Yup. It's annoying because A) he's jasyblue, and he has a good rapport with Gibbers and keeps going to back to that well to buy long-term lineup fixtures at pennies on the dollar.
Same team next year, minus Buehrle and with Dickey, Bautista, Reyes, and Edwin another year removed from their physical primes. If the payroll space was there (and it isn't, so its a moot point) Hoffman for Hamels is a no-brainer.
"It was just a small brawl, things like that happens in the playoffs. It was some guys who said some things and were a bit mad at the center ice. - Deveaux
So you weren't the one who started it? - Interviewer
No, I didn't. Both teams started it, we yelled a bit at each other and no one was hurt. Everything's fine, I don't remember it too well. - Deveaux"
lol
Some of these players seem to think that they're above consequences for assault as long as it happens on the ice. I'd love to see these things start being punished in the same way it would be if they happened on the street.
I think that's what surprised a lot of people. No opportunity to discuss offers, and the final deal doesn't have that 'wow, I can see why he accepted immediately' factor.
Interesting. Would you trade prospect capital for pieces to help in 2016? In terms of likely top-200 talent next year I see Soler, Arcia, and possibly Machado. I'm looking forward to seeing you start to acquire talent to help in the present.
Just curious as what you're thinking going forward. You must have an idea in mind for when this will come together and lead to a playoff birth. 2017? Later?
Marte for Heaney and Odorizzi
Posey and Hutchison for Profar, Myers, Chacin, 5th round pick
Castro for Shelby Miller
jaysblue is absolutely feasting on Gibbers.
Marte is only entering his age 26 season. As long as he maintains CF eligibility, that's a hugely valuable asset. Close to top-50 for two guys I wouldn't have top-200.
