    I think when they're all up and everything clicks (fingers crossed) they'll realize they are all a part of something extremely special and are trying to do something which hasn't been done in over a century, and they'll love every [expletive] minute of it. I think because of this they'll be open to signing long term deals. They'll all be comning up through the same system together striving to win the World Series. How many World Series teams have had an abundance of players on their roster that came up through the ranks at the same time to reach the highest stage? If that happens, that would have to feel pretty [expletive] awesome for them, and I think they won't want to play anywhere else, at least not for a long time. But that's just my own daydream speculation. Yes it certainly is.

    The good thing is Gio Gonzalez was an easy sell as a 5 win player what with his 6.6 fWAR over 535 career innings. do you seriously believe that i have been arguing gio gonzalez is or was viewed as a 5 win player? or is it that you just cannot engage in an argument/discussion without creating some absurd strawman? I don't know what you're arguing. Garza's most recent season isn't going to change anybody's mind about what type of pitcher he is, but Gio Gonzalez's 2 seasons will? Do you think 2 years of Garza coming off his best season returns more than 2 months of Garza coming off an injury? ETA: The funny thing is it appears OUR FO decided Garza was going to perform closer to that 5 win player, otherwise they would've sold high before the season we all agree they weren't trying to win at. Instead they figured he'd at least pitch well enough until July to return something just as good for 1.5 seasons vs. 2. They gambled and lost, it happens. They did the same with Marmol, and probably Soto.

    If they do what they've done with pitching in the past (a couple guys from the McCarthy/Liriano/whatever is out there along those lines), is that enough? What is that a 70M payroll?

    With the amount of money we have to spend, I'm going to be pretty disappointed without Scherzer or Lester. So I'm going to be pretty disappointed.

    Well we did turn our existing pitching into Samardzija the starter, Travis Wood, and Anthony Rizzo.

    That A's roster is pretty shitty

    Almora's draft position was already locked in from the 2011 season. Schwarber could have been drafted later than 3rd.

    So what, we just let them walk after that?

    They should want the full year of Bryant at 29 and Baez at 28 more than making their 2015s slightly better, it's an enormous benefit with little sacrificed. Even in the most extreme example of parity you can come up with between them and their placeholders, it's costing the 2015 a single win to gain tens of millions of value. And Valbuena is good enough that one of Baez/Bryant won't be filling a 'hole' anyway. If signing Baez and Bryant in 2021 is an issue then PTR has failed beyond even my wildest dreams.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    If we keep Baez and Bryant down until May of next year they aren't attempting to compete and they're prioritizing 2021 over 2015

    And much better than Miguel Cabrera returned.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Pretty sure this is a sign that Baez is coming up soon

    He's not in the majors yet #firetheo LMAO

    I don't think that's really part of their strategy. Just kind of a coincidence. You've also got Travis Wood, Chris Volstad, the aborted Delgado acquisition, Vizcaino, and to a lesser extent; Michael Bowden, Jaye Chapman, and Henry Rodriguez
