    I always love what the Blue Jays do in the draft.
  2. Tryptamine
    Now if the Yankees will just take Fabian off the board too.
  3. Tryptamine
    Mets get gifted Rocker. It must be nice.
  4. Tryptamine
    I don't think there is one even slightly realistic scenario that would make me excited about the up and coming season.
  5. Tryptamine
    I'm praying they don't give up any good prospects to try and fix this dumpster fire
  6. Tryptamine
    I'm ok with anything where I have one less reason to go downtown, even if traffic is going to be a nightmare.
  7. Tryptamine
    I'm more concerned with CB at the moment.

    Imagine a sport making their #2 player in the world have to choose to take an extended break from the sport rather than just give them a brief reprieve from doing interviews and letting them continue to play. Nicely done WTA. Even worse is the sports writers with a vested interest supporting the WTA's approach.

    Orioles have now lost 14 in a row, two thirds of the way to the MLB record of 26.
  10. Tryptamine
    The Orioles have managed to reach special levels of awful after a hot start. They've now lost 18 of their last 20 games.

    What does it take to Land Means from Baltimore? He has lots of years of control and the peripherals are good. Could it get done without Brennen Davis or Ed Howard?
  12. Tryptamine
    We can hope he continues his torrid pace, driving up value. I have no idea what a return would look like but with a hard 7/31 trade deadline (ie no more 8/31 non waiver), this could speed up the process as well as the return. If the Cubs keep him for the remainder of the season and lose him, not sure how valuable the comp pick is vs the return they get in a trade. Sadly I wouldn't expect much of a haul now that it's only going to be half a season. Maybe a Many Machado type return. A guy in the bottom third of the top 100, a lottery ticket, an upside guy with injury history and a relief prospect. I'd guess something like a Matt Allen led package if it was the Mets. Francisco Alvarez and Ronny Mauricio would definitely not be on the table.

    With the turnover on the OL, I'd want to see them prove that the QB wont get killed before I put the hope of my franchise out there. Especially since most write ups said Fields holds the ball for longer than most.
  14. Tryptamine
    It looks like the only realistic way they open up enough money to pick up a quality CB is if they extend Robinson. I'd think he'd be more open to that with the addition of Fields and a few young linemen. How different things would be if they had kept Fuller and not signed Dalton with that money.
  15. Tryptamine
    On the bright side, Bryant and Kimbrel are doing everything in their power to increase their trade values and speed up the inevitable rebuild.
  16. Tryptamine
    Amazing they get Jones without a trade.
  17. Tryptamine
    Shut out 5 times in 24 games, while 44 of their 99 runsscored have happened in 3 games.
  18. Tryptamine
    I still think he has mid rotation upside or at the very least a good long man out of the pen.
  19. Tryptamine
    Through 16 games the Cubs now have 93 hits which is the 2nd lowest in the league ahead of only the Mets who have 89 hits in 4 fewer games. The team immediately ahead of the Cubs is the Yankees who have also played 16 games but have 108 hits. Leading the league is the Red Sox who have 174 hits through 18 games.
  20. Tryptamine
    A lot of bat first catchers, with the physical tools to stick behind the plate, but enough offensive potential to still be valuable even if they have to move to a corner.
  21. Tryptamine
    Trainer gives them supplements, they pop them immediately no questions asked and go about their day, acting surprised later on when they get popped for PEDs. A lifesaving vaccine appears and suddenly they need to be thoroughly educated before they can make an informed decision.
  22. Tryptamine
    They hit Contreras 7 times in the last 13 games, but according to Brewer fans he's a jerk and cry baby for the way he acted after the HR. Intentional or not, if one team is drilling me over and over, including one in the head, I'm not handling it near that well.
  23. Tryptamine
    This team is starting to look special kinds of bad
  24. Tryptamine
    Remember when there were aspects of this team that were likeable?
  25. Tryptamine
    Setting the over/under at 75 wins. If they were in a division that wasn't awful, I'd probably have them at 72.
