything so he makes diving and running catches. Yet the FO and manager treat him like he’s team controlled, under 30, 2016 Dexter when he should be treated like Szczur was (a mostly useless and expendable player).

Our best CF is in Iowa

Our best CF is in Philadelphia for the next 10 years. I will never get over it just as I never got over Beltran. Harper is much worse though.
