    god damnit Stay mad, I guess? If you're convinced that a player who is playing well is actually bad (at this moment), I don't know what to tell you. I'm not saying Adam Jones (or Heyward or whoever) will continue to be good the rest of the year, I'm only saying that in the small sample size that is the 2019 season, they have been good. i thought you were trolling. i think it goes without saying that we're talking about more than a 3 week sample when we talk about whether or not a player is "good". i said that he is better than almora/happ, while pointing out that there is a valid reason why he didn't get a good contract in the offseason. he's a 33 year old outfielder who was worth .6 war last season and 1.7 the year before. i don't know why you would take issue with me pointing out that he is likely a bad player going forward, and then shrug and pretend like you don't understand the problem with evaluating a player based on less than a month of games.

    do you think heyward and vogelbach are good now too Are they playing well? If they are playing well right now, then they are good right now. I don't pretend to have the ability to prognosticate the future god damnit

    javy did a really good job to put that ball in play in the 9th with 2 strikes. it was a perfectly placed fastball at 97 from bradley

    they've been really talking up chatwood so far this season, and I dont know if they'd be doing this if he wasnt still owed a bunch of money. it seems like they're trying to force him into getting starts to see if we can salvage some value. I'd rather just use the real starters and try to win the series. if he is the 6th best option in the rotation, he will get a chance eventually.

    but we have another day off monday. why cant we just skip him completely. AZ rakes against LHP so they wanted a righty and Chatwood is the only option. seems desperate and dumb

    there was no reason to trade them then. especially russell. saying they "should" have traded them in hindsight is pointless, especially since there was probably more reason to trade baez then, which would have been a huge mistake. Russell had a #1 prospect attached to his name and would most likely bring more in return. To me Baez had a higher ceiling than Russell, even at that time. russell would have brought more in return because he had more value at that time. i don't think it was even a question then. the fact that you may have thought baez was worth more doesn't change the fact that the baseball world didn't. but the point is that there was no reason to trade russell after 2016. they were never going to have 100% of these young hitting prospects pan out. they had to let the stars prove themselves and then try to get value for the busts while they still could. trading 22 year old russell after his 4-win 2016 made no sense. he looked like a young cheap star, and the plan of competing for the better part of a decade revolved around getting those.

    Schwarber & Russell should have been traded after the WS. there was no reason to trade them then. especially russell. saying they "should" have traded them in hindsight is pointless, especially since there was probably more reason to trade baez then, which would have been a huge mistake.

    if hamels has a good year, what kind of deal could he look for this offseason? would we have interest?
