making a trade makes more sense if you're fighting for a spot. if you're stronger and in a solidified position, it makes less sense. sure so trade away baez schwarber mckinney almora torres and bunch for cueto and chapman and regret it for ten years Your idea to trade Bryant, Rizzo, and Arrieta for a bunch of mediocre A ball relievers is awful. I can't believe you're even suggesting it.
He's a former #9 pick who had a 1.4 WAR season as a 22 year old before struggling as a 23 year old last year. Plus he's white, so Bosio probably won't refuse to work with him like he has with Jackson.
I mean, it's not like you have to choose one or the other. There aren't separate strategies. You hope for the division as long as it's still in play, and it's definitely still in play.
We're still worrying about the Cardinals? Pretty sure that race is over. The lead was down to 2.5 games a few days ago. Relax. The Cardinals are so clearly better even with injuries. They beat us and they sweep teams we should beat. They won a series against us, guys. See you next April!
We're still worrying about the Cardinals? Pretty sure that race is over. Yeah, it's almost June. If we were .5 or maybe even 1 game behind, then MAYBE. But 4.5 games?! lol
Well, they kind of did and all those guys broke (Olt, Denorfia) or were unexpectedly terribad (Alcatara, Baez sorta). Lastella, too. Man...we've had extremely bad luck with the bench players.
