    I am not reading the whole thread bc I'm lazy but I would be in favor of bringing back Chavez and Wilson. Duensing and Kintzler and Chatwood need to be jettisoned into the sun. I liked what Mills brought and wouldn't be opposed to him being a pen option. Russell needs to go. If the Jays were able to trade Osuna, I guess we could find a taker. I can't even begin to guess on which team would be willing, though. Go get both Harper and Machado. Screw the LT.

    I've been wondering if they'd do this. Quite a journey he's had. Once a top 50 prospect, traded to the Red Sox as part of that insane Crawford/Gonzalez/Beckett deal. Fell apart, pitched in Korea, now pitching mostly out of relief, he's regularly in the mid-90s.

    Some housekeeping: Jaime Garcia added to the 40 man, Zagunis put on 60 day DL to make room. The Angels claimed Luke Farrell off waivers. We DFA'd Mazzoni and Zastryszny but they cleared waivers and were kept in the organization.

    He's been ass this year but has been good in the past and it can't hurt to have another lefty who isn't Brian Duensing/Randy Rosario.

    It's crazy to me that Cutch is still just 31. Also before this, the Yanks were giving outfield innings to Shane Robinson and Neil Walker so I guess this counts as an upgrade.

    it's not exactly being ignored What's this about Daniel Murphy and ignorance?

    Also I'd much rather have Bote get regular at bats than have this bigot in the lineup.

    Not sure what sucks more, Monty to the DL or Chatwood taking his start. I'd rather have Underwood or Mills get a spot 3 inning start. And Rosario has been ass recently. Would rather see someone else get the call up but our depth is dwindling. I almost expect another trade before the August 31 deadline.

    Including the playoffs, he's 0-for-11 with 16 runs scored and 25 stolen bases. Maybe he gets a couple at bats in September but that doesn't really matter. Having a speedy threat on the bases will be a nice luxury in the playoffs.

    Can we name the MVP award after him?
  13. Post Count Padder
    Maples has struck out 27 batters in his last 11 innings. :shock:

    Odd trade. They get a good bench bat but give up an interesting young arm. Bour has nowhere to play really. Santana at first, Franco at 3rd, Hoskins and Nick Williams on the corners. Certainly gives them good insurance/offense off the bench though. They also DFA'd Jake Thompson and I wouldn't mind grabbing him. Was a really good prospect fairly recently.
  15. Post Count Padder
    ok? Does this mean we're done with Brian Duensing until Sept/forever?
  16. Post Count Padder
    Remember how we got Leal for Tony Campana? Classic. Now that's he's back from injury, how does he look as a prospect? I know he hasn't hit AA yet but his numbers are rock solid.

    Doesn't mean he's racist, but it certainly doesn't sound great. Hopefully, we don't discover some embarrassing awful thing he said on twitter... I don't really see this as being racist. He was talking about his transition from Oklahoma to Arizona. He’s been playing on elite travel teams since he was 13-14, so by his senior year of HS he is probably used to feeling like one of the older/more mature members of his team. Now after being drafted and playing with even more experienced players he’s back toward the bottom of the ladder. Also his community growing up was about 80% white vs 6% Latin American, so I could definitely see moving into a clubhouse that’s probably closer to 60-70% Latin as being a bit of a cultural shock. Yeah that's how I read it too. Unless there's more quotes not included, I think it's fine/whatever. If he's been tweeting racist horsefeathers then we have a problem.

    The Nationals just DFAd Shawn Kelley for throwing his glove after giving up a home run. What a joke.

    Glasnow and Meadows going to Tampa
  20. Post Count Padder
    And Gausman to the Braves. Did not think it would be this crazy going down to the wire.
  21. Post Count Padder
    I like it, depending on the prospect. He's not flashy or exiting but gets results. The fact that he gets groundballs and soft contact really helps with our defense. Also nice that he has a low walk rate, considdering some of our other pitchers.....
  22. Post Count Padder
    Remember when people wanted Wisler? In other news, the Yanks traded Tyler Austin for Lance Lynn and the Red Sox got Ian Kinsler.
  23. Post Count Padder
    Cool, frees us up to get Brad Ziegler.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Lol the Cardinals are releasing Greg Holland.
  25. Post Count Padder
    That's a pretty fair deal. Butler is whatever and one of Rob Z/Underwood/Mills could replace his production (heck Farrell and Bass were doing just that while he was on the DL). Lacy is having a nice year but we have other pitchers similar to him so he's not a big loss. I'd still like to add another reliever but I'm pleased with this and the Chavez trade. Sneaky good moves without giving up much.
