  1. Yes. People arguing otherwise is consistently annoying.
  2. Whoever ran his drafts seems to have done good work, and the team had a healthy prospect pipeline, but for the majority of his tenure he was ineffective at assembling a cohesive 25-man roster with capable backups in place to round out the 40-man. Buying wins efficiently is not a demonstrated skill of his, and that's critical if you're going to win on a payroll less than $150M.
  3. More specifically, he didn't want Mark Shapiro as his boss. I doubt he would have cared about the President title if Rogers brought in someone with a business background.
  4. I'm sure it will happen, just maybe not in the next couple of years.
  5. Another interesting tie is that Beeston and Loria know each other very well, and Beeston recommending AA to his old buddy might go a long way.
  6. AA operating under a $50M budget will be an absolute s*** show.
  7. I accept this.
  8. Yesterday was the first day with no Beeston/AA. So yesterday.
  9. lol, I don't think I've ever been called a prospect porn guy before
  10. No. I have no idea what he's going to do, or what shape is body is in and anyone pretending to be confident on either side is fooling themselves. I'm just saying that there are reasons for concern that seem to have depressed his value once already.
  11. Do they? And when it comes to the health prospectus of a player who just spent a decade+ in their org, and who was moved as a salary dump despite apparent 5-win upside, I value what they think more than just about anyone else.
  12. I think he gets over $100M, but not by much. And certainly not by enough to think he has big trade value. As for him putting up 4+ wins, nobody knows what caused his issues this year. Is his body just falling apart? Colorado seems to think so.
  13. A 31-year old HOF talent averaging 98 games a year over the last 4 years, coming off a 100 wRC+ season, and projected at 3.5 wins.
  14. Unless they knew they could move Reyes, he's basically a wash with the prospects value-wise. This trade was 100% Colorado not wanting to be on the hook for Tulo's contract going forward. Which makes sense, because how many teams would offer him 5/100 this offseason? A couple IMO.
  15. Contracts exist, and he has a long and very scary injury history. It's the reason why Colorado pretty much gave him away. If they could have had more, they would have traded him for more.
  16. lol @ Tulo returning Giolito and Turner. He just got traded for a small fraction of that, and the Rockies ate Reyes' contract. They could probably get like Tanner Roark or something.
  17. The org has gone from Paul Godfrey to Paul Beeston to one of the best baseball minds in the game at team President. This is huge.
  18. When was the last time an interim GM hire who wasn't some old fart didn't end up getting the job on a permanent basis?
  19. Wasn't it that freepizza, lee_marvin guy?
  20. It's amazing how that guy blended in for years, and then literally went insane. He's a legit crazy person now.
  21. Yes. Granted, my opinion would be different if I were actually on the team and winning baseball games.
  22. I wouldn't want payroll in the bottom third, but I also find it a lot more fun cheering for a team with actual payroll restrictions. Give me the 10th highest payroll instead of one in the top-3. It's a lot more interesting that way.
