  1. I wouldn't be all that bummed about Torres but I don't know if it will take that. I'm not huge on Torres, both because of what he profiles as and our need. I see him purely as trade ammo. I'd hope/think his standing could get us more than a rental reliever (a really damn good one but also with huge baggage), but maybe he can't. If they can deal him as the centerpiece of a package for one of those starters with team control they're looking for, that'd be great. I just really have no idea how the market values him. I feel like it almost will have to take a guy like Torres. Enough teams want Chapman and the Yankees at least have to get something as good as a first round pick since they would tender him even if they can't resign him. They won't get Joe Ross, but a teenager in A ball seems like a possibility. I don't even care about Torres that much either. I, too, just assume he could bring back more than a rental, but maybe not. I mean, the kid may never even play above Triple A for all I know. I don't know anything about anything but of the top 3-4 guys in our system (assuming Almora graduated which I think he did last week) Torres is the guy that I'd be most ok with giving up. Although for a rental I'm still not thrilled with the idea at all
  2. I heard he also gave her the cancer
  3. Hope this dude is a complete BSer
  4. None of that will happen. Really you don't think so? IIRC he promised to find the real killer. Oh wait nvm that was OJ
  5. [tweet] [/tweet] Starlin died for nothing
  6. I'd do it if he would sign an extension and could provide irrefutable proof he did not beat his gf and then fire his shotgun off several times in anger.
  7. I could like him again if he somehow turned into a lockdown ace in the playoffs and the Cubs won the world series. Other than that probably not.
  8. Another Brewers pitcher I've never heard the of and another one who has been dominating as of late (2.53 ERA in last 7 starts) But that's ok because Lester is back on track and ready to kill the Brewers
  9. Era over his past 6 starts: 6.02
  10. Just keep winning series. Lester on the bump tomorrow it's all good
  11. and the Cardinals package includes Wong. nobody [expletive] wants Kolten Wong. Nobody horsefeathering wants Warren either
  12. Nieunajdjenss for the season: .195 BA 5 HR .653 OPS against the Cubs: 8-22 with 3 HR
  13. At a party with a Cardinals fan. First attack was Heyward/Piscotti. Then he told me I'm a moron for saying I'd still take Addy over Diaz.
  14. Other than resigning Fowler which was our best acquisition: Heyward Lackey Warren Cahill resign Richard resign Coghlan for Aaron Brooks
  15. Zobrist Willy and Heyward. Hopefully Willy homers to salvage the innhng
  16. Hey now he got clipped with a baseball on his foot yesterday
  17. Know nothing about this Brewers starter except that he's a righty and he has a 2.93 ERA over his last 7 starts so he's throwing well.
