I would point and laugh and I hope the other people at the poker table would beat him up and take his money. But not the watch. http://mlb.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pMLB2-20246229reg.jpg
Couldn't even get his full name in the damn pic. Jerk. http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/8400000/George-Jetson-and-Astro-the-jetsons-8444453-400-300.gif
so I went from non-plussed when i heard about the signing to modestly happy with the moves now that the Castro trade seems to have brought back a decent enough arm. Still a little concerned with how much older this team is getting with these moves, but if they can pull off a Heyward signing this offseason would be amazing. Obviously they have the money, the question is if they are willing to spend it.
I like the move, but it's not a salary dump when you add $56 million. Huh? Are you referring to this sentence? You really can't make these moves without one another so it'd be really disingenous to call it "adding $56 million" when one doesn't happen without the other (which is 100% the case). And it's not hard to see how it clears a little salary for them when you consider what a bargain Warren is and what acquiring him allows them to do (and not to do). That's not even to get into the likely (much) better value you're getting out of the Zobrist money than they were the Castro money. Between these two deals, they're getting more production for less money. Saying "dumping $38 million" is far more disingenuous than pointing out that they added $56 million. Castro had value. He was traded for value. Nothing was dumped.
Same here. Like, I mean, the kid is devastated. He's worn #13 and played SS ever since he started playing T-ball 5 years ago, and he's got Castro cards and posters all over his room, and he met Castro last year during ST. Ouch.
Who cares about 7 year averaged for 35 year olds. He was very good in his prime. He's not in his prime anymore. You don't think he's better than Castro for the next 2 years by a considerable margin?(1-2 WAR per year) wtf does that have to do with the statements you quoted?
