Oh god, please not the "signing an fa for $150 million is fine, but damned if we are giving up the 20th pick" argument too.

My guess is both. He makes weak contact and could probably sustain a bit more BABIP.

Good God-did you even read what I wrote? You don't have to for a [expletive] rental. There's more than enough that I listed to grab you any rental out there. If we're trading for a guy with control-I don't care if Schwarber or Soler is moved honestly. The phrase in quotes didn't appear in your post, a contextual clue that I wasn't replying to yours, which I found quite reasonable.

Oh goodie, we're back to trading some prospects "hurting the long-term in a major way." If making ordinary contender-level deadline deals hurts the long term in a major way, the log term isn't that well solidified.

Just don't get swept, plz.

If "75% chance at the wild card isn't a good time to invest prospects" becomes an actual common argument among the BN types, that may finally be the last straw that drives me to actively rooting against the team to spite them.

The difference in WS odds when making the wild-card game vs. out entirely is substantial. They don't need to be making huge deals, but if you can't find it in you to trade some third-tier prospects for a small bump in the odds of getting there, then you shouldn't have signed Lester or called up Russell or committed any resources at all. A reliever, a position player who can platoon with anyone except Rizzo or Bryant. That'd be plenty. But I am pretty confident this is just smokescreening. We will be buyers in some capacity.

And will there be video?

Roger Sterling smiles somewhere.

i like when everything is too negative and the new contrarian position is positive kyle When you point it out it ruins it.

Winning 1-0 with Jenkins there would be cool.

New rule: every post complaining about some facet of the offense must be balanced with praise of the pitching staff by the same poster.

Being 2.5 up on a playoff spot I sweet.

Back to back double donging incoming

Got there

It became very clear to me sitting out there today that every decision I've made in my entire life has been wrong. My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every aspect of life, be it something to wear, something to eat - it's all been wrong.

I don't think saying "I expect" is applying any level of undue certainty. We all know that player projections involve huge margins of error and anything can happen. It isn't just his age, although that is a big part of it. His scouting reports frequently described a player with more certainty than potential, floor than ceiling, or whatever you want to call it. I do see the argument that he is due for more power than he is shown, but I also don't think UZR is going to like him this much long-term and despite what he has done as a pro, I don't think he can sustain a .360 BABIP (flashback to arguments on whether Castro's two years of .345 to start his career were sustainable). But just in case this isn't implicit, the above is simply my opinion and is not meant to carry any authoritative weight beyond that of a message-board goob who reads crap like Fangraphs and hardball timesz -
#wearegood 23 straight scoreless innings

Whoa, slow down boys before they have to raise the mound.
