Its been like 8 years and I wonder how the hell the Padres keep getting all these assets to make these type of trades. They've emptied the cupboard 5 times during that time lol.
Haha youre the one who randomly cried about my post and im the one who had a nerve struck? The world is too scary for you if comments like mine bother you.
And lol @ thinking you nuked anything when I had a bunch of folks agreeing with my comments. Just stick to your group chats of where everyone thinks just like you lol.
And im sure you know he was offended when they tried to renegotiate his salary afterwards and came to the Jays afterwards. Its part of why he said he had something to prove against those teams.
Again, my point was that this front office doesnt have a big track record of investing heavily on the bullpen. It doesnt mean that cant change but was just stating my 2 cents.
No it means he doesnt prioritize elite bullpen arms. Before Hoffman, Green was the biggest bullpen investment they made and that was because we got him after his majory injury.
I also cant believe you choose to get offended when I made a generic comment. It doesnt mean he still cant do it, was just giving my 2 cents based on his track record.
Hope you wear kneepads and wipe your face after Atkins gets done with you lol.
Ya I think we need a true elite bullpen arm. Hoffman is better than his numbers show but hes also hasn't been good enough to be that guy.
I just dont see this front office making it happen. Hoffman literally landed in our lap after 2 failed physicals for them to get that type of arm.
Crazy part is that we need him to be good enough down the stretch where he opts out after the year. If he opts in then that means he didnt deliver this season.
Very risky move for a team looking for certainty. They must be 100% sold on his rehab so I cant wait to see him with the big club.
The ultimate risk to trust your playoff run on a guy coming off a major injury and can leave at the end of the season. We can look really stupid here.
BUT, we can look like geniuses if Bieber comes back this season and is his regular self, and we're able to lock him into any type of extension.
It is unreal the amount of trades the Padres have made the past several years. I am always in the camp of "proven MLB players >>> prospects" and they do a great job of that. It just sucks for them that they share a division with the Dodgers lol.
Manoah was hard to trust even when he was fully healthy. Hes coming off a major injury so trusting him to be part of a tight pennant race was always wishful thinking.
At best he can join the bullpen this year and go for a starter job next year. Or maybe we have injuries to some starters and he's our SP7.
Have we gotten the 2015 version's of Price Tulo, Revere and Lowe yet? Think we got Lowe covered with Dominguez, I'll settle for Price and Tulo clones :)
He can easily be a starting calibre CF for a stacked hitting team. Like you said, hes an elite defender, baserunner, bunt guy who plays at the 8/9 spot. I love him as the 4th OF on our team for those reasons.
