Wow, robbery by jaysblue. Zajac is pretty much a non-asset, so it's basically Draisaitl for Duchene. Duchene is only 23, and the odds are pretty small that Draisaitl is ever as good.
Yeah. I meant that I don't think they'd add a Turner/Gordon/Van Slyke to Crawford to get Reyes. If anything similar happens it would be Reyes + useful things to LA as a salary dump.

You haven't received enough attention for targeting Coors bats. You've had a ton of success with the strategy, and it makes a very big impact.
No I actually kind of agree. If the plan is to use Norris as strictly a DH platoon and only very rarely at C, you are using two spots on the DH. I'd want him to be one of two catchers on the 25-man if he's on the roster.
Examples? I haven't exactly looked for comments he's made, but I expected a trainwreck when Colby came over from St. Louis and have been surprised that Tony has seemed fairly reasonable and informed for the most part.
My god that Justin Upton trade was awful. It's one of the only examples I can find of a very good position player traded pre-arb. There's also Josh Hamilton for Volquez
I remember seeing his username, but the only jariax posts I actually remember were him making a Nick Adenhart joke, and then getting himself banned so he could start over.
