This is the worst one yet. Not only is Markakis an inferior player, but they're rebuilding. That team is being run into the ground.

Markakis sucks

He still has to round out the roster, something he's been terrible at. Love the moves so far, but he has further to climb still.

What's the opposite of lamp?

Hunt has been a disaster in Atlanta so far. My god their fans must be pissed.

PEOPLE DON'T ENJOY A GAME THE WAY I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD cf

AA is absolutely killing it this offseason.

I think they're trading Holland or Davis. Probably Holland.

What's up with Kawa. He was arb-eligible, right?

Chris Cotillo should be ashamed of what he started.

I think its yes, easily.

I like all these moves.

Astros have Mike Fast in the front office. They won't have any interest in an awful framer like Navarro.

Would definitely offer him a small contract.

You know what sucked? When you beat me in the 3rd place match despite abandoning your team while I actually tried to win.

Yikes. TRM has made his roster transition pretty difficult by basically sitting on his team for 15 months.

I think you can get league-average production from LF a lot more efficiently than trading for a year of Fowler.

One industry source says he "knew" the Athletics would trade Josh Donaldson this winter, no matter how little baseball sense it made, because the All-Star and Beane were "at war" by season's end. Multiple sources cite a verbal altercation between the two after Donaldson told manager Bob Melvin he needed a couple of days off after Oakland had played several days in a row. The story goes, Beane told Donaldson if he needed a couple of days off, the club should put him on the disabled list, and that made Donaldson unhappy. ... "Donaldson told the manager he needed a blow, and [bob] Melvin said, 'You got it,' " the source said. "Then that night's lineup came out and Billy asked, 'Where's Donaldson?' " When told what happened, the source says, an angry Beane demanded that Melvin put Donaldson back into the lineup. "They got into it in the coach's office," the source says, describing a scene in which Beane lit into Donaldson, with the third baseman reiterating his need for a day off and petulantly calling Beane "Billy Boy." "Nobody talks to Billy that way," the source said. "It did not surprise me in the least that he got rid of Donaldson."

Gross

A mod should probably get on this if TRM won't go down honourably.

lol, why?

Maybe this offseason you'll want to consider making a move or two.

Even if he only gives you like 60 innings - they're probably better than Estrada's.

Yeah, me too. LOD has to have a couple of flawless seasons before being close.
