    It'd be nice if Ransom could be packaged with someone like Gregg to a better prospect.

    beginning stages of seeing rumors? have you been away from the internet? http://www.glamour.com/beauty/blogs/girls-in-the-beauty-department/beyonce-crying-mascara.jpg

    At the beginning stages of seeing rumors of who might come back, so it's good that the whining has already started.
  4. ScrubMD
    I really doubt the talks would be this far along if they weren't even willing to give up one decent prospect.

    Rangers fans on twitter seem to be mixing up Garza and Joe Blanton. Every name mentioned in a trade for Garza is crazy talk!

    I hope we get Odor just so I can pretend his name is Hodor and giggle everytime I read about him.
  7. ScrubMD
    I hear he's going to the Dodgers for Cesar Izturis.
  8. ScrubMD
    Not that I'm ever right about this kind of stuff, but I just don't really like any of the Rangers' pitchers and I wouldn't want Olt as more than a throw-in. I'm hoping somebody else swoops in.

    The only way I see that being true is if they think they just won't be able to get the package they want.

    He could also take a few hundred thousand dollars and start his pro career now. It's not as awesome as $800k, but I don't think he'll need to go on suicide watch.

    I traded for Phil Hughes on my 2008 video game and he has gone on to be a 3 time Cy Young winner. It's now 2021 and he's still an ace. Lets go for it.

    Instead of starting a new thread: When is Arodys due back? Did he have a shot at getting some rehab starts this year or is he pretty much shut down till next year?

    This "he could be a guy" thing must be stopped before it takes hold.

    IFA money was never on the table, as far as we know.

    So I tell my girlfriend this and mention that he's 19 yrs old. She's a nurse and immediately responds, sort of sheepishly, "So is he, um, you know?". I told her I have no idea if a Cubs outfield prospect is gay, but I was thoroughly amused that that was the immediate medical thought that came to her mind. Gay guys usually have better style than that stupid thing he has on his chin.

    So Almora's issue yesterday was hemorrhoids.
  17. ScrubMD
    Nice.
  18. ScrubMD
    To go along with his double.

    I'm not sure how to put an exact dollar figure on it, but if Theo and Co. figure the guys they are targeting are of higher value than they guys they traded I don't think it matters what the dollar figure is. It's kind of like a futures market. I think it's a really low risk proposition if (and that's a big if) you are confident in your talent evaluation skill. The thing that concerns me is the stiff penalty for next year, but I guess if they plan on using the money for trades next year it makes sense. Perhaps they can get "a guy" next year who is going to help the big club. The other thing to consider is that it may create an alternating year spend/trade cycle that may come back to bite them at some point. But if their plan is to go over their limit, then it is just a strict dollar figure that he was traded for.

    I guess it all boils down to what Brett said. Is Torreyes worth $800k or not? I think so. But I'm dumb and I really have no idea why I think that. Who is the respectable bench player? Clevenger? Or did I miss another trade? I was referring to Clevenger, which now that I look at his major league stats, I guess that's very debatable. Yeah, I'd say so. I guess some of his AAA performance slipped into my thinking on his major league performance. But with Torreyes, I think he's easily worth more than $800k if it's just the money. With his age/peripherals, he seems to have a pretty high floor and it seems a very good bet that his major league production will end up being worth much more than $800k. If they are wanting to stay within their spending limit and it was Torreyes vs. one of their top International targets, I can give the FO the benefit of the doubt on that one.

    I would otherwise be fine with the theory of them blowing past their spending limit, but that would mean they traded a legitimate prospect (who is 20 years old and performing adequately in AA) plus a respectable bench player, just to save some money on penalties. That would be extremely stupid, in my opinion.
  23. ScrubMD
    The original report said "agreed", the agent denied he "signed".....HEY WAIT A SECOND!!
  24. ScrubMD
    I could be down with that plan if he hadn't already given up Torreyes and Clevenger.
  25. ScrubMD
    That would put them severely over which makes no sense. Why add bonus pool money then go over? Brett Taylor is speculating that some of the signings may not be official and they can still add pool money. If not, and they traded for pool money yesterday just to blow it up today, I will have lost all faith in our FO.
