  1. UNLESS nobody gives him the mega deal. You know. Like last time..
  2. One thing we don't do around these parts is factor in leadership and attitude. That's why a certain purple team whose TEs on this year's roster had a combined 9 NFL catches last year sat on it's hands while a guy with the 12th most TD catches by a TE in the history of the league and a great reputation as a leader signed with another team. That's why the same team saw a handful of it's un-vaccinated "leaders" miss time with Covid last year. Same team will see another one of it's leaders on the other side of the line of scrimmage when the Cowboys come to town in November. That team will probably stumble to another rudderless 8 win this year. I know, I digress from the team at hand. However, I've seen the team at hand play with a lack of heart this year and last while a certain Eddie (and Ehire) won a World Series in Atlanta last year. The stuff you can't measure matters. Somebody should tell the decision makers around here.
  3. I'd love to see us offer him a longer term deal but nothing more than 5 years.
  4. I see Verlander taking a short term deal with someone but don't see the Astros allowing that team to be anyone but the Astros.
  5. Unless the starter with a year and a half of team control that you traded away for two guys stuck in AA signs a contract that he would have jumped at had YOU offered it to him.......
  6. You banking on those two coming back and NO more injury issues for the next three months? I'm not saying Bradley's the guy but I'm also not saying we won't see Sano reappear come playoff time.
  7. So wrong. Seems like only a year ago we traded away our best starter for a couple of AA guys who remain AA guys to this day. Somebody's gotta get fired for this week.
  8. Prospects are suspects until they're not. I've said for weeks that most fans would either be underwhelmed by what happens at the deadline or stunned at the cost. Not underwhelmed.
  9. Been saying for weeks that fans would either be underwhelmed with deadline moves or stunned at the cost. Glad we're not underwhelmed.
  10. Had they offered him the contract he signed in Toronto I have no reason he would not have signed it here.
  11. At no point have there been 9 guys healthier and hitting better than Urshela and Sanchez.
  12. You've isolated the problem. At no point have there been nine guys healthier and hitting better than Sanchez & Urshela. This ain't rocket science.
  13. Liam Hendricks was at one time a waiver wire pickup. Relievers are fickle. Many /most? are failed starters.
  14. Not quite sure what world Urshela & Sanchez can be called second stringers in. OK, technically Jeffers has caught two more games than Sanchez but, counting DH, Sanchez has 92 more PA than Jeffers so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Sanchez is NOT a second stringer.
  15. Four guys who can help and didn't give up Lewis, Canterino, Woods-Richardson, Martin, Wallner, Jose Rodriguez, Balazovic or Varland.
  16. I remember a significant number of fans who didn't care for Mauer and he DID hit.
  17. Hope is not a strategy which is probably why they made 4 trades today.
  18. Fairly impressed with how they did in spite of all the pressure and the talent that had previously flown off the board.
  19. Totally agree. Said the day we traded him that we'd find ourselves looking for what we just moved. We got two AA guys for him who remain AA guys to this day. Maybe they'll eventually pan out. Also a pretty good chance that Berrios will return to form as well. We could have had him and Buxton for half what the Padres will end up giving Juan Soto.
  20. You can slice it any way you want. As long as the standings say they're in first place, they're in first place. Full season standings are not based on any period of the season other than the entire season.
  21. I thought we fixed our lack of top 100 guys when we traded Berrios....
  22. I guess it's a good thing that the season goes from March 30 to September 30 rather than May 30 to July 30.
  23. just quoting you
  24. First place is first place. OMG at team had a losing record for a month.
