    You also have no f***ing idea what the rest thought either. Most of us are going by what the major media outlets are projecting and their perceived value. Everyone thinks we overpaid so just accept that. No need to get defensive about Shatkins getting hosed.
  2. Jays24
    Practically everyone on our 2015/2016 roster hated Shatkins because they wanted to breakup the team. There was a reason why they cleaned house completely. They didn't want any of the older regime players effecting the new regime players.

    But it seems the rest of the Major League seems to think they are. There's no problem in trading them but you better get more than 1.5 years of Berrios...

    The league clearly values Martin as everyone is saying we paid too high of a price. Look at what the Padres and Dodgers have been giving up in their trades. That's how you get things done. We wasted half a season with no bullpen and a whatever rotation. Just a panic trade by Shatkins when there was no reason to.

    Why the hell do we even need to get into a bidding war to 1.5 years of Berrios? There needs to be an extension involved or we just got raped. Imagine if there's a work stoppage...

    Look at our overall payroll, we're like 50 million less than our usual competing years. We gave up 2 amazing prospects for 1.5 years of Berrios and then what do you expect his contract to be? Just a joke of a trade.
  7. Jays24
    This is absolutely a JOKE of a trade. Instead of going hard after free agents, we decide to give up 2 amazing prospects. f*** Shatkins if the return is 1.5 years of Berrios. The Padres traded for so many friggin pitchers without giving up a return like what we just did.

    If we trade for Story, they better find a way to lock him up long term or this management team is looking foolish. We already got Semien to worry about unless we want to move Biggio back to 2B, Story 3B and take back a compensation pick for Semien.

    That would sound great if Hand was having a great season and wasn't a free agent in a couple of months. I'm just not a fan of trying to push for a wild card birth considering the position we're in currently.
  10. Jays24
    Whatever the Jays do, we better not be getting rentals. It's extremely shortsighted.
  11. Jays24
    Friggin Padres man. Their 6th starter would be a #2 on most teams. It's ridiculous.
  12. Jays24
    Controllable players for at least next season should be our only move unless we're getting a total steal of a rental. This would be an awesome move but will damage the farm system quite a bit.
  13. Jays24
    It doesn't make any sense man. Our starting rotation and bullpen were huge question marks going into the season for skill and health reasons. Why not stock up on 1 year deals when the cost was NOTHING but money for a team that was well under their usual budget. Im probably more upset at their train of thought than I am with actually losing Adams. It's just bad asset management.
  14. Jays24
    We could have had Hand last year when he was placed on waivers and then again in free agency. Instead we choose to get him when he isn't pitching well while we're practically out of the division race and give up Adams in the process for 2 months of his services? This looks very stupid man.
  15. Jays24
    The more I think about it, more the Hand move irks me. It goes against everything they've been doing and planning for. Going after a rental who hasnt been good while giving up a decent prospect who could be used for a real long term piece is unnecessary.
  16. Jays24
    Not a fan of giving up anything worthwhile for a rental. We could have just signed him outright before the season began with our payroll figures being so low.
  17. Jays24
    Next year will be our year to contend once the team actually gets the payroll up to a real level. The wait and see approach of our young guys will be over and we'll know who's actually part of the core.
  18. Jays24
    How crappy can Kirk be defensively if Reese is substituting for him here?
  19. Jays24
    Pretty sure he was telling Springer that he couldn't see the ball. You could tell by Grichuk's movements that he had no clue where the ball was as soon as it was hit.
  20. Jays24
    Please don't let that play be the beginning of our end. It's been that type of season...
  21. Jays24
    We might as well sell Ray and Semien if we aren't planning on re-signing them. Find out what their number is now long term and if it doesn't work then trade them to long term pieces. Only makes sense with the other teams getting stronger in the short term.
  22. Jays24
    We should not be in on any rentals. Only trade for players under control for at least next season. Our management has already wasted half the season to observe the team, which has probably cost us the division. Making a foolish panic trade would be foolish and unlike this management.
  23. Jays24
    I swear the Padres have bee trading from tbeir farm system for like 3 years. What they've done is absolutely remarkable. Just too bad they're stuck in a division with the Dodgers.
  24. Jays24
    Logged on just to vent about how friggin stupid that was. How do you reach the majors and still don't understand when you're supposed to run or not...
  25. Jays24
    Exactly. This team will not trade any major pieces for a rental. Whoever they get will be under control for a few years at least. I want to win this season as much as anyone but the long term picture matters the most here. Beginning next season, there will be no excuses. Expanded playoffs, which I feel will be added next year, will probably make the process easier too.
