I really do hope we sign him. Who are other teams that might be aggressive? Adding Maddon and Martin would be an A+ start to FA and would multiply our sexy by about thirty. What FA pitcher wouldn't want to sign up?

He's gonna have a real hard time if he can't hit a fastball yeah, that's gonna be his problem. Apparently there's something magical about this guys fastball I guess Apparently, I ain't never been no scout before, but apparently when you're a good fastball hitter that apparently means you have to hit every fastball.

So are we sticking with "Javy" or switching to his spelling, "Javi"? I feel like this needs to be settled.

I think when they're all up and everything clicks (fingers crossed) they'll realize they are all a part of something extremely special and are trying to do something which hasn't been done in over a century, and they'll love every [expletive] minute of it. I think because of this they'll be open to signing long term deals. They'll all be comning up through the same system together striving to win the World Series. How many World Series teams have had an abundance of players on their roster that came up through the ranks at the same time to reach the highest stage? If that happens, that would have to feel pretty [expletive] awesome for them, and I think they won't want to play anywhere else, at least not for a long time. But that's just my own daydream speculation. I don't know about all this kumbaya 'win it for friendship and loyalty' BS, but having a completely renovated clubhouse will go a long ways in getting these guys to stick around.

Spanning the past 3 drafts, we've added this many 1st and 2nd round picks: 1st Almora Johnson* Blackburn* Russell Bryant McKinney Schwarber 2nd Underwood Zastryzny Caratini Stinnett Am I missing anyone?

I feel like Javy's Futures Game HR deserves some love.

lol JD said something like, "that foul ball was caught by a man who bench presses refrigerators in his spare time"

lol

I think it'd be really fun to watch Javy Baez take 3 hacks against Aroldis Chapman.

I believe it has to do with his diabetes. Ahhhhh

So wait, a doctor told Dimitri Young to "get off the needle" as part of his new healthy lifestyle? Did I read that correctly?

Didnt Russell start out something like 4 hits in his first 30 ABs with us?

Imagine if we moved Alcantara, Baez, Bryant, Soler, Russell, Almora, and Schwarber down for the playoffs ;) Yeah and Rizzo and Arrieta too!

I was really just going with guys in our system. I realize its not going to happen, but its more fun putting him there as a 5th OF than just writing "random FA sign or trade"... I basically put a whole lot of extra filler in there when my point was essentially that I hope everything breaks well enough that Contra and Schwarbs can be super utility guys for a couple seasons. And poor choice of word of "floor" on my part, guess I meant "my twisted idea of their floor", which I would qualify as 'Major League average for at least 2 seasons'.
