    That's an awful lot of money to make a guy go away, especially from a team without a ton of talent. Where the [expletive] did Heyman get $189 million from? He's owed $21 million, and his contract was only $66 million. WTF? 189 isn't even possible to typo with any of the numbers left from Bay's contract. EDIT: Weird mistake I guess... He meant 18.9M. If you total his 16M in '13 and 3M in '14 that makes sense.

    Masterson anyone? Rather have Choo.

    Ryu-Hyun and Melky are the two FA signings I absolutely want above any others. They both have the potential to become part of the foundation with Rizzo/Castro and it can be accomplished relatively cheaply.
  4. Tryptamine
    I don't ask for much, but if it's any of Pleasac,Kaplan,Hollandsworth or Stone, I'm going to have a real hard time watching games this year.

    The problem with Crisp is that he's not a long term piece and he's not a piece that's likely to bring back any kind of real return if he plays well. In that way, he's not really any different than Dejesus, just a placeholder with no real purpose.
  6. Tryptamine
    What lack of professionalism are you talking about? We still don't even know what happened.
  7. Tryptamine
    One thing has to happen for sure after today. Theo needs to gather every single person in the organization and tell them all to stfu until he gives them the OK to talk about any possible trades.
  8. Tryptamine
    What if this is about Haren's stark loss of velocity this past season? You'd be crying more foul if Haren proved to be damaged goods next April (Not that Marmol is anything but damaged goods at this point) If Theo came out and said we didn't like the medicals, I'd have his back 100%. I'd just like to know the reason.
  9. Tryptamine
    I know it will never happen, but I'd really love an explanation from Theo on what went down here. Between this and the Demp trade there have simply been too many hiccups, whether they were Theo/Jed's fault or not.
  10. Tryptamine
    Absolutely fantastic move. They move out Marmol and bring in a guy who could net them a really nice return at the trade deadline.

    The Epstein Era: Love it or leave it! No one is saying you can't criticize things, but when you [expletive] all over every single thing he does it gets old.
  12. Tryptamine
    As was mentioned on PSD, I'd love to get a package of Haren and Bourjos.
  13. Tryptamine
    It would be more realistic if we looked at No.1 rated farm systems for teams that actually have money to spend. Looking at teams like KC who suck even after having a loaded farm system is a bit misleading because they don't have the means to supplement it with FA talent.

    So given that the Dodgers have locked in their outfield for the next half a decade, can the Cubs get Puig? They obviously like him as they were in on the bidding and he's completely blocked now. What does it take to land him?
  15. Tryptamine
    We don't really have a 2014 draft thread so I thought I'd post here. The more I read about Rodon the more I feel like he's a must have. His level of talent exceeds anything we've seen in the 2012/2013 draft and he has the making of a guy who could be a franchise changer. Am I wrong in valuing this guy enough to be completely okay with a tank job in order to land him?
  16. Tryptamine
    For Reddick? Absolutely not. For Cespedes, yeah I'd be game.
  17. Tryptamine
    The worst part is that this [expletive] is just going to keep happening when they restock next year with the best hitter in the minors, Oscar Taveras.
  18. Tryptamine
    [expletive] everything. Pixie [expletive] dust every god damn year.
  19. Tryptamine
    Seriously, Daniel "who the [expletive] am I" Descalso goes ape [expletive] in game 5. Some random Cardinal scrub does this every year.
  20. Tryptamine
    Oh you just know this little [expletive] Descalso is going to tie this up.
  21. Tryptamine
    I still think Garza+Vitters for a Package like Olt+Buckel is the way to go. The Rangers don't have any place for Olt to go unless they shift him to 1B where his above average to plus 3B defense is wasted. I just can't see Olt or Andrus being with Texas when the 2013 season starts.
  22. Tryptamine
    15 minute drive to watch a game now; I may actually look at season tickets.
  23. Tryptamine
    He wasn't able to locate anything. I believe he also had 3 wild pitches to go with the 3 BB and HBP.
  24. Tryptamine
    KC pitching coach goes to the mound and the next pitch hits Soler in the back.......
  25. Tryptamine
    Oh good, Olt will have company on the bench.
