I looked into this about two days ago because I've had enough of their ads and half-page banners. I couldn't believe that they wanted $50 to not display ads.
My mind went to Trout as well, but I assume Callis is referring to the fanfare at the time of the draft; Trout was not as highly regarded at the time. Having said that, there's just no way Torkelson is as hyped or as heralded as Bryce Harper was, as you guys said.
It's funny how the Clevinger trade worked out equally well for both of us. You got an ace in Clevinger and I got an ace in Glasnow, and both are way better than either of us ever could've hoped for. Pretty weird and unlikely.
Yeah, it was a hefty price tag, but I'm comfortable with it, as I've been after Soler since before his breakout. Honestly, I feel like I now have a top 3 team in this league and the prospects I gave up can be replaced over time.
If anyone is offering an impact bat (preferably at OF or 2B), I'm willing to move a package centred around Andrew Vaughn and Jasson Dominguez, etc. Could move any of my prospects. Looking to make a splash.
