well it's becoming more and more of a regular thing, and that is my issue with it. I understand maybe needing a day off after yesterday though. but if it keeps up like this I would be okay with just pulling the trigger on a navarro trade for whatever they can get and have thole catch once every 5 games. but just as long as he only ever catches dickey. but that argument is played out.
as for hamels: I think that kind of move is something you to to help push you over the edge when you are close to a world series title. trading the farm for an arm that *might* help you get to the playoffs (and probably not much more) is just not worth it to me. I would much rather build around a core that shows that it is good enough to make the postseason and maybe even win a series. THEN make a trade for a big name like Hamels. it is a very big risk to trade the future for the present, and we have seen that s***** movie more than enough times. that is just my take on it though!
