lmao not being willing to include anyone good does not sound like a "big try" to me. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/24608532/yankees-made-big-try-for-samardzija-finish-second
lol that clears up nothing Here I thought they were grooming Alcantara to be a Zobrist type... they're doing that for everyone. http://i.imgur.com/HuLuD.gif ahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahaha
Very good points. Like I said before, I'm probably being too hard on McKinney and maybe I'm a bit gunshy about lower level prospects after seeing so many burn out. A lot of his numbers dropping a lot in high A (granted, with some getting better) doesn't help either. Who the hell cares about McKinney? Would you have traded hammel and samardzija for Baez? Because Russell is that level of a prospect.
If springer/correa would have done Stanton last year, Russell/alcantara should be enough a year later, even though that dumbo GM will ask for Bryant and baez
When this first broke, there were rumors of a third team. Any chance Russell was headed to another team for minor league pitching, but that team pulled out and the Cubs said "[expletive] it we'll take russell"
good god damn, this is amazing. Do people realize what an insane talent addison russell is? This is like trading for another javy or kris bryant. Unfathomable.
someone compared kris bryant and joey gallo to troy glaus and i was like man, [expletive] that then i looked http://i.imgur.com/lN0ubSm.png steroids own
I saw him Sunday. Granted, it was 98 and muggy and miserable, but even though he topped out at 98, he couldn't throw a breaking pitch for a strike and people were sitting on that fastball and beating the [expletive] out of it.
