    We traded him AGAIN? Ugh. This front office is no better than the last one.

    "But if I really say it, the radio won't play it." You couldn't get a lot past the CBS censors, nor radio, but put it sideways and the subversion sometimes slipped through.

    Carnac: "Julio Urias, Jose De Leon, Yadier Alvarez, and Clayton Kershaw." Ed: Julio Urias, Jose De Leon, Yadier Alvarez, and Clayton Kershaw. And what could these gentlemen possibly have in common, oh Great One? Carnac: Those are the names that come to me. Unless you have some information about Walker Buehler. Ed: I have no such information, Your Magnificence. Carnac: When exactly did you ever have any information? Ed: Only in your presence, Sir. We drink at the fount of your wisdom. Carnac: Fount? May the firehose of Internet Rumormongering fill your basement and damage your sump pump. Ed: Sage prognostication, oh Seer of Seers. Now, would you be so kind as to open the envelope? Carnac: "Name four pitchers who will serve on the Dodgers' welcoming committee for free agent Brian Dozier in 2019."

    You click on a news item that is too good to be true, you get Rick Astley. You click on a link purporting to rick roll you, be prepared for a news item that is too good to be true. / or porn, if it's someone else

    Wonderful wife, great kids - glad to know you feel I am worthy.

    Oh, you're just mad because you got rickroll'd. / Go ahead, click the link. It won't give your computer a virus.
  7. ashbury
    Good. Then I can go back to laughing because you clicked on a link that suggested Urias might be negotiable. In a game thread.
  8. ashbury
    The bad news is that I laughed when I read this response. The good news is that I am genuinely sorry if I caused you even a hint of trouble.
  9. ashbury
    No, but the rumors on MLBTR just took an interesting turn. Urias now, maybe?
  10. ashbury
    That'll teach me. Try and help Chief out with his geography? Sheesh.
  11. ashbury
    Good, I guess. It felt good.

    "Who's there?" "Sam & Janet." "Sam & Janet who?" Sam & Janet proceed to break into tears as their grandmother's Alzheimers has progressed to the point where she can no longer remember them.

    You think that's bad? I've been through the desert on a horse with no name. He smelled just as terrible, and I didn't even know what to call him if I complained about it.

    I guess if you go to Wayzata and keep going far enough west, you do come back to Toronto.

    That's quite a case of Hitch Hiker's Thumb. (Probably it's a related malady like Catcher's Thumb, that I never heard of.)

    Put "media" in square brackets without the quotes, put the URL, put "/media" in brackets. It might have to be the normal YouTube URL rather than the .be variant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gORMNmZgE3E There is also the little square turquoise/white button at the top (third from left) of the editing tool, BBCode, that you can click for "Media", but I find it easier just to type the characters on the keyboard most times.

    Wow. His poor family.

    As I said, I am willing to trade from excess. I just feel we are several months away from knowing this, with regard to starting pitching. Hughes' recovery from surgery is not a lock, for instance. With those additional months, we might have a clearer idea who the excess actually is.
  21. ashbury
    One has little to do with the other. Dozier is a trade candidate because of an excess of MLB talent at his position. Much the same as we traded AJ when Mauer was ready. It might be true that something could be obtained for ESan, and I won't protest if the return is good, but we are not dealing from an excess at his position, and we don't have any productive use I know of for the salary a trade would likely free up. I advocate trying to improve the major league roster going into each season - except for the case at the beginning of a rebuild when the prospect shelf is bare, and that is not us now. Worst to first is rare, so I want improvement this year; there is value in not subjecting our several good young players to a losing atmosphere. Falvey has been quoted that he needs to be overwhelmed in order to trade Dozier, but for me Santana is the real case where a trade offer would need to surprise me. All that said, if ESan was the additional key that unlocked Urias, I would not hesitate. I just doubt it.

    It's moot now that San Diego has him, but he was age 20 and Turner was age 24. That's the type of distinction that, for example, separated Eduardo Escobar from Pedro Florimon in my estimation, a few years ago. Torrens has a much better ceiling. Whether Cincy San Diego can keep him on the 25-man all season is a different question...
  23. ashbury
    As mentioned above, the picking team can work out some kind of considerations in order to keep the player and option him. Cash, FA cap room, or another player in trade. That might be San Diego's plan here. They were apparently carrying only 33 on their roster. Get the guys, then see what can be worked out.
  24. ashbury
    Oops, that cancels part of my logic regarding the Reds and Turner. I forgot that with Rule 5 you have to wait a few hours to see how things shake out.

    This man agrees: http://golistyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/This-Random-Guy-Paid-Us-to-A-Lot-to-Write-About-How-Sexy-He-Is-360x240.jpg / he's what comes up first when I do a Google image search today for "random guy"
