f***! And it fell at the end? Porque? Should have added Sanchez instead of Norris/Pompey to get er done AA!

[Candy Maldonado]

I think we might be in store for a weird homer handshake.

Regardless of Pompey's FV, he would still look a lot nicer in LF than Carerra or Colabello at the moment. That being said, I don't mind if he is traded for a pitching upgrade.

That would be a good use of prospect trading

[RealAccountant]

good night. wasnt as fun as the Donaldson trade night,but still good

 

Good night

 

And good night to all. Thanks AA

Also, very concerned about this: "Tulowitzki will pick up a $2MM assignment bonus and a full no-trade clause by virtue of being dealt."

Kiley has a 50 FV on Pompey. That's not really anything amazing. Pretty sure Syndergaard had a 60 at the time of the Dickey trade though I could be wrong.

 

Idk, maybe they are equally valued by GMs but I'd be a lot more comfortable with dealing Pompey than Syndergaard from 2 years ago.

 

You are wrong, and morever you were being an ******* when i said Pompey is worth more than a top 50 guy, considering how obvious that statement is. Syndergaard wasn't a can't miss prospect when we traded him, many had Sanchez ahead of him, he was ranked in the 25-50 range, either lower or pretty much where Pompey is right now. And you actually said that Syndergaard was worth more than Pompey and Alford combined.

[FrozenRopes]

That offense now tho...

[Stangstag]

Just find it funny that everyone adores Donaldson, who seems to be a giant *******, while s***ing all over Reyes' personality, who seems to be an awesome guy.

 

Donaldson is an *******? I love Reyes' personality, I just hate the fact that his defense turned to s*** this year.

Wow

[BTS]

Has anyone even proven that the newer turf has a negative impact?

 

I dunno, I'm just weary of Tulo's aging in general. I had several multi-page arguments about him last year. Players who had a hard time staying healthy in their 20s aren't guys I want to rely on into their mid 30s.

Also, very conerned about this: "Tulowitzki will pick up a $2MM assignment bonus and a full no-trade clause by virtue of being dealt."

 

Your concern has been noted, thank you.

[nmrch]

Is turf proven to cause more injuries?

 

no it hasn't, a quick search on Google Scholar and even just reading a couple of abstracts will make that clear. Turf has a bad reputation but its not based on actual science.

Asking for clarification is being an *******.

 

How do you operate in the real world? Work privately from home?

Weak offer IMO.

[bill]

tulo may be more injury prone than reyes

[Daniel Labude]

Weak offer IMO.

 

Did they ever mention why if fell through...which side back out?

[BTS]

tulo may be more injury prone than reyes

 

For sure.

[baubau]

I think trading EE makes even more sense because it opens up the DH position to rotate Bautista and Tulo. I would be surprised if EE isn't traded for a pitcher now. But I've been surprised that Navarro is still on this team soo...

[Praxis]

Your concern has been noted, thank you.

 

Much appreciated. I am concerned though, given that he is owed $20m for the next 5 years and $14m after that and now has a full no trade clause. Don't get me wrong, I love Tulo and would much rather have him over Reyes, but that's a big financial and injury gamble to take for one player.

Well at least he could DH a bit and his play doesn't revolve around speed

[BTS]

Presumably Cleveland, because they're smart.

[TheHurl]

I thought we were not getting grass until 2018?

 

I just assumed with Argos gone...but honestly I haven't paid attention.

[King]

Cleveland backed out for obvious reasons

EE is not a huge trade chip

You acted like i said the craziest thing in the world, the kind of thing LTBF would say. And calling someone an ******* doesn't mean you're torn up about it, its just an observation.

[Daniel Labude]

Packaged with Norris...could be possible

[Stangstag]

EE is not a huge trade chip

 

I think he has alot more value than most of us think. He's still a mid-order power bat with a cheap 2016 option

My observation is that you seem a bit too delicate for the internet, and also that you seem a bit on the crazy side.
