    Then again, I voted for Brett at 6, so maybe I'm biased too.
  2. davell
    Its showing.

    Who knows? If they're big bonus types, they'll want to be on the 40 man to begin with. That said(we've got the cash anyway), we could conceivably give out a gigantic, one time payment, I suppose and keep them off of it. At their ages though, if they're going to get big money, they ought to be fairly close to being MLB ready as it is.

    So is Domonic Brown poo or not?

    I'm already preparing myself for Diaz to be a Dodger. If he's a damn good SS prospect, the idea of having Castro in front of him probably isn't all that appealing. My hope is he'll be a fringe SS and amiable to a position change. Alvarez, on the other hand, appears at first glance to be an easier target for us.

    Both have now established residency in Mexico, be FA very soon.

    Time to start number 7?
  8. davell
    No clue about the guy, but hard not to like the innovativeness. Maybe he's a good BP arm for us next year.

    Campana is expendable, since we've got Bogusevic and would have all spring to add him to the 40 man.
  10. davell
    That's OK, much better if it expands to include a young SP.

    I don't think that at all. Shark may not even be peaking. If his June had been normal(not experimenting) and he had pitched in September, I think he would have been a 5 WAR guy. He may get better the more he pitches too. Personally, I think he'd bring as much or more of a return than Shields got. He's just scratching the surface, in my mind.

    Dodgers just got Schumaker from the Cards, for some odd reason.

    I'm impatient as [expletive], even as I approve of the rebuild, when I see moves like this. My hope is they've got charts, needs, all that stuff, and know that by being patient, they'll make a trade rape or two, late in the offseason. But they've kind of insinuated they didn't have many matches with teams back a little while ago, so I'm not exactly confident.

    As far as 2B goes, contenders(or those that at least appear to think they are) KC and Baltimore are in need. Kelly Johnson, Ryan Theriot, and Ronny Cedeno are FA. For SS, Detroit, Oakland, Seattle, Pittsburgh, and San Diego have needs. Theriot, Cedeno, and Drew are available in FA, with Hardy, Peralta, and Dee Gordon being involved in trade rumors on some level. Got to think Darwin Barney is fairly sought after with this being the landscape.

    The last few days kind of make it feel like baseball GMs have an insulated little world that has a completely different set of prospect rankings than the rest of us. Thats true, I doubt they look at BA and stop there. But still.......This is a pitiful return on a guy quite a few still look at as a guy with ace potential. Bauer must have gotten Towers wife pregnant.
  16. davell
    Kevin Towers just triple stamped Dayton Moore's double stamp.
  17. davell
    They're trading Bauer for Gregorius, Tony [expletive] Sipp and Lars Anderson. Congrats, Dayton Moore isn't even moron of the week!
  18. davell
    The Diamondbacks better be getting much more than Gregorius out of this.
  19. davell
    I just threw up. Bauer is in this [expletive].
  20. davell
    I would definitely trade Barney for Corbin straight up. Bauer's a no-brainer obviously. That said, who knows how Towers looks at Barney? He may just like Gregorius more. No clue how or why, but I guess its a possibility. Our focus is young SP, can't imagine we've not been in contact with Arizona.
  21. davell
    Yeah, no kidding. If Gregorius is the lead piece to land Trevor Bauer, I'll be pissed as hell.
  22. davell
    Surprised to see the Cubs offering to pay only $10 million of the $36 million owed to Soriano, if this report is true. I thought we'd be offering to pay a heck of lot more than that. I think it's the opposite: They'd pay all BUT 10 mill.
  23. davell
    If Choo is dealt for Stubbs and Gregorius, I'll throw up a bit. What an awful return.
  24. davell
    Kevin Correia just got 2/10 from the Twins. At least our stopgaps are both better and on one year deals.
  25. davell
    Grilli back to Pirates, 2 year deal. Had hope the longer it drug out, he'd leave.
