    Tell me the last time a trade of a pitcher as good as Stroman with additional control got only 2 prospects, none of whom are current top 100 prospects or decent major leaguers. Trades this bad rarely happen. It wouldn't shock me if it hasn't happened this decade.
  2. Grant77
    Overpay? This is a historically weak return. All we wanted was a mediocre to average haul.
  3. Grant77
    Sonny Gray a couple of years back was somewhat similar to Stro but worse and he got a top 100, maybe top 50 guy, and another on the fringes.
  4. Grant77
    History says he did. Top of the rotation type pitchers consistently go for MASSIVE hauls at the deadline. Almost every time, like clockwork. A great pitcher remains the most valued asset in the game.
  5. Grant77
    This return is unacceptable, one of the worst I have ever seen at the time of the trade. Worse than the Dickey trade. Why are we treating Stroman like a Kevin Gausman/JA Happ type asset. That's the type of return we got. Good teams take a guy like Yu Darvish or Aroldis Chapman and turn them into elite prospects. That's why we are never going to be good with this regime. They can't properly evaluate talent outside of the draft and thry have proven that time and time again. I'm beyond disappointed in what they did here. It's a fireable offense for Atkins.

    Sounds to me like when someone in the Trump regime 'resigns' but we'll see.
  7. Grant77
    Shelley Duncan was let go and 2 guys got traded for an apparent steaming pile of s*** so there are reasons to be upset.
  8. Grant77
    That might be a worse fleecing than the Dickey trade (at the time).
  9. Grant77
    Atkins' trade record leaves a lot to be desired. This deadline is his chance to make on the team and may define his legacy as a failure or a success.
  10. Grant77
    Being the first major trade, I expected this to be a pretty good deal for us. Otherwise we could have waited longer. Teams are desperate and we control the market.
  11. Grant77
    I wouldn't hate something like Diaz and Mauricio for Stro. Keep Diaz until next year and try to fix him like they did with Giles. Then we could get a massive return next year. I like the buy low idea.
  12. Grant77
    Scott Mitchell of TSN says we get a pair of PTBNL.
  13. Grant77
    I would be pleased with an advanced arm like Riley O'Brien. Someone who can eat some innings next season perhaps.
  14. Grant77
    Gotta be weird being traded to the team in the other dugout.
  15. Grant77
    I rarely go on twitter, just typed in Eric Sogard to take a peek. First 7 tweets were confirmation that a deal is finalized to the Brewers, Mets, Giants, Cubs, Braves, not the Cubs, and not the Braves. Lol
  16. Grant77
    Smoak!!!
  17. Grant77
    Vintage Sanchez. I wish we could see more consistency, his stuff is incredible.
  18. Grant77
    I can't see us making such a big fuss over Osuna and then getting a similar guy at a position of depth, but it would be a steal from a value perspective.
  19. Grant77
    All of 2 minutes and 30 seconds so far.
  20. Grant77
    Sogard trade is imminent apparently.
  21. Grant77
    Brewers trying to move Moustakas or Grandal for pitching. I wonder if there's something there where we give them Stro and Sogard and flip Moose to a team like the Phils, getting prospects from both teams.
  22. Grant77
    He's not that much different than Giles when we got him. s***** ERA, great peripherals, and lots of control. He'd be a good guy to gamble on even if we have to give up some prospects. Get him back into form and he's a huge trade chip next year.
  23. Grant77
    If we're interested in Diaz then the preferred move is probably to keep him. Let him get back to being an elite closer and deal him next year. It's not a terrible idea if tye price is right.
  24. Grant77
    Not comfortable, lol. Those two would be a cheap price for either Stroman or Giles, let alone both. That's like our equivalent of Pardinho and Smith for two controllable elite talents.
  25. Grant77
    That rule is fine, but the ball clearly wasn't deflected into the stands. It had already come off the wall. He bobbled it into the stands.
