Good. If we're not selling then I hope we're not buying

Club is well on its way to the WS. Need to keep all our relievers instead of unloading them for pieces to restock the farm.

In other words, I'm keeping all my guys and looking to add in the winter.

The GM is in denial... this will not end well.

[ElNik2013]

I've said before, I'll reserve judgement till after the deadline. Unless I'm mistaken, he'll have to either trade a couple of reliever or risk losing them by dfa'ing/waiving them. I just don't see the need to pay 4M each to Janssen and Santos especially with the payroll problems that loom. We'll have to wait and see.

Not sure it's denial when so many of our high caliber players are playing well below their career averages. I think the right approach is to see if the team can turn it around next year... if not, sell mode goes into full effect

Hot pile of manure right there.

[theblujay]

If we don't trade a reliever I'm going to be very upset

[havok24]

Probably another Happ type deal on the horizon.

Prepare to be upset lol.

You mean Dickey... who's going to be what? 40 next year? Johnson? He's gone anyways. Bautista's another year older and declining... Melky? Maybe if he starts taking roids again?

[Angrioter]

Oh God, this organization suck

[havok24]

Oh God, this organization suck

 

This organization is a god damn joke. The present f***ing sucks and the future looks even worse.

You can't just say "he's older therefore here's declining"... and you know as well as anyone (casual fan or not) this team is playing below expectations, below their expected value.

[havok24]

Delmonico is actually a pretty decent prospect in high A ball.

 

We should be able to get a nice return from our surplus of quality RP, that's if AA actually does sell a few of them at the deadline.

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

FIRE HIM NOW! The fact that he's not selling is a disgrace!

[dineke]

I'm sorry bro but Bautista is declining.

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

You can't just say "he's older therefore here's declining"...

 

I can, however, say that because his OPS, wOBA, wRC+, and wRAA are plummeting by the year, it's a pretty safe assumption that he's declining.

[Atothe]

Bautista is pretty clearly a tier or two below where he was in 2010 and 2011.

 

Wasted his great value by pipedreaming it, AA that is

[ElNik2013]

I would've been ok with a full-blown rebuild when AA took over or after 2010 or 2011.

Expectations don't mean s***. The reality is that Pillsbury Doughboy went into this without any depth at the starting rotation in case of injuries and was forced to rely on guys like Chien-Ming Wang, Ramon Ortiz, Aaron Laffey, Todd Redmond and Ismail Rogers. They also have the one of the worse catchers behind the plate and not really a single plus defender up the middle. So can we please stop pretending like this team should be doing a lot better than it is?

Man, AA needs to move Janssen ASAP. With the market the way it is he would get a solid return. Oliver needs to go as well.

[jayswin11]

Ya Oliver needs to go for sure.

 

Davis, Izturis maybe interest some teams. A NL team may even like Bonifacio. I want Arencibia gone too, but that won't happen

[Angrioter]

 

No Janssen/Delabar/Cecil/Oliver/Santos
