SOLER 4 EVER

nope almost but not quite SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP

that's why i said "assuming." if they don't have better options then it's stupid, but if Law projects them to be better, it's a perfectly cromulent opinion. Klaw is a dork.

The best of David's sig is already here and his smile is beautiful and normal-sized.

I interpreted it as "I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt." Somethingsomething cut out his tongue and use it to paint my boat.

Right now they don't know if they have better options at 3B, SS or 2B.

Starlin Castro will always be more valuable than Javier Baez. ENGRAVE IT IN STONE WITH A LASER.

It must not be obvious to the posters who post every quote from the FO and then discuss how brilliant the FO is for saying that. Please link to one of those discussions.

Castillo had a higher WAR the last 2 seasons and having Wieters in 2012 would have cost us Kris Bryant http://i.imgur.com/cuvuO.gif

Why?

Something like 4 years/$15 million a year is like the max I'd want to do.

I like the Jersey style of overkill when it comes to posting gifs.

One the one hand, what TT says is sound and logical. On the other hand...ENOUGH OF YOUR BORAX, POINDEXTER. If they know they can afford Martin and still spend elsewhere I'd be pretty excited with them signing him.

There's no question mark around Lake's bat. It's just bad and that's not going to change. Yeah, I had no idea there was still anyone wondering what Junior Lake could do besides being terrible at baseball.

So go to BR instead and get your eyes checked out.

Hamels' injury and abuse history have been vastly overstated by people here; he's talked about like he's on the verge of shattering into pieces because of this last season. Look, a Baez for Hamels deal isn't likely at all, but given the right tweaking I could be sold on a deal that involved those two things happening.

I really hope Epstein and co. aren't too in love with their prospects like a bunch of guys on a message board if the right deal can be made. None of these guys should be untouchable.

And trading him for Hamels (which still makes zero sense to me) is hardly the only suggestion we've seen that involves getting rid of Baez. My puzzlement is more with the overall negativity towards him than with a specific deal in mind. It's amazing to me that Baez struggled just like we all knew he would. We had how many discussions on this very board talking about how he would struggle at first and most agreed that it was good he could start in 2013 to start getting adjusted in a season that didn't matter.Yet here we are after he did what was expected and people are ready to throw him into any package. It just doesn't make sense. Not any package; my still preferred avenue is using him the main part of a deal to land Stanton. I highly doubt he'd be moved for Hamels, but if it did happen I could be talked into it being a good move. And I've said several times how I was expecting him to have shown at least some kind of significant improvement by then end of the year; he didn't. Yeah, the learning curve is going to be tougher at the highest level, but he was REALLY bad. I highly doubt anyone here was assuming he'd have been as horrendous as he was with little signs of improvement at the end of the season. Given the flaws in his game and given that they have Russell and Bryant waiting in the wings I wouldn't lose much sleep if they still sold high on him and got a great return.
