    You'd hate to have it happen under these circumstances, but it's not a bad idea in general with his contract. Almost a certainty we're losing one of Sharp, Saad, Seabrook after this year....al long as its not Saad. However, not sure what kind of trade we'd be making at the deadline that would include him. Someone like him would usually get traded for prospects, but I don't think we're giving up on this year yet. Just have to wonder if they'd have enough offense to get through the rest of the year and first two rounds without Kane and Sharp.

    Don't know who this guy is but his Twitter account is verified. Certainly seems like he's referencing the Sharp/Keith rumors with his last line. That's the moron NFL color guy from Fox. Same rumors that came out over the offseason, which supposedly had validity because Sharp was going through a divorce. 6 months later, Sharp is still married. They didn't even practice yesterday (or this morning), so it would have had to have been....after their shootout victory on Tuesday? I'm sure there are players that don't like each other, but I don't think that's unique to the Hawks. Start winning games and this will all go away. This is totally speculation, but I think there's still a ton of guilt felt in the locker room from the Clint Reif thing. Probably has raised the tension level quite a bit.

    Yeah the Amaro factor really puts a halt on things. Cameron put a decent article up on Fangraphs today basically saying that the Phillies should be using the money committed to Lee as a way of 'buying' young talent. There's nothing in Amaro's history to show he would be willing to think outside the box like that, or make reasonable valuations on what everything is worth, but if he was willing to pick up a good chunk of that contract for the purpose of acquiring talent, it could be worth a discussion.

    Which other URL is that? Or, maybe someone better at the internet can tell me.... I'm on the site fine on my laptop at home. Been working since last night. All day yesterday and all day today at work, I keep getting the Japanese site. Anyway around that?

    Fun (or maybe not) hypothetical....general idea borrowed from discussions in another topic, plus the FG article today about farm system value. Cole Hamels + Cliff Lee + Enough money to pick up all of both contracts (just the buyout for Lee) for Kris Bryant. Thoughts?

    I think he pulled most of this work from the individual team profiles, but that's still his work, so yeah....pretty impressive. Taking my time through the list, but so far: 1. Bryant 2. Buxton 3. Russell 4. Urias 13. Soler 21. Schwarbs 64. Edwards 92. Almora 124. Underwood 125. Johnson 142-200. (Didn't list individual numbers): Vogelbach, McKinney, Torres

    Theo has a macro set up in his Outlook that sends the Angels an EJax for Trout offer every half hour. "Can't hurt"

    Hahaha "Jay has the skillset that I have....and then some". Even he knows his insane this all is.

    Why don't we just offer to take Lee back too? Use some of that money we didn't use the past few years and speed up this process even more.

    7th most valuable player in baseball.

    God I want this at Wrigley.

    you probably won't want to compare Olt's stats to Baez's so far Yeah I obviously know the pedigrees are a little different, but I spent a depressing 10 minutes this morning switching back and forth from Baez's Fangraphs page and Olt/Vitters/BJax's FG page. Let's hope these next 100 or so PAs show that progress he's made at every other level.

    Please just...don't strike out.

    Great AB from Hendricks, big hit from Coghlan. Put one on Waveland Javi.
  19. squally1313
    I keep forgetting we have him too. I automatically check Soler and then Almora every night, and then have to remind myself that we also have the best middle infield prospect in baseball, even though we just promoted the best middle infield prospect in baseball.

    Not really. It's been like two weeks. It's going to take quite a bit longer for him to adjust to the majors. Yeah, it'd be great if next season could just start immediately after this season ends, because I think that would about the time frame needed for him to make his adjustments. As it is now, I'm hoping for some success in the next month or so just so he's got something to build on going into next year. Basically, I'm hoping that the 6 months off doesn't screw up his normal progression (200ish mediocre PAs, then the lights turn on).

    Oh man, Javy and Starling joking with each other while the pop up was in the air. That moment...forever.

    STOP.....BUNTING (Chris Traeger voice)
  23. squally1313
    If we put out this line-up in front of a league average rotation for 162 games, we'd have to end up with around a 500 record, right?
  24. squally1313
    Yeah this Ramirez guy and his 1.26 ERA sucks. OK? Just seemed like a weird time to make the comment. Especially given that our bullpen has been average to above average by most measures for the season (9th in FIP, 16th in xFIP)
