If Moncada is really a super-rare 1.1 talent like some of these stories have claimed, then fine. But if he's a Soler-type, I don't think I want to blow $60m or whatever off our 2015 baseball budget that could be used to help the MLB team win.
I'm worried that we're going to decide everyone is too expensive and just sit on a ton of empty payroll like last offseason. I'm not a huge Martin fan, but he's not nothing.
So either a) We aren't liking the way the FA pitcher market is setting up b) We're trying to send out signals that we aren't liking the way the FA pitcher market is setting up c) None of the above I love offseason rumors.
Great! My willingness to trade him is based out of concern, not actively hoping he fails, so it's not like a player on my favorite team turning out to be good would be a bad thing. It might ruin our draft position and cost us the next Kris Bryant.
We're probably being too optimistic talking about Yoan in this thread. It's weird to me that people think it's a serious possibility we can convince him to just wait 7 months to sign or whatever.
Hey, I didn't make up the definition. No, you just made up the source you chose to take it from. Words aren't allowed to have different definitions in different contexts. That would be chaos.
You've never heard of Jose Abreu? Jesus he made the all star team and everything. We couldn't have used him because neither he nor Rizzo could have handled LF, or something.
