  1. That was my general thought as well, but honestly I think it would be better to keep both him and Boni. Get rid of DeRosa and get either a true 3rd baseman (moving Lawrie to 2nd) or a true 2nd baseman. Boni (regardless of his struggles) and Izzy are actually pretty damn good bench options.
  2. Our best trade fit appears to be the Tigers by a wide margin. Something along the lines of Janssen + Loup + Gose + Rogers FOR Castellanos + Smyly perhaps. Not sure that quite gets it done, but should be a good basis.
  3. The Rangers took a HUGE risk on Darvish. It's looking like it's going to definitely pay off for them, but that's the kind of move that can cripple a franchise for years if you get it wrong. For where we were at the time, I'm not upset nor do I think we should regret not getting him. Like many others, I would have loved to have gotten Latos though.
  4. WAY too early. Injuries / life happens to players. One major injury to Trout's legs and he becomes the current Alfonso Soriano.
  5. Trout is way WAY too young and early in his career to make statements that he'll be one of the best players ever. With that said, everyone wanting to compare other players to Trout is ridiculous.
  6. There may be other ways to offer incentives, such as guaranteeing they start at a certain level or are fast-tracked, etc. Maybe they get special access to extra instruction or something too.
  7. Only Rajai would choke up on the bat while taking a home run cut ...
  8. Beltran stole home on a double steal in the Stl/Mia game.
  9. I'd be very happy if we could resign him for something like 5/60 or 5/70. I think we should let him walk if that doesn't do it though.
  10. I just can't bring myself to do it ... so I'll go with Lind today.
  11. Aren't they receiving significantly more money from revenue sharing than they are paying in salary even before this trade? At this point to not include salary to get better prospects is pretty much unforgivable for them imo.
  12. We would have lost some from rule 5 if they weren't traded for someone anyhow. A prime guy in return *usually* takes prime prospects in the package, not a bunch of mediocre ones. Same with the Marlins trade (and we STILL have 40 man problems, regardless of how they were created). For me personally the ONLY guy I'm really upset about losing is Syndergaard, and his hype probably exceeds his realistic future upside unless those secondary pitches take a big step forward.
  13. Here's an interesting Sportsnet article on DMac and starting. Of particular note is that McGowan says he isn't sure if the program is helping his velocity or not, but that it's significantly helping his shoulder strength and arm recovery in between appearances. http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/davidi-jays-not-rushing-mcgowan-into-rotation/
  14. Chris Davis goes yard ... this is a recording
  15. I really doubt he'll sue. It would mean a whole lot of attention over the steroid stuff that Zaun would probably rather everyone forget (whether he's guilty or not). The bad press could put his job in jeopardy too. He really has absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose.
  16. Lind really needs a different hair style... That thing is hideous.
  17. They're quite well done. Gets the message across without being preachy or trying to make people depressed.
  18. EE had better not be in the home run contest. He'll kill someone in the crowd with his bat.
  19. You can change the number of posts displayed on a page, so you'd be better off giving a post number (in the future).
  20. MIB combined with Rush Hour lol (at least from 15 seconds of commercial footage)
