  1. It's not frustrating when you realize that we will be bad for '14-'15 and that in '16 the young everyday players all of us can't wait to see will be here. What I hope Theo and Jed acquire young pitching back in return and not simply filler. Why would you write them off as being bad in 2015? At that point Baez, Bryant, Alcantara, Pierce, Edwards, Soler etc should be either MLB or very close to ready at their current pace.
  2. A guy who hasn't exceeded 1.5fWAR since 2010 and is basically a DH only at this point due to constant injury. I'd love to hear how his agent justifies those demands.
  3. Most teams that finish 16 games under .500 with the oldest roster in baseball don't attempt to get older in the offseason Well at least one person got the point I was trying to make.
  4. Thus far the Phillies are well on the way to doing the impossible and fielding an even older squad then last year. Well done Amaro.
  5. In a market where Lincecum gets 2/34 and guys like Ubaldo are rumored to get 5/85 how is Jackson at 3/33 a bad value?
  6. By this date last year, we had signed Baker and Navarro (plus Alberto Cabrera, JC Boscan and Brian Bogusevic, all of whom at least appeared in the big leagues last year). But in 2011, the first notable move was signing DeJesus on Nov. 30. I don't even necessarily mean us, but at least the substantial mumblings of two teams talking. Thus far the Dominic Brown for Bautista rumor was about the only big one and that was shot down a couple hours after it happened.
  7. I'm really surprised by the absolute lack of rumors right now. I thought the GM meetings would spark a lot of interesting things, but this has been pretty boring.
  8. Yet another flag on Bowman, that's at least 4 now if not 5.
  9. Aww, on a dry field Jeffrey takes that to the house.
  10. False start number 2 on Bennett. What a disaster.
  11. Trestman what the [expletive] are you doing? Throw the ball.
  12. These special teams absolutely suck. Every return there is a flag. What is that Bowman's 3 or 4th penalty now?
  13. ...nice play calling. Run it up the gut over and over. Just because it's windy doesn't mean you can't throw the ball at all.
  14. So who are we getting as our Def coordinator next year? There is no way in hell that Tucker can possibly be brought back.
  15. This penalty [expletive] is getting real old.
  16. Apparently touching the qb whatsoever when they slide is now unnecessary roughness.
  17. What an absolutely depressing sports week. Illini lose Cliff Alexander and Snider, Blackhawks get blown out and the Bears come out and completely [expletive] the sheets.
  18. Personally I feel like Soler is well behind the other 3 and I even favor CJ over him. If you could move him for someone in the Zimmer/Sanchez/Syndergaard level of pitching then I'm game.
  19. Bautista has been quickly falling apart. They should be thrilled they can land a player like Brown let alone whatever else would be included.
  20. To not even have him as a top 100 is bordering on irrational hatred. He must believe that it's pretty much a guarantee CJ is a reliever and even then probably a marginal one.
  21. Likely with the Cardinals, parting with Andrus or Profar. Yeah, Miller for Profar makes almost too much sense not to happen.
